Muslims
believe that Allah alone is the
Lord, the Creator and the Provider
of the entire universe. Muslims
also believe that Allah alone, and no one
else, is worthy of worship. The
primary Islamic belief is that
"There is no one worthy of worship
other than Allah and Muhammad is his
messenger".
Allah says in
the Quran (interpretation of the
meaning):
“He is the Originator of the
heavens and the earth. How can He
have children when He has no wife?
He created all things and He is the
All-Knower of everything.
Such is Allah, your Lord! None has
the right to be worshipped but He,
the Creator of all things. So
worship Him (Alone), and He is the
Wakeel (Trustee, Disposer of affairs
or Guardian) over all
things”[Al-Anaam 6:101-102]
Allah has 99 names that reflect His
attributes. Muslims believe that
Allah revealed all holy books such
as the Torah, Bible (Injeel) and the
Final word of God (Allah), called
the Quran. Allah revealed the Quran
in 23 years over prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him).
Muslims
also believe (through Allah's
revelation on his messengers) that
Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad were all
His prophets and messengers. They
were regular human beings and while
Allah did bestow upon them the
ability to demonstrate certain
limited miracles, they were only His
Messengers.
