Identity of Allah

  Lesson 1

Identity of Allah

The Almighty Allah is one and unique. None is comparable with Him. He has no partner. Only He is our Ma’bud. He is Eternal and Infinite.

We humans are not created by ourselves. The Almighty Allah has created us. The Almighty Allah has created the whole universe. He has created everything necessary for us. He has created light, air, water and soil and kept all His creations alive and nurtured.

The Great Allah is perfectly maintaining and managing everything in this universe. He is All-Powerful. Everything on earth and the heavens is running by His command.

To Allah belongs all that is in the Heaven and the Earth. He is also the Lord of our joy and sorrow. We are living and dying also for His Wish.

If Allah wishes to punish someone, nobody can resist Him from doing so. Again, if the Great Allah wishes to save someone nobody can give him death. We should do good work for the pleasure of Allah. We must seek help only from Him and must depend on Him. We shall obey all His commands and worship only Him.
