Allah
Allah in Islam
Allah is the same God that all the prophets, including Jesus, in the Holy worshipped and called their adherents to believe in and to worship, hence, the claim that the god of Muslims is not the god of the Holy Book is absurd and untenable. Cognates of the name "Allah" exist in other Semitic languages, including Hebrew and Aramaic.
In Islam all the prophets were sent to humanity to lead them to the One God” Allah” and they were strict and uncompressing about the concept of monotheism which later was tampered by the human concepts which either distorted the pure concept of Lordship as in the old Testament or made God one person among three persons as in Christianity and Judaism, the first according to the Islamic culture is called the distortion of the concept of unification of Lordship and the other is called the distortion of Godhood.
The name” Allah” in Arabic is so great because it includes all the meanings of the other fine names which amount to 99 names. In Islam” Allah” cannot bordered in a certain place, nor can time change Him.
His greatness is far beyond the human perception and non among His creatures can describe him. Words and expressions cannot describe Him. He can’t be seen.
None is o be worshipped save Him, none is raised to his rank to the event that it is completely prohibited to swear by anybody’s name other than Him.
He is Merciful and out of his mercy He created the world and lavished it with his care and bounties. The Holy Quran stresses this concept in many verses reminding man of the infinite number of bounties He gave. The Holy Quran always refers to God’s mercy in tailoring the universe to fit the life of the human being.

The concept of man-god in Islam
The concept of man-god or incarnated in the form of a human being is completely false in Islam and logically unacceptable because God, as stressed in the Holy Quran is like unto nothing and nothing is like unto him. The offspring carries the same attributes of the father, so you can conclude the attributes of the gather from a close look at the son, all the men-god slept, suffered, ate, drank , tested by the devil, suckled from their mother and went through the phases of the growth of the humans… can God be like this?
The Holy Quran, God’s last word to humanity addressed this problem in one of its shortest chapters
Anthropomorphism is considered blasphemy in Islam
In Islam God doesn’t need to rest, the Holy Quran says: We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us. Surah 50:38, this concept contradicts the Holy Book which states explicitly that God needs to rest after doing work (Exodus 31:17)
In Islam God is so powerful, He is Almighty God, the Holy Quran says in this regard:
They measure not God with His true measure; surely God is All-strong, All-mighty. Surah 22:74
This concept contradicts the Holy Book concept which portrays God wrestling with one of his creature and is defeated (Genesis 32:28)
According to the Holy Quran God is so great that He can’t be seen, God says in this regard what means:`
No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things.( Surah 6:103)
This concept contradicts the Holy Book concept about God that he can be seen (Genesis 32:30)
According to the Holy Quran God is far beyond the human perception, the Holy Quran says:
There is nothing whatever like unto HIM, and HE is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.( Surah 42:11)
Therefore do not give likenesses to Allah; surely Allah knows and you do not know. (Surah 16:74)
This concept contradicts the Holy Book concept in Samuel 22:9,11 which portrays God as an entity that has nostrils and mouth.
In the Holy Quran is Just and his Justice is infinite and most of time God rules by His mercy.
Surely Allah does not do injustice to the weight of an atom, and if it is a good deed He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.( Surah 4:40). This concept is different from the Holy Book in Job 19:6-7 and Psalm 7:6
In Islam God is never overtaken by a slumber of sleep, the Holy Quran says:
“Allah! There is no Allah save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.”( Surah 2:255)
This concept is completely different from the Holy Book concept in (Psalm 44:23 and Psalm 78:65)
In Islam God is always helpful, God says in this regard in the Holy Quran:
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright.( Surah 2:186)
And He also says:
Or, Who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and Who relieves its suffering, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides God? Little it is that ye heed! (Surah 27:62)
This concept contradicts the Holy Book concept in this regard, please read Psalm 44:24 and Surah 2:186
"There is nothing
Whatever like unto Him,
And He is the One
That hears and sees (all things)." [Al-Qur’an 42:11]
