(9) ALLAH IS THE TRUE GOD
الله الإله
A
man must take a moment to contemplate on the words of his creator, Allah the
most exalted and High, who says: [It
is He Who brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers when you knew
nothing; and He gave you hearing and sight and intelligence and affections:
that ye may give thanks (to Allah)]
(Q16:78) Allah also says: [But
Allah has created you and your handwork]
(Q37:96). Allah further says: [Allah
is the Creator of all things]
(Q39:62), [I
have only created Jinn and men, that they may worship Me.]
(Q51:56).
It
means that Allah didn’t bring creatures into existence except to be worshiped
alone with associating partners, through sincere devotion. Therefore He is Allah besides whom no deity
is worthy of worship. Allah, the
creator, says: [Allah
is He, than Whom there is no other god;- Who knows (all things) both secret and
open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- the Sovereign, the Holy
One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver
of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah.
(High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the
Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names:
whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory:
and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.]
(Q59:22-24). Allah, the exalted, also
says: [Say:
"O People of the Book! Come to common terms as between us and you: That we
worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect
not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah." If then
they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims
(bowing to Allah’s Will).]
(Q3:64). Here Allah is commanding
Muhammad to say to the people of the book; Jews and Christians, to rally around
a common term between us and them; that is, we should worship none other than
Allah; that we associate no partners in His worship; that none of us shall take
one another as lords besides Allah. In
this verse, Allah the creator, commands his messenger and prophet Muhammad (May
the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to remind the people of the book;
the Jews and the Christians, that they must believe in Muhammad, the last
prophet, as well as all other prophets (Peace upon them) who commanded the true
worship of Allah, the manifest truth.
Allah, the exalted, says: [Say:
"He is ((Allah)) Most Gracious: We have believed in Him, and on Him have
we put our trust...]
(Q67:29), [... Is
it not His to create and to govern? Blessed be Allah, the Cherisher and
Sustainer of the worlds!]
(Q7:54). Allah also says: [Behold!
In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and
day,- there are indeed Signs for men of understanding]
(Q3:90). It means that in the heavens,
the earth, the alternating of day and night are signs and clear-cut evidence
for those who have living minds that guide them to the right path as it guides
them to the belief in Allah, the exalted, and in his messengers. Allah sent his messengers to command people
to worship Him alone, without associating partners in his worship. They were sent to forbid people from
worshiping other deities besides Allah, whether it is the sun, the moon, objects,
idols, graves, or any other creature.
The worship of any creature is not legitimate; rather all acts of
worship should be dedicated to Allah alone, which is why he sent all his
messengers, May peace be upon them, to command people to do just that. While informing us about his messengers,
Allah, the exalted, says: [We
sent not an apostle except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in
order to make (things) clear to them...]
(Q14:4), [For
We assuredly sent amongst every People an apostle, (with the Command),
"Serve Allah, and eschew Evil":]
(Q16:36)
