Concept of God in Islam:

Every language has one or more terms that are used in reference to God and sometimes to lesser deities. This is not the case with the word ‘Allah’. Allah is the personal name of the One True God. The term has no plural or gender. This shows its exclusivity when compared to the word ‘god’ which can be made plural, i.e.‘gods’ or feminine, i.e. ‘goddess’. It is interesting to note that Allah is the personal name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus (PBUH). The word Allah is a reflection of the unique concept that Islam associates with God.

To a Muslim, Allah is the Almighty, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, who is similar to none and nothing is comparable to Him. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked by his contemporaries about Allah. The answer came directly from God Himself in the form of a short chapter of the Qur’an that is considered the essence of the Unity of God or the motto of monotheism. “Say: He is Allah, the One; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten, and the Allah is the personal name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus (PBUH). The word Allah is a reflection of the unique concept that Islam associates with God.
