Allah Is One

Allah Is One

"Allah (swt)" (Lafz al-Jalalah) is a proper noun par excellence. No plural can be derived from it and it is according to the best authorities, without derivations. Allah is the distinctive name for the Supreme Being in the Qur'an. In the Arabic language, the word is never used for any single being. It is a personal name of God (swt), neither attributive nor descriptive.

PS. Christian Arabs call God Allah. Allah is the word in Arabic translation of God, but there is no plural to this unique word (no Gods, but single God)"

According to the most correct opinions, Allah (swt) is the Being who exists necessarily by Himself, comprising all qualities of perfection. The word connotes all the attributes of aupremacy, majesty, perfection and beauty in their infinitude and denotes none but the One and Unique God (swt), the Absolute, Supreme, Perfect, Tender, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Gracious, Benign and Compassionate. The English word God, which is the common Teutonic word for a personal object of religious worship, falls far short in conveying that which is intended by Allah.

Ahad (the One) is an epithet applied to Allah (swt) alone and signifies, the One; the Sole; He Who has been and will ever be One and Alone; Who has no second to share in His Lordship, nor in His Essence. Allah (swt) is One; One in the sense of His Essential Existence, not only in the numerical sense of the word, (which has its second and third), but the One which has no second in an absolute sense. One beyond dimension, beyond measure and beyond categorization; absolute in essence and manifestation, Unicity of Allah (swt). ALINTIDIR ( QUOTED FROM ANOTHER ONE )
