Allaah

Name of God in Islam (Single Divine, Supreme Being). There is only one Diety in Islam and He is Allah. He has many names/titles, e.g. Ar-Rahman - The Most Beneficent, Ar-Raheem - The Most Merciful. He created everything including the Angels, Jinn, Mankind, the Universe, emotions; he is the giver of life and death. He is the Most Powerful and He does not depend on anyone. He does not eat, sleep or get tired; He gives sustenance to all creation and all are dependant on Him. Allah has no partners, parents, wives or children; He does not father children or give birth nor was He born. Allah has been and will always be forever. He created the concept of Time and controls it. Nobody resembles Allah, and He resembles none; He is not and cannot be depicted by any idol. He is pure from all faults. Nothing is hidden from Him; He knows the past, present and future and He knows our thoughts. None besides Him is worthy of any worship and only to Him do we pray.
