Who is Allah?

Who is Allah?

Allah is the Arabic name for Almighty God and is used by Arabic speakers regardless of religious inclination and can be used interchangeably with all of the names that Allah has given Himself. In Islam the most important concept is the fact that Allah is One and nothing shares His attributes. He has no partners, no parents or offspring and is the ultimate Creator of the universe. He is the One who was the beginning and will continue after the end as we know it. Allah has created all things with a design and purpose. Included in this is the creation of the Heavens and the Earth and all of humankind. Allah is same Creator that has been worshipped throughout time as the Originator of the universe.

For various reasons, some non-Muslims mistakenly believe that Muslims worship a different God than the God of Moses and Abraham and Jesus. This is certainly not the case, since the Pure Monotheism of Islam calls all people to the worship of the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and all of the other true prophets.
