Name of God?


In the name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful

By what name do we call God? The Muslims prefer calling the Supreme Creator, Allah, instead of by the English word ‘God’. The Arabic word, ‘Allah’, is pure and unique, unlike the English word ‘God’, which can be played around with.

If you add ‘s’ to the word God, it becomes ‘Gods’, that is the plural of God. Allah is one and singular, there is no plural of Allah. If you add ‘dess’ to the word God, it becomes ‘Goddess’ that is a female God. There is nothing like male Allah or female Allah. Allah has no gender. If you add the word ‘father’ to ‘God’ it becomes ‘God-father’. God-father means someone who is a guardian. There is no word like ‘Allah-Abba’ or ‘Allah-father’. If you add the word ‘mother’ to ‘God’, it becomes ‘God-mother’. There is nothing like ‘Allah-Ammi’, or ‘Allah-mother’ in Islam. Allah is a unique word. If you prefix tin before the word God, it becomes tin-God i.e., fake God. Allah is a unique word, which does not conjure up any mental picture nor can it be played around with. Therefore the Muslims prefer using the Arabic word ‘Allah’ for the Almighty. Sometimes, however, while speaking to the non-Muslims we may have to use the inappropriate word God, for Allah.

To Allah belong the most beautiful names:
The Qur’an says:
"Say: Call upon Allah, or
Call upon Rahman:
By whatever name you call
Upon Him, (it is well):
For to Him belong
The Most Beautiful Names."
[Al-Qur'an 17:110]

ONE POWER: THE SUPREME

Islamic QuerriesHe merges Night into Day, And He merges Day into Night, and He has subjected the sun and the moon (to his law): Each one runs its course for a term appointed. Such is Allah your Lord:
To Him belongs all Dominion. And those whom ye invoke besides him have not the least power.
(AL-FATIR 35:13)

Today if we look around our universe we will see millions and billions of stars and planets revolving around in their orbits. Similarly not in our universe but after our universe mega-verse starts and in it we also find the same law of revolving of planets.
It is not an incident that a mega-verse and its billions of planet following similar law of revolving. May be we can say for one or two, ten or twenty or may be hundred or thousand planets following similar law but we are talking about whole universe following similar law of revolving. Billions of stars and planets revolving in same pattern.
This prove us that there is only one power is present in the universe. Which making whole universe work not just ten twenty but billions of planets works on the instructions of that supreme power. And every planet in under that supreme power and obey that power. And that Supreme of is belong to Allah Al-mighty.

And it is He Who made the Night and the Day to follow each other: For such as have the will to celebrate His praises or to show their gratitude.
(AL-FURQAN 25:62)
