WHO IS ALLAH? Allah is the proper name applied to the true God who exists necessarily by Himself comprising all the excellent Divine names and attributes of perfection. Allah is One and Unique. He has no son, no partner, nor equal. He is the sole Creator and Sustainer of the universe. Every creature bears witness to His Oneness, Divinity, and Ruboobiyyah [Ruboobiyyah, inf. of Rubb], and to the uniqueness of His attributes and names. His essence does not resemble the essences. He does not inhere in anything, nor does anything inhere in Him. There is none like unto Him. He is the One, the Sole, the Indivisible. He is the Rubb [Some translate the term Rubb into Lord, the meaning of Rubb is far more comprehensive than to be restricted to a single word such as Lord. Rubb, means, among other things, the Creator, the Sustainer, the Provider, and the One in whose hands is the disposal of all affairs], who accomplishes all affairs; Allah is the Omnipotent and the Omniscient. His knowledge comprehends in perfect manner all things, hidden or manifest. He is greater than can be encompassed by the knowledge of His creatures. He knows everything, and He is aware of all that takes place in the earth and the heavens. Allah, the Supreme, is the Rubb of everything and has a free hand in disposal of all affairs. His mercy encompasses everything. He is far removed from injustice or tyranny. He is wise in all His actions, just in all His decrees. His justice ensures order in the universe in which nothing is out of order. There is no one to share His dominion, nor does He take an aide or supporter from His creatures. He is nearer to man than mans own jugular vein 50:16]. Whenever a believer is in need or distress calls on Him, He responds. Allah has revealed His final Scripture, the Quran, to that last of His Messengers, Mohammed sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam who was responsible for conveying the Message of Islam to mankind. He is the Exalted Allah. Glory is due to Him.
