MOST FREQUENT QUESTION ABOUT ISLAM

This Arabic word “Allah” is not subject to plurality.  It is a Symbol of pure Islamic monotheism. Allah is both; a reference and a personal name of The One and only Universal God, Creator, Provider and Sustainer of the worlds, then He ends all and resurrects all, and finally on Judgment Day He Judges all for their deeds.  It is also valuable to mention that Arab Christians and Jews use the name “Allah” of the same God they all worship.

Allah says about Himself in Quran (Interpretation of meanings), “He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed. He is the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.” (Quran 59-22:24)

Christians and Jews living in an Islamic state are citizens that enjoy the freedom of belief, the freedom of travel and move, work of their choosing and the protection of the state. In religious matters they are subject to their religion’s laws but in legal matters they follow the state’s laws. If they do not want to be drafted in the army of the Muslim state they pay special tax called “Jiziah”.

And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission and surrender] to Him.” (Quran 29-46)
