The concept of God in Islam:

         By Dr. Gilani; April 2004 Los Angeles, California 

         Presented at the University of San Bernardino, California 2003

 

Since time immemorial, people have worshipped deities in the form of symbols, statues,

certain animals, paintings, ancestors, saints, spirits, angels, and other human beings such as kings,

emperors, prophet, pharaohs, etc.

 

About 1400 years ago, a man who spent many years in meditation and contemplation,

reported the apparition of an angelic being, gradually relaying to him, messages from God, The Creator.

 

It started like this:

                              “In the name of God, most Gracious and Merciful.

                               Read in the name of your Creator – Lord – Nurturer;

                               Who created humans of a suspending (leech like) being”

                               (early microscopic stage of development in uterus) *

 

This “Reading” in Arabic means “Quran”.

 

More:

 

17:23  Your God-Lord Nurturer decreed that you shall not worship anyone but God and to be kind to parents”

 

59:24  God is the Creator of things from nothingness, giving shapes to things; to God belong beautiful Names;

          By God’s decree revolve whatever is in Heavens and Earth and God is the Ultimately Unique Powerful and Wise.”

 

6:103  Eyes do not perceive God, but God perceives eyes and God is the Absolute Accurate Knower of all.”

 

112: 1,2,3,4  Say : God is the One Unique Creator. Only God is self sufficient and all depend upon God.

                   God does not produce children, but creates all and is not born, and none is equal to God!
