(A) The God of Islam
The God of Islam is the Preserver of all worldly things. He is not the god of a tribe or of a special group only. In their prayers, the Muslims say: “Al-hamdu lil lÄhi Rabbi 'l-`Älamin — Praise be to AllÄh, the Lord of the Universe.” (Qur'Än 1:2)
God is a reality without parallel, beyond all human attributes and likeness; He is not like the gods of some religions who are presented in the form of a human, an animal or a thing.
The God of Islam is One without equal; He has no son or mother or father; neither partner nor associate. This is the message of a short chapter of the Qur'Än which the Muslims recite every day in their prayers so as to be far away from the possibility of associating anything with Him.
