Allah is the name of God. Some people ascribe false attributes to Allah.
We Muslims have our knowledge of Allah through what He revealed in the Holy Qura’n or through Prophet Muhammad (
Salalahu Alihi
Wasallam. SAW, peace be upon him).
“Allah, there is no god save Him, the Alive, the Eternal, Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. Into Him belongs what so ever is in the heavens and what so ever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedes with Him save by His leave? he knows that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save that He will. His Throne includes the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous” (Qur'an.
2:255).
“All that is in the heavens and earth glorify Allah and He is the Mighty, the Wise. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He ordains life and death and has power over all things. He is the First and the Last and the Inward and the Outward. He has knowledge of all things”
(Qur'an. 57:1-4).
“Everything will perish save His countenance. His is the command and unto Him you will be brought back”(Qur'an. 28:88).
“The Originator of the heavens and the earth, when He will a thing He only says unto it “BE” and it is (Qur'an. 2:117)
“And not an atom’s weight in the earth or in the heavens escapes your Lord’s knowledge; neither is there anything smaller than that or larger, but is recorded in a clear decree” (Qur'an. 10-61).
“He knows what you conceal and what you reveal and God knows well the (secrets) of (all) hearts. (Qur'an. 64:4).
“There is nothing like unto Him” (Qur'an. 42:11).
