There is no deity except Allah. He is indivisible and absolutely transcendent. God is the Almighty, the Creator and the Sustainer of the universe, Who is similar to nothing and nothing is comparable to Him. The basic message of Islam is that God (Allah in Arabic) and His creation are distinctly different entities. Neither is Allah His creation or a part of it, nor is His creation Him or a part of Him. This might seem obvious, but, man's worship of creation instead of the Creator is to a large degree based on ignorance of this concept. It is the belief that the essence of Allah is everywhere in His creation or that His divine being is or was present in some aspects of His creation, which has provided justification for the worship of creation, though such worship may be called the worship of Allah through his creation. However, the message of Islam as brought by the prophets of Allah.

First your contradicting yourself in regards to creation and Allah. If you believe Allah is the creator then you either have to accept that Allah is completely seperate from his creation and it is just a reflection of his power or you believe that he is incorporated into his creation and if you were to harm the earth you would be harming allah then he would be bound by his creation and cease to be god.
If Allah did create the earth as you say, then you cannot incorporate any part of the Bible into your doctrine of Allah, the God of the Bible is completely different than the way you describe Allah. If Allah is not the God of the Bible, then he has alot of explaining to do when it comes to man, sin, man's relationship to allah and how allah deals with that sin and why.
The truth is, Mohammed just couldn't come up with enough story lines to account for all that Jehovah has done so by using part of the Bible, giving Jesus a part in history and using some of the Bibles doctrine, he, as well as the "revisors" of the Qu-ran had to compile other material for a doctrine of their own.
Allah is not God, the Lord God Jehovah is God and was revealed through Jesus to men.

15 Almighty God El-Shaddai Genesis 17:1
16 Everlasting God El-Olam Genesis 21:33
El means strength, mighty, almighty, or, by extension, deity. Eloah is probably derived from el, and always refers to deity. Elah is the Aramaic (Chaldean) form of Eloah. Elohim is the plural form of Eloah, and the Old Testament uses this word more than any other to mean God. In this case, the Hebrew plural is an intensive form denoting the greatness, majesty, and multiple attributes of God. (See Chapter 7 - OLD TESTAMENT EXPLANATIONS.) The Bible also uses the word elohim to refer to false gods (Judges 8:33), spirit beings (I Samuel 28:13), and human rulers or judges (Psalm 82). In these cases it is translated god or gods. Adon means ruler, master, or lord whether human, angelic, or divine. Adonai is the emphatic form of Adon, and specifically refers to the Lord (God).

You seem to know there is only 1 GOD, yet seem to misunderstand the world you live in.
The world is filled with people each given a wonderful gift by GOD - free will. This does not seem to bring any concern to GOD, just to humans. Humans can not agree how to live with people that don't think like they do.
We humans have been killing each other since day 1 (well -you know what I mean.) Since Cain and Abel.
Also you forgot the millions that (live Gods way) - but freely do not believe GOD exists, and the people that believe in hundreds of gods. neither group affect GOD at all. They are basically good caring people, marching to a different drummer, (still doing the work of GOD - because humans don't know the willl of GOD!!)
And you may be insulted for your views, which I hope your ready for. Every religion has rude people, can't defend that, but it's true. Thinking your better than others wil generate a lot of rudeness.
So, in review:
1. There is 1 GOD.
2. GOD gave man free will.
3. GOD only wants people to treat each other better.
4. Humans can't be forced to do anything. But they try.
5. Humans still love to hurt each other, more than trying to agree on things non violently.
6. humans form groups that hurt each other, under the guise of doing GODs will.
7. These groups do not do any good
a. to the human groups they belong
b. to GOD.
All violence must be stopped.
8. you generated a lot of rude answers because the world read nothing but one view, and little caring for others feelings.

Numerous Gods, to satisfy the mental conditions of every munitest part of your mind.
However, how you claim to be no deity other than Allah?
Does the universe originated with Allah?
In your predicament, accordingly the universe could have originated very late in the 12th century only.
Why you want to bother the serious people?

You are clearly a devout Muslim and I respect you for that - but what I must question is your devotion to a belief of which you have no personal experience - you have not seen God, you have not spoken to him, he is, by your own description above, too remote. This is the same flaw in all the religions - blind faith! Like you I too believe in one God, but like Hindu's, I believe that there are many deities who bring forth creation in His name and run things as we see them - but there is only one thing that absolutely exists for either you or I - one thing that no one can challenge be he beast, man, or a God - and that is that you exist. You have life. That life is not your personality or your present body. This very life within us is the stuff of the one and only True God, or Allah - it is the drop that must return to the ocean from where it originated - the path home lies within yourself my friend, call it life, or call it Allah, it all lies within - seek it there - May God be with you.

I'm god! No, but really, there's many point of views on this topic, so keep an open mind. Don't close it off to other insights, you could really miss something that you otherwise would think is the best thing you've ever heard in your entire existance. So in other words, there are many gods to many different people, and I respect that. You have Allah, and I think that that's awesome.

There is no reason to argue about which God is the right one, because if they are all the same God then it doesn't matter what name we call him - he will know what is in our hearts. All roads to seeking the truth lead to the same finish line, God and/or Allah know this, it's time for people to realize it, and stop trying to convert others to their religion.

God is ABSOLUTE.
It's strange to me that Christians say they believe in one God, but they worship Jesus and recognize that there is God the Father, too. Then there is the Holy Spirit. So in essence they worship three GODS.

Can your GOD is having feelings and emotions ? Unless he is person and spirit it is not possible for him to understand our problems.
Why God waited until Pro.Mohammad(pubh)'s divine revelation?
Is there any where in Koran mentioned about God is Love?
Do you have assurance of salvation?
Do you have proofs that the revelations of INGIL, ZUBUR are corrupted?
Why Koran is not translated in to other languages?
BIBLE says there is no one on the earth is sinless?
defend your faith!

as a catholic, I believe in one God, with three divine persons. however, your question seems more of a means to tell exactly what you believe in...seeing as how you know there is only one God. I do agree that you have some good points, but would advise you not to do this sort of thing in this section...you will certantly get many rude sarcastic comments...God Bless!
