As a muslim I believe that only God (Allah or you may call him yahweh and he is laso known by terms like the most beautifull, most powerfull , all-knowing , etc ) was God.
2 questions:
1-dont you belive that he is so much great and perfect in all the respect(beauty, power, knowledge, kindness,love , etc) that he is incomparable with all other beings.no other being is even close to him in beauty ,power, etc. he is the source.
he is like a painter and all the other beings are like his paintings.
don't you agree that our beauties and nowledges and etc are just some small shadows of his light.
don't you believe that he was the cause of all causes.
and can there ultimately be more than one "cause of all causes"?
can there be two most beautifull ??I want to call the most beautifull "beloved" can there ultimately be 2 or 3 beloved??
or we are in a journey to ultimately reach to our one beloved
,the source?

2-if there were more than one God (lets say 3 or 2), there should be some characteristics in common between these Gods and some uncommon or different
(because if all the things were the same we wouldnt say 3 we would say one) , so then each God would be made of 2 parts: one common part and one exclusive
part and Gods would be compound, but God is not compound like us ,because he is the source, he is a being that we no longer have to say: ok where is the source of his components!!!
and also if there were more than one God one God would lack the exclusive part of other Gods , God and lacking????

to rolling stone:
so are you a christian and you believe jesus is not God?, then you are like muslims.
we are not discusing about the names(allah and yahweh) we are talking about concepts

Read boethius consolation of philosophy.
If there were two gods, each would be lacking to each other and neither one would be all powerful.

No disrespect intended. But that is the same as the Jewish God and the Christian ones definition .
You can also add the SELF created One, the Ancient of Days. The CREATOR of ALL THINGS.who said I have as many names as their are stars in the sky and grains of sand in the Oceans.

Tell me about your God. Does he/she/it has a name? What is his/her/its name? How do you know that there are not other God's? Does you God really care about your political agenda?
Now to your two questions: How do you know about your God? The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or the God of Abraham, someone other than Isaac. The God of Moses? The God of Jesus? The God of Muhammad?
What does God tell you about himself? He existed before and created all you can observe. God is spirit.
What of those lovely words you like to use? Where did they come from? From the prophets or from men?
Everything you know about God come from his/her/its prophets. First Moses, then Jesus. What about Muhammad?
God's words are recorded in the Holy Scriptures, the Christian Bible [Holy Scriptures and New Testament], but what about the Qur'an? The first two fit together without contradictions, but the third contradicts the other two.
Here are the facts: Muslims believe There is no God but God; and Muhammad is the messenger of God". Judaism uses "Hear of Israel the Lord our God the Lord is one" twenty one centuries earlier. Christianity uses Judaism.
The source of all your know is revelation. It does not say anything about other Gods, just the God who calls himself "I am who am". He forbids the Israelites to worship other Gods. The God who is spirit (wind).
Now we come to the real issues: The answer to your question is in belief. You have told us your belief is in the God of Muhammad and the Qur'an that documents He/Her/It.
Putting other gods before God. What are these other gods? And do you believe in them?
When you understand the prophets and hear their message, you find your God and possibility others. If you are lucky you will find your belief.

I disagree with you on your statements about Allah. But you're right, there is only one actual God. It is the God of the Bible. Read the Bible. Comprehend the New Testament. That is the only God.
