Muslims, is Allah righteous perfect and sinless?

Question

Would a sinless God overlook sin? If Allah judges sin by degree doesnt that mean some sins a more agreeable with him? If Allah was perfect wouldn't any sin be too much sin?

Sahar, If Allah simply overlooks your sin by forgiving you is that not compromising his righteousness?

Can Allah call something that is unholy holy and remain perfect?

Jaicee If I name my dog Allah it does not mean you pray to my dog. So plaing word games does not change the nature of God. The God of Abraham...the one that existed before Muhammad was born..Was aperfect and righteous God...He did not agree with sin..The true God is capable to do anything but he does not sin because righteous is who he is...So my point is why was the God before Muhammad rihgteous and the Allah that Muhamamd wrote about who says he is the same God is not?

Jaicee...the God that was before Muhammad Is a righteous God who does not overlook sin. I am a sinner and I am happy with a righteous God. With an unrighteous God you have nos alvation ot look forward to even if he promised it to you. How could you trust a God who could choose to be unrighteous?

Naush, How can God be both righteous and merciful is an easy question to answer, unfortunately Allah is neither but the true God is both and it was told by Moses and even explained. The true God is truely both he is righteous and does not overlook sin..Allah does overlook sin and Allah is not a righteous God...The true God is merciful he paid the penalty fo death that man incurred from sin...In this way he is merciful and righteous but Allah can not be both as there is no atonement therfore Allah can have mercy but it is not a righteous mercy it is pretending that you are righteous, it does not make you righteous.

Hi djmantx
Allah is claimed to be forgiving in the final judgement, if you have more good in your life than bad. Muslims seek to soothe themselves, and Islam seeks to soothe them, by imagining that they are good enough to make themselves right before God.
If you have enough "good" God will simply ignore the bad? Especially when wehave to consider how even the best of the good deeds are tainted with motives of selfishness, pride, greed, etc. And considering how often there is anger, lust, covetousness.. God is not concerned with the mere external act, but with our hearts and minds.

If God is infinitely holy, then each sin is a mockery of that infinite holiness, and is worthy of infinite punishment.
Allah ignores justice. He ignores truth. He compromises truth as a man compromises truth. The Allah of the Quran in fact appears to be like a man, or the idea of a man, rather than the self-revelation of God
.
He is not completely just and righteous in all things, in all his being, for he ignores justice and righteousness in order to be what Muslims claim is merciful. Thus Allah in some cases ignores sin.

Jesus being God, could bear the infinite justice of God. Jesus being God, could walk a life of perfect holiness -- perfect to the very standard of God Himself -- perfect in every motive, in every desire. Jesus being God, as God, could freely offer to bear our punishment, to be our substitute, to take upon Himself our humanity. And so only a Triune God can truly forgive man's sin; only the Triune God can make a way of salvation and remain perfectly just and holy at the same time.

Answer 2

A lot of people ask questions asked about the conflicting attributes of Allah. For example, how can Allah be Just and Merciful at the same time? What people often believe is that, these attributes of Allah are mutually exclusive i.e. they cannot both be true at the same time.

We, as Muslims believe is that Allah is an entity who is divine, and outside the scope of logical reasoning/understanding and physical laws. The fact that Allah can possess two conflicting attributes at the same time is a proof of his divinity.

And that is what makes Allah perfect.

Answer 3

Be logical. Face it. Allah is Arabic for God. Arabic speaking Christians use the word Allah, Arabic speaking Jews use the word Allah, and Arabic speaking Muslims use the word Allah. Allah is used in the Arabic translation of the bible. You can check it out online. Or, go buy one. It's Arabic for the English word God, German/Got, Chinese/Shang di, French/Dieu, Spanish/Dios, etc., and Allah has a soft spot for sinners. Aren't you glad? He doeth what he willeth. He is God. If Allah wants to overlook your sins, Allah will. Of course, if you don't like it, Allah might be willing to listen to you and make you the exception.

Justice and mercy are not mutually exclusive. Both are spiritual attributes. Justice can be tough where mercy is tender. Whatever our language, God is One, indivisible, alone. God does what God wills. We have to realize that if God wants to call white black and black white, that's God's prerogative. If God wants to call day night and night day, that's God's prerogative. Are you going to say God can't? Our language doesn't change what God is. Since there is only one God, we can't be talking about two. That is not to say that there aren't somewhat different understandings of the one God. That's a normal phenomena and is culturally based.

What it sounds like to me, djmantx, is that you don't like the Islamic concept of the one God. You probably wouldn't like the Asian one either where I live.

Answer 4

Yes, He is perfect. All good comes out of him and all bad comes out of us or Satan.
