Divine revelation provides a clear picture of the Creator (God), glory be to Him.

The revelation from God as embodied in the Quran and the

inspired words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of

Allah be upon him) have thus presented a clear and unequivocal

presentation concerning God. It removes all doubts about His

existence, His omnipotence and His omniscience. It also answers all

the questions surrounding how one should behave toward the

Almighty. In addition to that, by God’s mercy, He has provided

extensive information about Himself, through His names and

attributes, such that He does truly become the beloved, the soul object

of worship and the main inspiration for one’s life.

In the following pages, there shall be a summary o f the

magnificent teachings about God as found in Islam. It cannot be

claimed that this summary i s anything more than the tip of the

iceberg compared to the vast amount of information that is conveyed

about God in the Quran and Sunnah.

The Belief that God is the Sole Creator and Sustainer of all

Creation : -

There is one thing that definitively stands out when one

reads the Quran: Allah instructs humankind to ponder over the

creation with all its subtleties and magnificence .

At no time do the teachings of the Quran shy away from reflection and rational thought.

Indeed, these foundations of knowledge have been invoked over and

over in the Quran as a path that will lead to only o ne conclusion:

That there is no way that this creation as one can witness and

appreciate it today could have possibly come into being except

through the intent and creation of a great, divine and masterful

creator.

In fact, in one verse, Allah has given a powerful argument

that was convincing to humankind for hundreds of years: “Were they

created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators? Or did they

create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm belief”

(52:35-36). This has been clear to many, many people: They

obviously did not come here by means of nothing nor did they create

themselves. Hence, they a re the result of the act of a Creator—a

Creator who is in himself self-subsistent and not himself a created

being.
