[object Object],All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. 2010 [1] The name, proper noun for God is “ ALLAH – ٱللَّه He, most Exalted, is the Absolute One: indivisible, unique, the only Divine, without any other, before or after. If one entertains the possibility of another like “ Allah ”, then his understanding of what constitute the “ Divinity ” is flawed. PREVIOUS TOPICS

[object Object],All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. 2010 [2] “Allah” is referred to as “ As-Somad ” (in Arabic) which has a profound meaning. There is no equivalent word for it in English, and requires explanations. * the original Arabic word “ As-Somad ” means “ the Eternal, the Uncaused Cause of all being ” PREVIOUS TOPICS

[object Object],All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. 2010 ٱلصَّمَدُ “ As-Somad” is therefore applied to God Alone. It comprises the concept of the Primary Cause and Eternal, independent Being; and also the idea that everything existing or conceivable goes back to Him as its source; and is therefore dependent on Him for its beginning as well as for its continued existence. PREVIOUS TOPICS

[object Object],All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. 2010 [3] “ Allah ” – is the only “ Divine ”. Islam categorically refute any false notion which people ascribe to the “ Divine ”, especially that of God procreating (begetting another God). A “ Divine ” exists without need for any other, whereas “ son ” requires a father. These two terms together are antithetical (contradictory and absurd). PREVIOUS TOPICS

[object Object],All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. 2010 [4] Since “ Allah ” – is Unique and the only “ Divine ”, there is nothing that can be compared to Him, absolutely there can be no equivalent. Whatever we can visualize or imagine, fall short of Allah’s Exaltedness, and must negated - Glory be to Allah ( SUB-HAANALLAAH ! ). PREVIOUS TOPICS
