- Islam is a monotheistic religion with over 1 billion followers that believes in one God (Allah) and that Muhammad was his final prophet.
- The Quran and hadith define Islamic theology, holding that Allah is one and indivisible, eternal and absolute, begets not nor was begotten, and there is none comparable to Him.

It also explains why Muslims use the word "Allah" instead of "God" to represent the supreme creator.
This document provides a summary of a lesson on the Islamic concept of Ihsan (righteousness) presented by Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. The lesson defines Ihsan as worshipping Allah as though you see Him, though you do not see Him but He sees you. The lesson emphasizes that intentions behind deeds are most important in Islam. Righteous acts must be done with sincerity, solely for the sake of Allah, seeking His pleasure. Without striving for Tauheed (oneness of God), one risks taking their desires or ego as God. The Prophet warned that even small acts done to please Satan instead of Allah displease Him.

This document discusses the Islamic concept of God, known as Allah in Arabic. It explains that Allah is the unique personal name of God in Islam, with no plural or gender form. The three main points are:
1) Allah is the one and only God, the creator and sustainer of the universe. He is unlike any creation and nothing can be compared to Him.
2) Some of Allah's key attributes are that He is the most loving and kind, as well as just. He will punish evildoers but is overwhelmingly merciful.
3) True faith and worship in Islam involves believing in Allah as the one true God and abstaining from worshipping anything else. Remembrance of
The document provides an explanation of the meaning of the testimony of faith in Islam. It begins by stating that the testimony of faith ("There is no god but Allah") is the foundation of Islam and differentiates a Muslim from a non-Muslim. It then explains the two components of the testimony - denial of all divinity besides Allah, and affirmation that Allah alone deserves worship. Several divine attributes of Allah that make Him the only deity worthy of worship are described. The testimony of faith also requires believing that Muhammad is the final prophet, taking believers as friends and disavowing non-believers. Confessing the testimony must be accompanied by knowledge, certainty, acceptance and following its requirements sincerely.

This document discusses various Islamic practices and concepts. It begins by summarizing the five pillars of Islam - prayer, fasting, pilgrimage, charity, and the religious tax. It then discusses the remaining five practices - jihad, commanding good and forbidding evil, love of faith and disassociation from enemies. It defines jihad as having both a major spiritual component and a minor armed defensive component. It emphasizes that Islam promotes establishing peace and preventing evil in society through the principles of "enjoining good and forbidding wrong".
The document discusses proofs for the appointment of Imams by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It discusses four main hadiths and narratives as evidence:
1) The hadith of Thaqalayn which says to follow both the Quran and the Prophet's descendants.
2) The hadith of Safinah which compares the Prophet's household to Noah's Ark, saying those who follow them will be saved.
3) The verse of wilayah which discusses obeying Allah, the Prophet and believers, referring to Imam Ali when revealed.
4) The important hadith of Ghadir Khumm which the document says it will discuss in more detail
This document is part 5 of an introduction to Islam by Sayed Muhammad Husaini Raqeb from Qom, Iran in 2015. It discusses the eternal need for God and that God occupies no space. It argues that all creation needs God at every moment to continue existing, and if God ceased to will its existence, it would cease to be. It also explains that God's influence is not localized to any place, as He is not dependent on what He created like material things are. The document concludes that the Creator of the world has no location.
This document is a transcript from a lecture on Islam. It discusses ways of knowing God, including the inner or innate way. The inner way refers to believing in God through introspection and one's innate sense. The lecture gives an example of an atheist who, when stranded at sea in desperation, found a glimmer of hope in an unknown power, which the Imam said was God. The lecture prompts the audience to consider what the "outer way" of knowing God might be before concluding.

Allah, the

Merciful

2. After speaking about the oneness of God,
let’s start the topic of God’s attributes, but
we won’t go deep into this topic and we
only speak shortly about God’s attributes in
order to get familiar with the Muslim’s
beliefs regarding this issue.
3. Sifāt: the Attributes of God
There are many attributes which are a must for
God, while there are others which are beneath
His dignity and, therefore, cannot be found in
Him.
The attributes of God, therefore, have been
grouped into “positive” and “negative”: the
former reflects the attributes that exist in Him,
where as the latter reflects the attributes that
cannot be found in Him. The positive attributes
of God are known asas-sifāt ath-thubutiyyah;
whereas the attributes that cannot be found in
God are known as as-sifāt as-salbiyyah.
4. (A) The Positive Attributes
(As-Sifāt Ath-Thubutiyyah)
There are many attributes which are befitting Allāh
(s.w) but only eight are usually mentioned because of
their importance.
1. Eternal (al-Qadīm): God has neither a beginning
nor an end.
2. Omnipotent (al-Qādir): God is Omnipotent; He
has power over every thing and every affair.
3. Omniscient (al-`Alīm): God is Omniscient; He
knows every thing. Even our unspoken intentions
and unexpressed desires are not hidden from Him.
5. 4. Living (al-Hayy): God is always Alive and will remain
Alive for ever.
5. Will Power (al-Murīd): God has His own will and
discretion in all affairs. He does not do anything under
compulsion.
6. All-Perceiving (al-Mudrik): God is All-Hearing and
All-Seeing; He can see and hear everything without any
need of eyes and ears.
7. Master of Speech (al-Mutakallim): God can create
speech in anything; as He did in a tree for Prophet Musa
(a.s.) and in the curtain of light for our holy Prophet
(a.s.).
8. Truthful (as-Sādiq): God is always true in His words
and promises.
6. It is impossible to fix any limit to the
attributes of God. This list is not
exhaustive but is essential to
understand the glory of Allāh. These
attributes are not acquired but are
inherent in the concept of Divinity.
7. (B) The Negative Attributes
(As-Sifāt As-Salbiyyah)
The term “negative attributes” means those
attributes which cannot be found in God
because they are incompatible with the
concept of Divinity. Similar to the positive
attributes, the negatives attributes are also
many but only eight are normally listed
because of their importance.
The eight as-sifāt as-salbiyyah are as follows:
8. 1. Partner (as-Sharīk): God has no partner or colleague.
2. Compound (al-Murakkab): God is neither made nor
composed of any material. He cannot be divided even in
imagination.
3. Place (al-Makān): God has neither a center nor a place
because He has no body; and He is everywhere because
His power and knowledge is magnificently apparent
everywhere.
4. Incarnation (al-Hulūl): God does not enter into
anything or any person, nor does anything enter Him.
Therefore, the belief in incarnation is incompatible with
the concept of Divinity.
9. 5. Change (Mahall-e Hawādith): God is not subject to
change.
6. Visible (al-Mar'i): God is not visible; He has not been
seen, is not
seen, and will never be seen.
7. Need (Ihtiyāj): God is not deficient in any virtue, so He
does not
need anything. He is free from want.
8. `Acquired Attribute' (Sifat-e Zā'id): The attributes of
Allāh are not separate from His person. When we say
that God is Omnipotent and Merciful, we do not mean
that his power and mercy are something different from
His person.
10. To understand the concept of `additional quality' or
`acquired attribute' more clearly, pay attention to the
following two sentences: “Tea is sweet” and “Sugar is
sweet”. In the first example, sweetness is an additional
quality for tea; the tea was not sweet when it was made, it
became sweet after sugar was added to it. But in the
second example, sweetness is an essential quality not an
added quality for sugar; the sugar was sweet from the day
it became a sugar; a “sugar” which is not sweet is not
sugar at all. The positive attributes of God are like
sweetness to sugar; they are not additional to the person
of God. Power, mercy, knowledge, justice, virtue, truth,
etc. were never separate from His person.
11. Adl “Divine Justice"
After getting familiar with some of
God’s attributes, let’s go forward with
one of the most important attributes
of God which was listed in the last
session as one of the five pillars or
principles of Islam.
12. Adl or justice is essentially a part of Tawheed. The belief that
God is Just is one of the important elements of the Muslim faith.
The basis of this belief is that any kind of oppression and
injustice is denied from God, where we read in the Holy Qur’an:
(ْلِعْال وُلوُأَو َُةكِئ ََلَمْالَو َوُه هَلِإ َهََٰلِإ ََل ُههنَأ ُ هاَّلل َدَِهشَوُه هَلِإ َهََٰلِإ ََل ِِِِْْْئلِِ ئامِئئََ ِمَعْالُميِكَحْال ُيز ِز)
}Aal-E-Imran 18}
Allah witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and
[so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He
is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity
except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
13. Or in the other verses:
(ۖ ٍةهرَذ َلئَِْثِم ُمِلْظَي ََل َ هاَّلل هنِإ).....
{An-Nisa 40}
Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an
atom's weight;
(ْنَأ َئسهنال هنِكََٰلَو ئائْيَش َئسهنال ُمِلْظَي ََل َ هاَّلل هنِإَونُمِلْظَي ْمُهَُْف)
{Yunus 44}
Indeed, Allah does not wrong the people at all, but it is the
people who are wronging themselves.
14. Logical & rational argument
Beside these verses, the intellect also confirms
clearly that any kind of oppression and
injustice is denied from God, because the
Justice is an attribute of perfection and
integrity and oppression and injustice is an
attribute of defect and imperfection, and the
human intellect adjudicates that God has all
the perfections and no defection and
incompetence have any way to His Essence
and Deeds.
15. Basically the oppression is the effect of either
of these causes:
1. The oppressor doesn’t know the badness of oppression.
It goes back to Ignorance(denied)
2.The oppressor knows the badness of oppression but he is
incapable of acting according to justice or needs that
oppression.
It goes back to Need & Incapability(denied)
3.The oppressor knows the badness of oppression and he is
capable of acting according to justice but because he is not
wise, it’s not important for him to commit improper deeds.
It goes back to Ignorance (denied)
16. Conclusion
None of the aforementioned
attributes is imaginable and
imputable to God’s Essence and
Nature, so all God’s Deeds are
according to Justice.
17. Note
In these two sessions we spoke about the oneness of
Allah(s.w) as the first and the Justice as the second pillar
of Islam and we have to have in mind that these series of
lessons are only an introduction to Islam and that we can’t
go deep into the topics and expand each of them for
several sessions.
So due to the lack of time and that we need to get familiar
with other Islamic beliefs in the next coming sessions, we
hope that the viewers of these episodes will go forward and
study about each of these beliefs in the Islamic resources
available on the net like:
