What are the Islam teaches us ?

The foundation of the Islaamic faith is belief in absolute Monotheism (the Oneness of

God). This means to believe that there is only one Creator and Sustainer of everything in the

Universe, and that nothing is divine or worthy of being worshipped except for Him. Truly,

believing in the Oneness of God means much more than simply believing that there is “One

God” - as opposed to two, three or four. There are a number of religions that claim belief in

“One God” and believe that ultimately there is only one Creator and Sustainer of the

Universe, but true monotheism is to believe that only the One True Deity is to be worshipped

in accordance to the revelation He sent to His Messenger. Islaam also rejects the use of all

intermediaries between God and Man, and insists that people approach God directly and

reserve all worship for Him alone. Muslims believe that Almighty God is Compassionate,
Loving and Merciful.
A common misconception is the claim that God cannot forgive His creatures directly. By

over-emphasizing the burden and penalty of sin, as well as claiming that God cannot forgive

humans directly, people often despair of the Mercy of God. Once they become convinced that

they cannot approach God directly, they turn to false gods for help, such as heroes, political

leaders, saviors, saints, and angels. We often find that the people who worship, pray to, or

seek intercession from these false deities, do not consider them to be a ‘god’. They claim

belief in One Supreme God, but claim that they pray to and worship others beside God only

to get closer to Him. In Islaam, there is a clear distinction between the Creator and the

created. There is no ambiguity or mystery in issues of divinity: anything that is created does

not deserve to be worshipped; only Allaah, the Creator, is worthy of being worshipped. Some

religions falsely believe that God has become part of His creation, and this has led people to

believe that they can worship something created in order to reach their Creator
.
Muslims believe that even though God is Unique and Exalted beyond speculative

comprehension, He definitely has no partners, associates, peers, antagonists or offspring.

According to Muslim belief, Allaah “neither begets, nor was He begotten” - neither literally
,
allegorically, metaphorically, physically or metaphysically. He is Absolutely Unique and

Eternal. He is in control of everything and is perfectly capable of bestowing His infinite Mercy

and Forgiveness to whomever He chooses. That is why Allaah is also called the All-Powerful

and Most-Merciful. Allaah has created the Universe for man, and as such wants the best for

all human beings. Muslims see everything in the Universe as a sign of the Creatorship and

Benevolence of Almighty God. Also, the belief in the Oneness of Allaah is not merely a

metaphysical concept. It is a dynamic belief that affects ones view of humanity, society and

all aspects of practical life. As a logical corollary to the Islaamic belief in the Oneness of

Allaah, is its belief in the oneness of mankind and humanity.
