About God

The Quran mentions two names for God that are closely related linguistically.  The first is al-Hakeem (the Wise) and the second is al-Haakim (the Judge).  God is referred to in the Quran as “the Wise” 93 times and as “the Judge” six times. For instance, God says: “Indeed You are the All-Knowing, the Wise.” (Quran […]

The Preserved Tablet (Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz) The Pen, which was created 50,000 years before the heavens and the earth, wrote in what’s known as al-Lawh al-Mahfuz, the Preserved Tablet.  God calls it al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz because it’s protected from any changes and is also protected from access.  Everything is within that Book, even, as God tells us, a leaf falling

God Created Everything So how did it all start?  God.  Nothing else.  The Prophet of Islam, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, was asked, “O Messenger of God, where was our Lord before He created His creation?” He said: “Nothing existed but Him, with nothing beneath Him and nothing above Him.”[1]

This name of God is found in the following verse of the Quran: “Ask forgiveness of Him, and turn to Him (in repentance): for my Lord is Near, the Answerer (of prayers).” (Quran 11:61) God answers the prayers of those who beseech Him.

God says: “He is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, and He is the Knower of all things.” (Quran 57:3) God precedes all things; He has no beginning.  He abides after all things without ever coming to an end. Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, said,

Everything in our limited experience must have a beginning and end.  We ourselves are born and we ultimately die.  This is the case with our parents and forefathers as well as with our children and descendants.  Such relationships permeate creation. Some people, due to intellectual weakness or simplicity, assume that everything must be comparable to

In 1966 Time magazine ran a cover story asking: Is God Dead? Many have accepted the cultural narrative that he’s obsolete—that as science progresses, there is less need for a “God” to explain the universe.  Yet it turns out that the rumors of God’s death were premature.  More amazing is that the relatively recent case
