One God

Allah is One God.Tawhid is the mainly important Islamic belief. Tawhid describes the oneness of Allah. Everything in existence originates from the one and only Creator, Who is the Sustains and sole Source Guidance. In Arabic the creator is Al-khaliq. This belief should direct all aspects of human life. Identification of this fundamental truth brings a unified view of life, which rejects any division into religious and secular.
Allah is the only source of Power and Authority, and is to be worshiped and obeyed. He has no another partner. This has been described in part I, which has the information about Allah.

Tawhid or one god  is clearly and pure monotheism. Allah is not born, and He has no any son or daughter. The story of Imam Abu Hanifa (ra.a) at the age of 10 explains this. When the Christians asked him what is before Allah, Imam Abu Hanifa calmly and quickly replied count backwards from 10. And so they did now. When they came to one, Imam Abu Hanifa asked what is before that. Their answer was nothing and Imam Abu Hanifa described Allah in the same way. He said Allah is one and before Him is nothing. We should always keep in mind this wonderful and amazing story for it will help us understand and explain some things that are difficult for us take in.

Allah is the One God, He is the endless, He is the First and the End, and there is none like Him. Belief in Tawhid or one god brings total change to a Muslim’s life. It makes him bow down just to Allah, who sees all of his actions; He must work to create the laws of Allah in every areas of his life, in order to gain His pleasure.
