What is Islam? Excerpt from 'The Glorius Islaam

                                                   WHAT IS ISLAM?

Islaam teaches the purest form of Monotheism and regards polytheism as the deadliest sin. A Muslim addresses GOD by His Personal Name: ALLAAH --- the word "god" and its equivalents in other languages being unstable in the matter of connotation. 

Allaah, according to Islaam, is the One God, who is Indivisible in Person and WHO has no partner: wife, son or daughter. 
He is the Matchless and "Naught is as His likeness".

THE MEANING OF BELIEF IN ALLAAH [سبحانہ و تعا لی]
It is in HADEES - Prophet Muhammad [صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم] said,
"The Islamic Faith [Ieeman]  is to believe in ALLAAH [ سبحانہ و تعا لی ], His Angels, 

[the] meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection." 
[Bukhari Shareef].
Following Quraanic verses and Ahadees explain us about ALLAAH
[سبحانہ و تعا لی] and His attributes.

It is in Quraan –
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ .
اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ
.  لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
.  وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَد

Meaning - Say, He is the God, the one and only.  God, the eternal and absolute. He begets not, nor is he begotten.  And there is none like him.
Soorah Ikhlaas
Allah
#God-#Allaah


He is the First, the Last, the Eternal, the Infinite, the Almighty, the Omniscient, the Omnipresent. He is the Creator, the Nourisher, the Cherisher of all things. 
quran
He is the All-just, the Avenger of the wrongs done to the weak and the oppressed, the Compassionate, the Merciful and Loving, the Guide, the Friend, the Magnificent, the Glorious, the Beautiful and the True. In short, He is the Possessor of all Excellence.
Speaking of the conception of God [Allaah Almighty] in Islaam,Gibbon, the famous western historian, says:

"The Faith of Hazrat Muhammad [صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم] is free from the suspicion of Uncertainty and the Qur’aan is a glorious testimony to the unity of God. The Prophet [Hazrat Muhammad  [صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم]] of Makaah rejected the worship of idols and men, of stars and planets, on the rational principle that whatever is corruptible must decay and perish, that whatever is born must die, that whatever rises must set.

 In the Author of the universe his rational enthusiasm confessed and adored an infinite and Eternal Being, without form or place, without issue or similitude, present to our secret thoughts, existing by the necessity of His own nature, and deriving from Himself all moral and intellectual perfections. These sublime truths …are defined with metaphysical precision by the interpreters of the Qur’aan.
