instead of saying, "I is."When Allah uses the term "HE" in Quran it is similar to the above

answer. The word "He" is used when referring to Allah out of respect,

dignity and high status. It would be totally inappropriate to use the

word "it" and would not convey the proper understanding of Allah being

who Allah is; Alive, Compassionate, Forgiving, Patient, Loving, etc. It is

not correct to associate the word "He" with gender, as this would be

comparing Allah to the creation, something totally against the teaching

of Quran.

12. "Is 'Allah' the same god of the Jews and Christians?"

Yes. The word in Hebrew came from "El" and in Arabic from "Elh". The

word for "god" (note the small 'g' in English) is "Elah". Compare this to

"Eloi" and "Eli" in the New Testament.

The word "Allah" is the perfect word to describe the God of Jews and

Christians as it does not permit gender nor plural. Therefore, when the

word is used as in "Eloihim" or "Allahumma" (these would appear at

first to be plural and/or female genders) it becomes clear it is the royal

usage such as a king would use in referring to his royal station while

make a decree of some type. The king would state, "We decree the

following..." and he is actually talking about his royal position rather

than plural status.

There is no word in English for the "God" of Israel, the "God" of Jesus.

This explains why the spelling remains the same whether speaking of a

false "god" or page idol and the "God" of Abraham or Moses or Jesus

(peace be upon them). Note the use of the capitol "g" (G). This is the

only way English can present a difference between the two. In the

semitic languages it is easy to distinguish the difference between a

"god" and "The God" due to the structure of the word itself.

Evidence for this is quite simple. Visit any motel or hotel and remove the

Bible located in the drawer next to the bed (placed they courtesy of the

Giddeon Society). Note inside the first few pages a reference to the

translations of the Bible they have made into 27 languages. The second

example they give is to the Arabic language of the passage in the New

Testament from the Gospel of John 3:16. The verse begins in English;

"For God so loved the world.." and in the Arabic translation the wordused for "God" is "Allah."

The Arabic Bible beginning with the Book of Genesis uses the word

"Allah" to represent "The God" of Creation; Adam and Eve; Noah;

Abraham; Ishmael and Issac and Israel. Page one of Genesis has the

word "Allah" 17 times.

13. "Is Allah going to treat Jews and Christians the same as Muslims?"

Answer:

Yes. Actually, the Jews and Christians who believed in Allah as One God

and obey the commandments sent with their particular messenger

(such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus, etc.) are mentioned many times in

Quran:

These are the Verses of Allah: We recite them to you (O Muhammad peace be upon him) in truth,

and Allah wills no injustice to the Alamin (mankind and jinns). 3:108

And to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And all matters go

back (for decision) to Allah. 3:109

You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad, peace be

upon him and commandments with him] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you

enjoin Al-Maruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar

(polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allah. And had the

people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them;

among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fasiqun (disobedient to Allah -

and rebellious against Allah's Command). 3:110

Whoever believes in Allah, as One God and is trying their best to follow

the most recent of the prophets, peace be upon them all, could well be a

Muslim (submitter to the Will of Allah) and as such, it is up to Allah to

be their Judge, just as He is the Judge in all matters.

Allah

Answer:

Yes. Allah has sent down miracles, revelations and messengers to give clear proofs He exists and more important, what we should do once we come to this realization.

Allah has sent prophets and messengers with many proofs throughout the ages for people to be able to clearly see with their own eyes and to be able to use their own senses the miracles and proofs pointing to the fact, Allah does in fact, exist.

Miracles of prophets and messengers of Allah have come to people through the ages. Moses, peace be upon him, showed many miracles to pharoah and to the children of Israel. Plagues, locusts, water turning to blood, his stick becoming a snake, the voice in the burning bush and the parting of the Red Sea were are clear miracles for the people of Moses time.

Again, Allah sent Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him, with clear miracles for the people of his time. Speaking from the cradle while still a new born infant, creating birds from clay, curing the sick, giving sight to the blind and even bringing a dead man back to life, were all clear signs to the people to know Jesus, peace be upon him, was a messenger of Allah as was Moses before him.

Muhammad, peace be upon him, was the last and final messenger of Allah, and he was sent to all of mankind. Allah sent him with a number of miracles, not the least of which was the Quran. The predictions and propheies of Muhammad, peace be upon him, have come true even in this century and the Quran has been used to convince even scientists of the existence of Allah.

[Please visit "Science Proves Allah": Watch video of famous scientists admit Quran is from Allah and even accept Islam]

The Quran is the best of proofs for the existence of Allah and today over one and half billion people memorize and rectie from the exact text, in the exact same language it was revealed in; Arabic. More than 10 million Muslims have completely memorized the entire Quran from cover to cover, and can recite it from memory without looking at it.

No one sees or hears Allah, not even the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Nor are we able to use our senses to make some kind of contact with Him. However, we are encouraged in Islam to use our senses and our common sense to recognize all of this universe could not possibly come into existence on its own. Something had to design it all and then put it into motion. This is beyond our ability to do, yet it is something we can understand.

We know from the teachings of Muhammad, peace be upon him, the proofs for the existence of God (Allah) are most obvious to us in our everyday surroundings. Anyone with understanding would quickly acknowledge His existence provided they are not so stubborn as to ignore the obvious

evidencers in front right in front of us.

We don't have to see an artist to recognize a painting, correct? So, if we see paintings without seeing artists painting them, in the same way, we can believe Allah created everything without having to see Him (or touch, or hear, etc.).

2. "How can we prove there is a God?"

Answer:

Note: "Proving" God exists is really not our purpose. We are only interested in providing clear statements based on facts and logic and then allow the individual decide for themselves who they would like to believe. There have always been people who believed in the existance of God and there have always been those who have denied in His existance. We must realize there are those who will never believe no matter how much proof or evidence we produce. The reason is some people don't want to believe in a Creator or Sustainer. They would not like to consider one day they will have to answer for their actions and for their refusal to acknowledge their Benefactor to whom they owe their very existance. We come to know it is not so much a matter of us trying to convey our beliefs as it is for them to set aside preconceived perjudices against proper belief. Meaning: this is really a matter of guidance from Above. If they refuse even with evident proofs in front of them, this is not between us and them; it is between them and their Creator. Again, it is not our job to "prove" anything to anyone. We only need to present the facts in truth and allow the listener to make up their own mind.

We just begin with simple logic. When something is right in front of our eyes it is difficult to deny it, right? Asking rhetorical questions can be very helpful in presenting our case. Begin by asking the question; "Can you prove you exist?" Yes, of course you can. You merely use your senses to determine what you can see, hear, feel, smell, taste and you have emotions as well. All of this is a part of your existence. But this is not how we perceive God in Islam. We can look to the things He has created and the way He cares for things and sustains us, to know there is no doubt of His existence.

One approach is to suggest simple yet convincing experiements anyone could comprehend. For instance, say to someone, "Consider this the next time you are looking up at the moon or the stars on a clear night; could you drop a drinking glass on the sidewalk and expect it would hit the ground and on impact it would not shatter, but it would divide up into little small drinking glasses, with iced tea in them? Of course not."

Another example is have them consider what might happen if a tornado came through a junkyard and tore through the old cars; would it leave behind a nice new Mercedes with the engine running and no parts left around? Naturally not.

Or ask someone to consider what it would be like if someone told us about a fast food restaurant operating itself without any people there? The food just cooks itself, flys from the kitchen to the table and then when we are done, the dishes jump back the kitchen to wash themselves. This is too crazy for anyone to even think about.

After reflecting on all of the above, how could we look to the universe above us through a telescope or observe the molecules in a microscope and then think all of this came about as a result of a "big bang" or some "accident?"

(see also "Quran")

3. "Where is God?"

*************************************************************

3. "Where is God?"

Answer:

Some other religions teach "God is everywhere." This is actually called "pantheism" and it is the opposite of our believe system in Islam. Allah tells us clearly there is nothing, anywhere in the universe like Him similar to his likeness, nor is He ever in His creation.

He tells us in the Quran He created the universe in six "yawm" (periods of time) and then He "astawah 'ala al Arsh" (rose up, above His Throne). He is there (above His Throne) and will remain there until the End Times.

Allah has such complete Knowledge as to be able to Know all things past, present and future in all places at exactly the same time. The same can be said for His absolute Hearing and Seeing. In this way, His Knowledge, His Hearing, His Sight are everywhere simultaneously.

In this regard, the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, told us He is as close to us as our jugular vein. He also explained Allah "with us" when we are in sincere worship to Him and in times of need. Naturally, this would not compromise His existance outside of His creation.

The Quran offers us a more detailed understanding of Where (and Who) Allah is.

7 - Al-A'raf. Verse 54

Certainly your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six yaum (days or periods of time), and then He Istawa (rose above) His Throne. He He brings the night as a
