--The Prophet Muhammad (p) was asked by his contemporaries about Allah. The answer came nowadays from God Himself in the form of a short chapter of the Quran that is considered the essence of the iodin of God or the motto of monotheism. Say He is Allah, the champion Allah, the Eternal, authoritative He begetteth not, nor is He begotten, and in that location is none like unto Him. Al-Quran 1121-4--Having achieved this knowledge of the One True God, man should constantly have faith in Him, and should put up nothing to induce him to deny the truth. When true faith enters a mortals heart, it impacts the persons outlook and behavior. The Prophet said, Faith is that which resides hard in the heart and which is proved by whole kit and boodle. One of the smasher results of faith is the hint of gratitude towards God, which could be said to be the essence of Ibada (worship). The feeling of gratitude is so important that anyone denying the Truth is called kafir, one who is un pleasur able. A believer loves, and is grateful to God for the bounties He bestowed upon him. He is aware of the fact that his good deeds are far from being commensurate with Divine favors, and therefore he is always anxious to please God. He remembers God often. The Quran promotes this feeling of gratitude by repeating the attributes of God very frequently. Allah is He, than Whom there is no other perfection Who knows (all things) both secret and open He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the restorer of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme Glory to Allah (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colors). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names whatever is in the empyrean and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise . Al-Quran 5922-24Allah There is no god but He, the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber give notice seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them.
