What should be the belief of Muslims about Allah?
It should be the firm belief of Muslims that Allah is
One; He has no partner whatsoever; He alone is worthy of worship; neither He
begot nor He is begotten and none is comparable or equal to Him in any way.
Allah possesses every kind of superiority and every attribute of
perfection and no defect and deficient attribute whatsoever exists in Him.
He is all free and independent and all the worlds are subservient to
Him.
He is ”Eternal in the beginning and Eternal in the end” when there
was nothing He was and when there will be nothing He will be. His attributes
are also eternal like His ”Eternal Person”
He is ”Haie-yu Qaie-yoom”. He is eternally immortal and keeps His
creatures alive. He gives life and causes death as and when He wills.
He is ”Qadeer” i.e. All Powerful (Omnipotent) and has absolute
dominion over everything. He does what He wills. There is
none to dominate Him.
He is Samee’ (All Hearing). He hears voice of His every creature
even the sound of creeping of an ant and of the movement of wings of a
mosquito.
He is ”Baseer” (All Seeing). He sees everything regardless of
big or small, near or distant and in light or in dark. Nothing is hidden
from Him.
He is ‘Aleem (All Knowing, Omniscient). He knows each and everything
irrespective of what is happening, what has happened and what will happen. He
knows our words, deeds, intentions and what is hidden in our breast. Even
the tiniest particle of dust is not beyond His
Omniscience.
All men and matter are subservient to His will. Each and
everything happens according to His will and nothing takes place against His
will. Even no bird can fly and particle of sand move without His will.
He alone is the Creator of everything. What we do is all the creation
of Allah. He is the Sole Creator of all the worlds and of whatever they
contain irrespective of big or small. If He wills to create anything He
simply says “Kun” (be) and that immediately comes into being.
He is “Razzaaq” (Provider of Subsistence). He provides subsistence,
livelihood and all necessary things to His creatures regardless of mankind
and animals and big or small to sustain them, He alone is the Sovereign Lord of
all the universe.
He also speaks. All the revealed books including the Glorious Quraan are his “Kalaam” (speech, words).
With which thing(s) does Allah Almighty see and hear?
The attributes of Allah are as much unique and subtle as He is Himself. Undoubtedly, He sees, hears and speaks but unlike humanbeings since He is free of the organs of sight, hearing and speech and so is His “Kalaam” which does not need letters and sounds.
Who is the Creator, Controller, Maintainer and Owner of the whole world?
He is One Allah. He alone is the Supreme Creator of everything irrespective of mankind (all creatures) and their actions.
He creates actions (to be done till the end of time) with His Wisdom and Command.
We are His mere servants. Our entity and everything belongs to Him.
Does Allah Almighty need any cause or interest for His doings?
Each and every action of Allah Almighty carries numerous “Hikmah” (hidden causes,uses,blessings and favours) which are known only to Him. His doings need no cause or interest i.e. are not intended to be useful to Him. His created things are causes for one another.
Salvation depends on the fact that every single belief of the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah be so firm that one will remain firm even if the sky and the earth vanishes.One must have great fear for his belief at all times.
When I want to talk to Allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
