Allah (God) create the universe? |
| |
No one knows about the schemes

(God). He has created us for His worship and test us for our
deeds.
|

There are
so many things in the universe does Allah (God) control everything? |

Allah (God) has absolute controls over every thing. He
has Powers no one can even imagine
|

Can Allah
(God) cause this universe to cease? |
| |
Yes, Allah
(God) alone is the Owner and Master of the universe. He has absolute
Powers over everything and He alone can create or put an end to
anything or everything whenever He wants. No one can challenge
Him for anything He does.
|

Allah
(God) has created everything in this universe but who has created
Allah (God)? |

Contray
to the Charistian belief of God having a son, Muslims believe
that Allah (God) is beyond such relationships; He has no
parents, children or family. |
| |
True
| |
No
son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along
with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god
would have taken away what he had created, and some would
have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah (He
is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him!

other thing or person share Allah (God)’s powers and controls? |
| |
No, He does not need any partners
for anything. Allah (God) alone controls everything
| |
Say:
"Praise be to Allah, Who begets no son, and
has no partner in (His) dominion: nor (needs) He any to
protect Him from humiliation: Yes, magnify Him for His
greatness and glory!"

How did
then some Rusul (Messengers) of Allah (God) demonstrate miracles? |

Those
were the miracles of Allah (God), which His Rusul (Messengers)
had shown to the world. No one can share Powers of Allah
(God)
|
| 27. |
Did Allah
(God) need Rusul (Messengers) to spread His Message? |
| |
No, Allah
(God) does not need anyone for any of His needs. He is Self Sufficient.
He had created right and wrong from the beginning.
He chose His Rusul (Messengers) from various natisons to demonstrate
the right deeds and warn against the wrong ones.
|
| 28. |
Allah
(God) can never make a mistake. |
| |
True. Only He is Perfect. He is above
any mistakes or faults
|
| 29. |
Does Allah
(God) ever take a rest? |
| |
No, contrary
to the Christian belief Allah (God) does not require
any rest. He never tires and he never requires any sleep
| |
Allah!
there is no god but Allah, He is the Living the
Self-subsisting Eternal. No slumber can 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
permits? He knows what (appears to his creatures as) before
or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught
of his knowledge except as He wills. His throne does extend
over the heavens and the earth and He feels no fatigue
in guarding and preserving them. For He is the Most High
the Supreme (in glory).

2:255

How
serious a sin is to ask for help or guidance from any one else
other than Allah (God)? |
| |
The worst possible sin is to take
partners with Allah (God). He will never forgive it
| |
Verily!
Allah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners
(in worship) with Him, but he forgives whom He wills sins
other than that, and whoever sets up partners in worship
with Allah, has indeed strayed far away.
Surah
(Chapter) an-Nisa" (The Women) Qur-an 4:116
