The Qur'an states that "Allah created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six days" (7:54). While on the surface this might seem similar to the account related in the Bible, there are some important distinctions. The verses that mention "six days" use the Arabic word "youm" (day).
Muslims believe that God is the only true reality and sole source of all creation, everything including its creatures are just a derivative reality created out of love and mercy by God's command, "..."Be," and it is." and that the purpose of existence is to worship or to know God.
Islam. In Islam, Allah is the unique, omnipotent and only deity and creator of the universe and is equivalent to God in other Abrahamic religions.
(39:62) Allah is the Creator of everything; He is the Guardian over everything. 73. That is, He did not just create the world and then left it alone, but He is constantly guarding and watching over everything.
Allah created the water, the air, the heavens, the earth, the trees, the mountains, the valleys, the animals and even the small insects–before he created man. Allah created all these kinds of creations in six days. Each day was like one thousand (1,000) years.
Allah states that He created the universe, the heavens and earth and all that is in, on and between them in six days, as He has stated in several Ayat in the Qur'an.
The Prophet said, "The keys of the unseen are five and none knows them but Allah: (1) None knows what is in the womb, but Allah: (2) None knows what will happen tomorrow, but Allah; (3) None knows when it will rain, but Allah; (4) None knows where he will die, but Allah (knows that); (5) and none knows when the Hour ...
[2.284] Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah's; and whether you manifest what is in your minds or hide it, Allah will call you to account according to it; then He will forgive whom He pleases and chastise whom He pleases, and Allah has power over all things.
A verse referring to this order reads,”...so that you might know that Allah has power over all things and that Allah encompasses all things in His knowledge.” (Qur'an, 65:12) Faced with the sublimity of the details of this order, man becomes in awe, recognizing that Allah's wisdom, knowledge and might is infinite.
In the above verse, Allah is called “As-Samad,” which is rendered by the famous Qur'an translator, Muhammad Asad, as “the Eternal Uncaused Cause of All Being.” The term “as-Samad” is used in the Qur'an only once, and it stands for an independent and eternal Creator who originated everything and on whom everything ...
In Islam, Allah is not depicted as male or female — Allah has no gender. Yet Allah has traditionally been referred to, and imagined by many, as a man. Some Muslim women have begun to refer to Allah with feminine or gender neutral pronouns.
Allah is usually thought to mean “the god” (al-ilah) in Arabic and is probably cognate with rather than derived from the Aramaic Alaha. All Muslims and most Christians acknowledge that they believe in the same god even though their understandings differ.
Allah, Arabic Allāh (“God”), the one and only God in Islam. Etymologically, the name Allah is probably a contraction of the Arabic al-Ilāh, “the God.” The name's origin can be traced to the earliest Semitic writings in which the word for god was il, el, or eloah, the latter two used in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament).
“There is absolutely nothing like Allah whatsoever, and He has the attributes of Hearing and Seeing.” This ayah absolutely clears Allah of resembling the creations. It comprises that Allah, ta^ala, is absolutely different from the creations in the Self, Attributes, and Actions.
Nothing is hidden from His watch. The sins that we commit in the dark, the words that we speak, the wrong we do to others, all is being noticed by Him. Unless we seek forgiveness for our errors and mend our ways, we cannot escape His punishment.
Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala is both the All-Knowing and the All-Wise—He possesses all the knowledge, and as an-Nabulsi states, He “does the proper thing in the proper way in the proper place and the proper time.”
Allah, there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. He will certainly gather ˹all of˺ you together on the Day of Judgment—about which there is no doubt. And whose word is more truthful than Allah's? He is God.
Therefore, Allah is simply the Arabic name for God, which affirms that He is One singular God with no partners or equals. The name Allah cannot be pluralized or limited to a specific gender, which establishes that God is One and that He is unique from everything He creates.
