Preface

"ALLAH", the Name itself witnesses with all its Glory and Majesty that "He" is the Only One True Godthe Creator and the Sustainer of the worlds.

History provides us the evidence that the Messengers of ALLAH were sent to every nation. It was never the intention of the Almighty to differentiate people based on the Messengers and messages. The Holy Quran throws light on this fact and says (2:213) "(All) people are a single nation; so ALLAH raised Prophets as bearers of good tidings and as Warners, and revealed therewith the Scripture with the truth that it might judge between mankind concerning that wherein they differed".

The spirit of all messages and missions of every Messenger has always been the sameshowing the right path. We know that several Prophets were sent to various nations with messages in their own languages to create familiarity and understanding with the addressee. Such as Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and lastly Muhammad (Peace and mercy of ALLAH be upon them) were sent to accomplish this prestigious Divine mission.

Although their languages in which messages were conveyed were different, the Name of One True God ALLAH is found to be the same and intact in spite of various linguistic mutations.

It is amazing to note that most of the Beautiful Names of ALLAH mentioned in the Quran and Hadith are also found in the Bible.

Thus, from the above scenario it is a comprehensible reality that since beginning of times all the Prophets proclaimed the Name of One True God as ALLAH with other Beautiful Attributes.

Whether He was called as the Gracious and the Merciful, the Sovereign and the Holy One, the Exalted in might and the Irresistible, the Supreme and the Most High, the Creator and the Evolver, all these Beautiful Names are still

8

existent in the Bible indicating the commonality of belief in the Sacred Names of ALLAH.

Thus, to quench the thirst of spirituality, humanity can unite itself by virtue of its common beliefs and values as "Essentials" such as worshipping One True God- ALLAH with His Beautiful attributes.

The Second Vatican Council, Nostra Aetate (In 3, October 28, 1965), whole-heartedly envisaged, "The Church has also a high regard for the Muslims. They worship God, Who is One, Living and Subsistent, Merciful and Almighty, the Creator of the heaven and the earth, Who has spoken to men. They strive to submit themselves without reserve to the hidden decrees of God, just as Abraham submitted himself to God's plan, to whose faith Muslims eagerly link their own. Although not acknowledging him as God, they venerate Jesus as a prophet, his Virgin Mother they also honour, and even at times devoutly invoke. Further, they await the Day of Judgment and the reward of God following the resurrection of the dead. For this reason they highly esteem an upright life and worship God, especially by way of prayer, alms-deeds and fasting."

Thus, Islam gives the complete and irrevocable message of Monotheism and oneness of humankind in common beliefs and values as stressed by the Holy Quran in (3:64) "Say (O Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon him): O People of the Scripture! Come to an agreement between Us and you: that we shall worship none but ALLAH, and that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside ALLAH. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (who have surrendered to ALLAH)."

Thus, if ever humanity in the course of history gains the pleasure of worshiping ALLAH, then one can achieve it only through this path - the path of total submission to ALLAH, the One True God.

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE BENEFICENT, THE MERCIFUL

ALLAH

The Everliving One True God, The Cherisher and the Sustainer of all the worlds

/ / mentioned in the Arabic Holy Quran and also found in Hebrew-OT, almost 2526

times and in Aramaic-NT nearly 1320 times.

ALLAH-the Name of One True God is unique with all the languages of humanity, wherein it was never applied to any being other than the One True God the Self-Subsisting One, from Whom all things subsist.

Encyclopaedia Britannica1 defines ALLAH as the "Standard Arabic word for God, used by Arab Christians as well as by Muslims. According to the Quran, ALLAH is the Creator and judge of humankind, Omnipotent, Compassionate, and Merciful. The Muslim profession of faith affirms that there is no deity but God and emphasizes that He is inherently One: nothing is like unto Him. Everything that happens occurs by His commandment; submission to God is the basis of Islam. The Quran and the Hadith contain the 99 "Most Beautiful Names" of God, including the One and Only, the Living One, the Real Truth, the Hearer, the Seer, the Benefactor, and the Constant Forgiver."

The BBC World service2 admits the reality that the Quran is the actual word of God and contains the fundamental beliefs of Islam.

It is interesting to note that ALLAH is the personal name of One True God in all the languages of all the Major Prophets like Moses, David, Jesus, and Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon them).

As the Almighty ALLAH says in Quran (14:4) "Never did We send a Messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people in order to make (things) clear to them." Thus, all the Divine Scriptures were revealed to the Messengers of ALLAH in the language of their own people, but the Name of One True God remained same as ALLAH.

Advantages of Semitic languages

The Semitic languages are considered as the richest languages of the world; they have a variety of commonalities with respect to phonetics, meanings, and grammar. In addition, one of its advantages is that the consonant written once can be pronounced twice when the consonant follows vowels. Among these languages, Arabic occupies the top position on the merits of its originality and communication power, even in the present age. The Aramaic and Hebrew languages have undergone many a linguistic mutations, whereas the Divine language of Arabic has lost neither its pronunciation nor its connotation on accounts of its versatility and adaptability.

ALLAH, the Name of One True God is written in Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic as / / respectively. Here, we find that in Hebrew and Aramaic languages it uses only one "lam" for the name of One True God, because this one "lam" is pronounced twice. The reason for pronouncing consonants twice in Hebrew has been rightly explained by the Encyclopaedia of Wiki, as "A long

11

consonant that follows a checked vowel would have two peaks of intensity, whereas other long consonants would have only one. Therefore, these double-peaked long consonants are called geminates."3 Although the word may have double consonant pronunciation, it is written only once.

Since the ancient Hebrew did not use any vowel markings like ancient Arabic, the actual pronunciation of the sacred Name is simply misspelled. Thus, for that reason the Name of One True God in Arabic is written with Alif-lam-lam-ha as ( ), providing an evidence that ALLAH Himself protected its grandeur, viability and pronunciation forever to set aside any linguistic mutation, whatsoever, which may creep in by passage of time.

Evidently, we can cogently deduce from the above facts that the Messenger of ALLAH, Muhammad (Peace be upon him) has rightly ordered to inscribe in his sacred seal, ALLAH ( ) by the usage of "lam" twice to educate us to follow the correct and authentic phonetic expression for the name of One True God- ALLAH (Mighty and Sublime be He).

ALLAH is presently pronounced in Hebrew as Eloh and Elah

"Judaism teaches that while Gods name exists in written form, it is too holy to be pronounced. The result has been that, over the last 2000 years, the correct pronunciation has been lost."4 Subsequently, the Hebrew people lost the correct pronunciation of the Holy Name of God resulting in pronouncing ALLAH as ELOH or ELAH.

The Book of Moses and David (Peace be upon them) Torah and Psalms respectively uses the basic Proper

http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Intensity

12

Noun " " ALAH for One True God, and if the consonant "lamed" is doubled then it could be rightly pronounced as ALLAH. All the Semitic languages like Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic allows the consonants to be doubled with a grammatical reasons.5 In Hebrew "Dagesh forte is a dot that can be placed in any letter, except for gutturals letter (Aleph, Chet, Ayin) and Resh, to show that the letter is doubled."6 Therefore, evidently we can affirm that the consonant "lamed" can be doubled when used for the Holy Name of ALLAH.

Structural formation of Elohim

The Ancient form of the word ALAH+iym (or ELOH+iym) is written as " + " without using any vowel. However, later after the introduction of vowels in Hebrew, this word was added with a vowel "chataf segol and chirik" in the present OT which makes the present readers to pronounce it as Eloh-iym rather than ALAH-iym. To be noted " " - ALAH is the First Name for God given in the Tanakh.

See Genesis (1:1) without vowel signs if consonant lamed is doubled it can be read as

Re'shiyth 'ALLAH iym bara' shamayimeh'-rets

This with vowels is read as Re'shiyth 'Eloh-iymbara' shamayimeh'-rets. However, in Arabic version you can even find Eloh-iym translated as ALLAH, because of the fact that structural formation of Elohim is from ALAH-iym.

Fee al-badi' khalaqa Allahu as-Samaawaat wa al-ard: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=07225http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=0430http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=01254http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=08064http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=0776

It is worthy to note that the Torah has no vowels as the Hebrew alphabets do not have any. Hebrew speakers can read Hebrew without the dots. Hence, the entire Torah, Prophets and Writings, the Mishna and Talmud and all the classic commentaries were written without any vowels.7

Hence, in times of Moses and David (Peace be upon them) Eloh+iym was written as" + " which could even be read as ALAH-iym or ALLAH-iym-ma if consonant "lamed" and "final meem" is doubled.

In Semitic, languages like in Arabic there are two types of pronouns. (i) Personal pronouns written separately and (ii) Pronominal suffix always attached to nouns, verbs and particles.

Thus, ALLAH-humma " + " in Arabic is a combination of Noun and pronominal suffix hm (i.e., ha-meem). This similar formula can also be considered for Eloh-iym as an amalgamation of Noun and pronoun, where" " ELOH (ALAH) is a Noun and " iym is a pronominal suffix which is attached to-"the Noun as "the Hebrew Scriptures were originally written in the form of continuous strings of letters, with no breaks between the words". 8

However, in Old Testament the Hebrew words ending with "iym" are sometimes used for the expression of majesty or excellence, expressing high dignity or greatness.9

Here, -ELOH (ALAH) is such a Majestic singular Noun that if we add it to "Yod-final Meem" or suffix "s" it will never be plural in the sense when it is followed by a singular verb where this is used to represent One True God even though this word may be plural in grammatical sense. Prof. C. L. Seow10 elucidates, "When ELOHIM is used as a proper name,

14

or when referring to Israel's God, it is treated as singular".

Further, Ethelyn Simon11 confirmed this fact "When ELOHIM refers to the One True God, singular verbs and pronouns are used. When the One True God reaches out to include others in His activities, plural verbs and pronouns are used. These do not indicate any plurality of gods or that the true God is more than one. When [ELOHIM] refers to the God of Israel it is always singular in concept, even though it has a masculine plural ending".

The word for "O God" is ALLAH-humma in Arabic written with these Alphabets Alif-lam-lam-ha-meem

( + ). Such as in the Holy Quran "Jesus, son of Mary, said: O ALLAH (ALLAH-humma), Lord of us! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and a sign from Thee. Give us sustenance, for Thou art the Best of Sustainers" (5:114). "Say (O Muhammad, Peace be upon him): O ALLAH! Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen! Thou (only) judgest between Thy servants as to that wherein they differ" (39:46). See also in Quran (3:26), (8:32), (10:10).

We find that in most of the OT verses, while translating Elohiym they have rightly considered two words as the combination of a Noun and pronominal suffix " + " i.e. ALLAH-iymma (if consonant lamed and final meem is doubled).

In Psalms, on most of the occasions David (Peace be upon him) used ELOH+iym [or ALLAH-iym-ma if consonant "lamed" and "final meem" are doubled] while praying to God. Similarly Muslims all over the globe

15

also say ALLAH-humma = O God while offering prayers.

See some of the following references where pronominal suffix " -iym of Elohiym (i.e. ALLAH- "iymma if consonant lamed and final meem is doubled) was translated in Old Testament as "O God" in Psalms (4:1), (5:10), (27:9), (144:9). "O my God" in Psalms (3:7), (5:2), (7:1), (7:3) (22:2), (25:2), (94:22). "My God" in Isaiah (7:13), (25:1), (40:27). "The God" in Deut (5:26), "their God" in Isaiah (8:19). "Our God" in Deut (1:6). "Your God" in Deut (1:10). "Thy God" in Isaiah (7:11), Deut (1:21).

In addition, it is a theologically admitted reality that Elohiym (ALLAH-iym) is used to represent Only One True God, because "the language has entirely rejected the idea of the numerical plurality of Elohim (whenever it denotes the One God), is proved especially by its being almost invariably joined with a singular attribute." 12

Thus, " + " ALLAH-iym in Hebrew does not mean any plurality in Divinity. As ALLAH the Almighty Himself declares in His last revelation that, "They surely disbelieve who say: ALLAH is one of three in a trinity; when there is no God save the One ALLAH, and if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve" Holy Quran (5:73).

Other Attributes of ALLAH in Quran and OT

The Almighty ALLAH called Himself in His last revelation to humanity as Elahi and Elah, which was similarly mentioned in Hebrew script of Old Testament with the same basic form of letters using for God i.e., Alef-lamed-heh.

Elahi "Alef-lam-ha (with a vowel Kasra)" is cited in the Holy Quran where "our God" or "God of" is used in the context. As in the Holy Quran (114:1-3), "Say (O Muhammad, Peace be upon him): I seek refuge in the Lord of Mankind, The King of Mankind, The God of Mankind (Elahinnas)".

Similarly, we can find Elohei using "Alef- lamed-heh-yod" like in Exodus (3:15), "The God (Elohei) of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob".

Elah "Alef-lam-ha" is cited in the Holy Quran where "your God" or "thy God" is used.

As in the Holy Quran (2:133), "Were ye witnesses when death appeared before Jacob? Behold, he said to

17

his sons "What will ye worship after me?" They said: "We shall worship Thy God (Elahaka) and the God of thy fathers, of Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac, -- the One (True) ALLAH. And unto Him we have surrendered". Quran (2:163) "And your God is One God! There is no God but He; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful".

Similarly, we may find Eloah "Alef-lamed-vav-heh" like in Nehemiah (9:17), "God of forgiveness, Gracious and compassionate".

Structural formation and history of Yahweh

The four consonants Yod, Hey, Vav, and Hey according to the Jewish encyclopaedia, have various explanations of the meanings proposed to them. For example, (1) that it is derived from ("to fall"), and originally designated some sacred object, such as a stone, possibly an acrolith, which was believed to have fallen from heaven. (2) That it is derived from

("to blow"), a name for the god (denoted with small "g" which signifies false god) of wind and storm."13 However, "this hypothesis is not intrinsically improbable, and in Aramaic, a language closely related to Hebrew, "to be" actually is hawa -- but it should be noted that in adopting it, we admit using the name Hebrew in the historical sense, Yahweh is not a Hebrew name." Encyclopaedia of Britannica 11, Ed Vol 15, p.321

According to Mankinds Search for God, p.225 "the four Hebrew consonants YHWH (Yahweh) that in their Latinized form have come to be known over the centuries in English as Jehovah." 14

Thus, we can articulate that Aramaic pronoun hawa "to be" and Hebrew Pronoun huw' "he is" (e.g., in Jer 29:28, Isa 7:14 tr., as "he") was superimposed with "yah that was identified with the Aramaic Thunder

http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=0433http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=05547http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=02587http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=07349

(false) god"15 giving the origin of a word Yhwh, the pagan name to be introduced in the Torah, Psalms and Gospel of Moses, David and Jesus (Peace be upon them) respectively [e.g., "World wide International version of Bible Yahweh tr., as Jehovah].

Whereas the fact is that, the tegragrammaton YHWH NEVER appeared in the original autograph of book of the Law at any time. These letters were forged and placed in the scrolls centuries later by Babylonian occult scribes.16 Originally, the four consonants yhwh were used by pagans and idolatrous people. We can trace this fact from the image of fortune wheel of pagan myths in which these four consonants are engraved in yhwhs web page: www.yhwh.com/ Tarot/Tarot10.htm - 2005.

As Dr. Pastor Cohen, a respected Christian theologist strappingly censures "What is a Yahwist? They are all (false) moon god worshipers! A Yahweh believer is any person who believes Yhwh (the Tetragrammaton name of Baal) pronounced Yahweh, is the name of God. Yahweh is a guess name and is NOT THE NAME OF THE TRUE GOD. Yahweh as it is spelled IS NOT A HEBREW NAME for God!" (Ibid: 16).

In addition, many theologians assert that the Yahwism cult is a mere Yahwization of pagan religions (i.e. what pagan religions attributed to their gods). [See: Brantley, 1993, 13:50]

However, in the present Hebrew text of OT, the readers may well notice that these consonants also came with a formula as " - - " ya-huwah Elohiym: Lord our God, ya-huwah Elohie: The Lord my God, Psalms (13:3). ya-huwah El Elyon: The Lord Most High God, Psalms (7:17).

ya-huwah Shalom: The Lord of Peace,

Judges (6:24). Because huwah is a pronoun predicted to be cited in OT to denote the noun but later its corruption we assumed, yielded with an addition of yod as ya+huwah to take the form of YHWH the pagan methodological name in the Holy Bible. Hence, we strongly uphold that one should not infer the unrevealed names for Almighty ALLAH like Jehovah or Yahweh, where as the Real Name of One True God is ALLAH (Glorified be He). "That is because ALLAH - He is the Reality; and those besides Him whom they invoke, they are but vain Falsehood: verily ALLAH is He, Most High, Most Great" Holy Quran (22:62).

ALLAH the name of One True God

in the Torah and Psalms

The first commandment given to the children of Israel by the Almighty ALLAH is that: "You shall have no other gods besides Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below"

Exodus (20:3-4).

The above explanation of verse no 3 reminds us the verses of the Holy Quran in which ALLAH says "And We gave Moses the Book and made it a guidance to the children of Israel, saying: Do not take a protector besides Me" (17:2). "Verily, I Am ALLAH. There is no God but I: So serve thou Me (only), and establish regular prayer for celebrating My praise" (20:14). This is the basic teaching of Islam, which denies all false gods and submits to the reality that there is only One True God- ALLAH (Mighty and Sublime be He).

ALLAH, the Almighty also states in His last revelation Quran (2:40) "O Children of Israel! Remember My favour wherewith I favoured you, and fulfil your (part of the) covenant, I shall fulfil My (part of the)

20

covenant, and fear Me". In addition, reminds us the commandments that were given to the Children of Israel in Noble Quran. "And (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none but ALLAH (only), and be good to parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind; and establish worship and pay the poor due. Then you turned back except a few of you and (now too) you turn aside" (2:83).

According to Mankind's Search for God p.225, About 3,500 years ago, God spoke to Moses, saying: Thus shall you speak to the Israelites: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you: This shall be My name forever, this My appellation for all eternity' (Exodus 3:15; Psalms 135:13)." 16

However, the Hebrew-speaking people historically lost the exact pronunciation of "ALLAH" and by passage of time, they mispronounced and misspelled it and with the addition of "iym" which made it to read as Elohim, although Old Testament warned them "Do not use the name of the Lord your God in a false way. For the Lord will punish the one who uses His name in a false way" (20:7).

Therefore, the Holy Quran made it very clear: "The Most Beautiful Names belong to ALLAH: so call on Him by them; but shun such men who violate the sanctity of His Names: for what they do, they will soon be requited" (7:180).

All Praise and Glory belongs to One True God alone, Who has such an Excellent Name-ALLAH ( ) that there exists no plural form for it in any language.

According to the Hebrew language, which was believed to be the language of Moses and David

21

(Peace be upon them) in which Torah17 and Psalms18 were revealed, they uses "Alef-lamed-heh" as the fundamental alphabets for the proper Name of One True God spelled as ELOH or ELAH. On the other hand, if the consonant "lamed" is doubled then it could be well pronounced as ALLAH.

ALLAH the name of One True God

in the Gospel

According to the Aramaic, text of Gospel19 the language of Jesus (Peace be upon him) in which Gospel was revealed, the proper Name of One True God is (Alef-lam-ha) presently pronounced as ALAH, but if the consonant "lam" is doubled like in Hebrew then it could be well pronounced as ALLAH.

Perceive the following verses of Gospel in Aramaic the original language of Jesus (Peace be upon him).

: Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written, you shall not put the Lord your God ( -ALAH) to the test-

Matthew (4:7).

: Then Jesus said to

him, "Go, Satan! For it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God ( -ALAH), and SERVE HIM

ONLY- Matthew (4:10).

:

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God ( -ALAH) - Mark (11:22).

: For with God ( -ALAH)

nothing shall be impossible- Luke (1:37).

: And my spirit hath rejoiced in God ( -ALAH) my Saviour- Luke (1:47).

22

:

If this man were not of God ( -ALAH), he could do

nothing- John (9:33). : God ( -ALAH) is true. John (3:33)

: And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God ( -ALAH) is One Lord-Mark (12:29).

ALLAH the name of One True God in the Quran (last revelation of ALLAH to humanity)

According to the Quran, 20 which was revealed in Arabic, the language of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), the proper Name of One True God

is (Alef-lam-lam-ha) read as ALLAH.

Hence, The Eternal and Absolute Entity that calls upon us to believe in Him and believe in what He revealed: (Quran 2) 28 How disbelieve ye in ALLAH when ye were dead and He gave life to you! Then He will give you death, then life again, and then unto Him ye will return. 41 And believe in what I reveal (i.e. Quran), confirming the revelation which is with you (Torah, Psalms and Gospel), and be not the first to reject Faith therein, nor sell My Signs for a small price; and fear Me and Me alone. (Quran 112) 1 Say (O Muhammad, Peace be upon him): He is ALLAH, the One and Only; 2 ALLAH, the Eternal, Absolute; 3 He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; 4 And there is none comparable unto Him.

Thus, the Proper Name of One True God according to Torah, Psalms, Gospel and Quran is ALLAH.

(Mighty and Sublime be He). ---------------------------------------

"The Most Beautiful Names Belong to ALLAH: so call on Him by Them" Quran (7:180).

The above calligraphy 21 shows the specific list of Ninety-Nine Beautiful

Names of ALLAH mentioned in the Hadith of Tirmidhi. 22

24

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH,

THE BENEFICENT, THE MERCIFUL

Beautiful Names of ALLAH

(Quran 20:8) "ALLAH-there is no God but He; His are the very best Names".

1. AR-RAHMAN "Say (O Muhammad (Peace be

upon him) unto mankind): "Call upon ALLAH, or call upon RAHMAN: by whatever Name ye call upon Him, (it is the same): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names" Quran (17:110). ALLAH is the Most Beneficent and the Most Compassionate. EL-RAHMAN* "Our God is compassionate" Psalms (116:5).

2. AR-RAHEEM "All praise is due to ALLAH, the

Lord of the Worlds. The Beneficent, The Merciful" Quran (1:1-2). ALLAH, the Merciful also, said, "My Mercy has embraced all things" Quran (7:156). EL-RAHUWM* "God is Merciful" Psalms (86:15).

------------------------------------------------------------------------ *According to Ben-Yehudas Dictionary another form of "Chet" (i.e. ch similar to Arabic Hey) is "H" in the same manner as "Machmad" can be read as "Mahamad" (Peace be upon him).

Therefore, the variant form of Rachman or Rachum is Rahman and Rahum, providing evidence that a word written with "Chet" (i.e., ch) in Hebrew can have a variant form as "H". As Neal Walters (admin of Hebrew resources (USA) and author of "At Home with Hebrew") said, "The hardest thing is to transliterate a Hebrew sound that does not exist in the English language.

Who created the heavens and the earth and was not wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the dead? Aye, He verily is Able to do all things" Quran (46:33). The Able, The Capable, The One attributed with Power. Every thing whatsoever is in the heavens or in the earth or in between them submits to His will. There is none Who can deny His Dominant Power and His Capability to give life and death. Islam, the religion of submission was the same Religion that ALLAH had given to all His Prophets in the ages of History. As ALLAH Himself says in Quran (2:130-133) "And who forsaketh the Religion of Abraham save him who befooleth himself? Verily We chose him in the world, and lo! In the Hereafter he is among the righteous. When his Lord said unto him: Surrender (Thy will to Me)! he said: I have surrendered (my will) to the Lord and Cherisher of the Universe. The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, and also Jacob, (saying): O my sons! Lo! ALLAH hath chosen for you the (True) Religion; therefore die not save as men who have surrendered (unto Him). Or were ye present when death came to Jacob, when he said unto his sons: What will ye worship after me? They said: We shall worship thy God, the God of thy fathers,


51

Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac, the One (True) ALLAH, and unto Him we have surrendered."

He is the One Who adjusts all affairs as He likes and there is none to ask Him about His acts, as ALLAH says in Quran (74:14-15) "To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable! Yet is he greedy That I should add (yet more)". The Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) used to invoke ALLAH in late-night prayer as, "You are Al-Muqaddim" (the One Who puts things in a very right place).29 M'QADIYM He Who promotes, Psalms (78:26).

77. AL-MU'AKHKHIR "He (Noah) said: O my

Epilogue

We have witnessed the glaring and illustrating reality of the Sacred and Beautiful Names of ALLAH co-existing in the Quran, Hadith, and Bible. In spite of linguistic differentiation, we find the wonderful similarity both from phonetic and connotative point of view.

It is time that we take to heart, the call of ALLAH. We should give the required attention and response to the global, universal, humanistic and forward-looking call.

As stressed by the Holy Quran (2:21) "O mankind! Serve your Guardian-Lord Who created you and those before you so that you may guard (against evil)". And it also calls upon mankind (35:3) "O mankind! Call to mind the favour of ALLAH on you; is there any creator besides ALLAH who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth? There is no God but He; whence are you then turned away?"

"The Tauhid" affirms Annemarie Schimmel, "the acknowledgment of God's Unity was to remain the heart of Islam in whichever way it was understood, and the only sin that cannot be forgiven is shrik, 'associating something to God.'"

"The duty of human beings is to surrender to this Unique, Omnipotent God, the Merciful, the Compassionate; to surrender from the bottom of one's heart, with one's whole soul and one's entire mind. The word 'Islam' means this complete surrender to the Divine Will; and the one who practices such surrender is a Muslim" (Islam: An Introduction, State University, NY, 1992, p.14).

Thus, "Islam is not a new religion founded by Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was chosen by God to deliver His Message of Peace, namely Islam. He was born in Arabia, and was entrusted with the Message of Islam when he was at the age of forty years. The revelation that he received is called Koran, while the Message is called Islam (A peaceful way of surrendering to God). Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is the very last Prophet of God to mankind. He is the final Messenger of God. His Message was also to the Christians, the Jews and the rest of mankind. He was sent to those religious people to inform them about the true mission of Jesus, Moses, Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham (Peace be upon them). Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is considered to be the summation and the culmination of all the Prophets and Messengers that came before him. He purified the previous

62

Messages from adulteration and completed the Message of God for all humanity. He was entrusted with the power of explaining, interpreting and living the teaching of the Koran"- (Oracle Education Library, Thinkquest.org, Under Koran and Islam, USA, 1999).

The message given by ALLAH to humanity through His last Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), Al-Quran reminds us about the presence of an Omnipresent and Omnipotent Authority Who is ever ready to fulfil mans hopes and aspirations. The very concept of Unity of God and Mankind activates the intellect of the man to create enormous urge to take to the Right path abandoning atheism, polytheism and association.

The teachings of the Holy Quran are simple and universal. The principle of Universal Brotherhood has been stressed time after time in the teachings of Islam.

Thus, one has to embrace this message and Prophethood of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) who has clearly conveyed the Divine guidance to guide and regulate the human conduct and behaviour in all walks of life in accordance with the teachings and principles of Islam, as envisaged in the Holy Quran (Laws of ALLAH) and Hadith (Teachings of Prophet). This advocates a God-bound society but ideal, dynamic and justly balanced society, which is an essentiality for humanity so that man may live a Pure, Peaceful and Purposeful life.

We close this elucidation of ALLAH's Sacred and Beautiful Names by opening the gates of Divine Message and Guidance as envisaged by the Holy Quran (59:24) "He is ALLAH, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise".

"And thus (O Prophet Muhammad, on whom be peace) Proclaim the Message (of ALLAH)! Verily, verily, your ALLAH is One! - Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!" (Quran 37:3-5).

O ALLAH, bestow favours on Prophet Muhammad (Sall ALLAH Hu Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam) and on the family of Prophet Muhammad (Sall ALLAH Hu

Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam) as you had bestowed favours on Prophet Abraham and on the family of Prophet Abraham. Verily You are the Praised, the Glorious.
