HE IS ONE

Does this massive universe hold one God, two, or more?

Some believe in two, others in three and there are those who believe that the universe has many Gods. The answer is very simple; and of course every Monotheist will say that God is One. Before we set out our reasons for the Oneness of God, let us first consider the claims of those who believe that there is more than one God.

The dualists claim that the Gods comprise Light and Darkness. We say that Darkness and Light are created, they cannot therefore be Gods, thus their claim is unacceptable.

The Christians claim that God is The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. We say that Christ was a human being – humans themselves are created and cannot be Gods. The Holy Spirit, if it is meant as an Angel, cannot claim to be a God – what difference is there between this Angel and the others, and what is the justification for this particular Angel to have the title of God?!

The Idolaters take their idols as God and others worship animals – we ask if it is possible for a lifeless object with no capabilities of motion, or an animal that possesses no intellect which is even less inferior than a human, to be worthy of worship?

These frivolous beliefs, as far as intellectuals are concerned, are mythological and based on nothing but superstition. They hold no value for debate or discussion, and the Holy Qor’aan has briefly presented these opinions, showing what they include of superstitions and absurdities. Saying:

((Surely Allaah does not forgive that anything should be associated with him, and he forgives what is besides this to whom he pleases; and whoever associates anything with Allaah, he indeed strays off into a remote error.)).

((Say: O people! If you are in doubt as to my religion, then (know that) I do not serve those whom you serve besides Allaah, but I do serve Allaah, who will cause you to die, and I am commanded that I should be of the believers.)).

((And Allaah has said: take not two gods, he is only one god; so of me alone should you be afraid.)).

((Say: O followers of the book! Be not unduly immoderate in your religion, and do not follow the low desires of people who went astray before and led many astray and went astray from the right path.)).

“Certainly they disbelieve who say: surely, Allaah – he is the messiah, son of Maryam.)).”

((The messiah, son of Maryam is but an apostle; apostles before him have indeed passed away; and his mother was a truthful woman; they both used to eat food...)).”

((...say: who then could control anything as against Allaah when he wished to destroy the messiah son of Maryam and his mother and all those on earth?)).
