Books of Allah

Muslims believe in all the books revealed by Allah

Allah revealed Books of guidance through his prophets. Muslims believe in all the Original Books of Allah mentioned in the Qura’n, the Tawrat (Turah of Moses), the Zabur (Psalma of David), the Injeel (Gospel) and Suhuf Ibrahim (the Scrollsof Abraham). The Qur'an is the only book of Allah which exists unchanged in its original form. The other Books are not in their original languages and are distorted and mixed with human words. The Qur'an was recorded as soon as it was revealed and was memorised by heart by Muslims.

Allah - Muslims God!

“Allah, there is no god save Him, the Alive, the Eternal, Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. Into Him belongs what so ever is in the heavens and what so ever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedes with Him save by His leave? He knows that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save that He will. His Throne includes the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous” (Qur'an. 2:255).
“All that is in the heavens and earth glorify Allah and He is the Mighty, the Wise. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He ordains life and death and has power over all things. He is the First and the Last and the Inward and the Outward. He has knowledge of all things” (Qur'an. 57:1-4).
“Everything will perish save His countenance. His is the command and unto Him you will be brought back”(Qur'an. 28:88).
“The Originator of the heavens and the earth, when He will a thing He only says unto it “BE” and it is (Qur'an. 2:117)
“And not an atom’s weight in the earth or in the heavens escapes your Lord’s knowledge; neither is there anything smaller than that or larger, but is recorded in a clear decree” (Qur'an. 10-61).
“He knows what you conceal and what you reveal and God knows well the (secrets) of (all) hearts. (Qur'an. 64:4).
“There is nothing like unto Him” (Qur'an. 42:11).
