World Faiths: The One

Say, ‘He is Allah, the One! Allah the Independent and Besought of all. He begets not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.’

ISLAM, THE QUR’AN, CH.112:V.2-5

A man heard another man reciting (in the prayers): ‘Say (O Muhammad): “He is Allah, the One,”’ and he recited it repeatedly. When it was morning, he went to the Holy Prophet(sa) and informed him about that as if he considered that the recitation of that surah by itself was not enough. Allah’s Apostle said, ‘By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is equal to one-third of the Qur’an.’

ISLAM, THE HOLY PROPHET(SA), HADITH OF SAHIH BUKHARI

…the oneness of God is only completely realised when an individual considers the one and only Being of God to be the Bestower of all desires and the cure and remedy for every illness. This is precisely the meaning of ‘there is none worthy of worship except Allah’.

ISLAM, THE PROMISED MESSIAH(AS), MALFUZAT – VOLUME I, p. 167

I am the first and I am the last;
besides me there is no god.

Jesus answered, ‘The first is, “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one.”’

Realised by the grace of the Holy Preceptor.
