    Preface

    Welcome to the world of Mystery and at the same time

    authenticity. You will be wondering why you are reading this book, is

    there a need for us to go with religion, and is there a kind of fear or

    doubt about our current religion? Religion can be a just an assumptions

    of some person or inspired by other religions or just a cook up story by

    our ancestors.

    For everyone among us, the first question to be answerable is;

    after I came into this world, I started to follow a religion that is already

    adapted by my parents and they embraces my current religion because

    there parents used to practice it. Hence practicing a religion is just an

    environmental factor for all of us. It is been practice in my house, hence I

    had to adapt it and let my generation also practice the same. Finally the

    story continued forever in almost all our families.

    At this age, I am still at a stage where I never question my self

    about my identity, my life, my religion and my status. The simple reasonis Ignorance and compromise with environment. Why I am Muslim, Why

    my parents are Muslims? Why their parents are Muslims? Ever they

    question themselves at anytime of their whole life time why we are

    Muslims?

    Consider the same questions with yourself and if you are not able

    to answer the above questions alone, ask your brothers, sisters, wife, kin

    and kiths so that you can make them aware with these questions and try

    to find the final Truth with there help and at the end of all researchmake one statement as a bond between you and your upcoming

    generation with final result and advice them to follow the understood

    and tested Religion with specific reasons.

    In this book, I am trying to do the asked activity for me and my

    surrounding and my upcoming generation with a final verdict for the

    If youre one of those who always seek the truth, seek peace and seek

    wisdom. You have got the perfect book to judge who you are and why you areborn and once you die what is going to happen with you? These entire

    questions usually encounter us in day to day life.

    Everyone here in this world comes with a particular objective

    that is

    assigned to him by the Almighty, but unfortunately the discovery of the

    objective takes a very long time and you spend most of the energy and age to

    seek the truth that is already exposed from the day you get into this world.

    You are in doubt about or have no clear idea about who is God? Howyou identify the GOD you are believing is the Real God? God: whether he is a

    human being or anything else, why should I obey and follow God commands,

    whether GOD created the whole existence that is visible to naked eye and that

    is invisible to my naked eye? God is one or many or more? What are the

    feature of GOD, Where God stayed, How the concept of God Evolved through

    ages. Concept of God is real or just a cook up story of our ancestors? At this

    moment, is there a need for GOD? God if he is male? She is also there with

    him? God is begotten and God can also beget? God should have a similarity

    between himself and his creation? God needs any kind to food to keep himhealthy, strong and active for complete 24 hours of a day.

    May Almighty forgive both of us

    , the writer and the reader about such

    kind of questions that are usually arose for the wise as well as the ideal mind.

    Why such type of question arises from everyone? This should be the main

    question that should be the first one that we are tackling.

    Answer is very simple, we dont know in actual sense who is God? Did

    you ever consider when and at what age you heard for the first time the wordGod? Of Course, The answer for this question is also void.

    If someone asks me one question of arithmetic like, 9 is greater than 3 or

    3 is greater than 9, then my answer is as always, 9 is greater than 3. But the

    questioner say I will turn a stick into a living snake with my power, can you

    then believe 3 is greater than 9, it is impossible for me to agree for this,

    because I already believed that 9 is always greater than 3. I am not going to

    Page 6 of 49

    change my stand on my answer after seeing a miracle also. In similar way, To

    understand something we should have a clear mindset, understanding about

    what we are dealing with, like we know 9 is always a big quantity than 3,

    Hence there are certain basic requirement that has get acquainted first then

    we can solve such type of question basically.

    Just start a walk towards the wall mirror, stand straight and take a deep

    look at your body from the top till the bottom of your feet. You will a bunch of

    hair on your head that compose with two eyes, one nose, and lips and then

    follow your neck, then chest, then joint, the legs etc. Now come back to the

    drop of sperm that has given such a great magnificent shape. According to

    science, we believe a single sperm mingle with egg and then the process of

    Birth begins and after a fixed period of time, a baby came into world.

    Now, come out of your room and look at the sky again and again, so that

    you can get a complete view of the endless sky with millions of millions stars

    twinkling and see the crescent of moon spreading its coolness around. As you

    watch the sky, keep searching pillars that are supporting the sky to stand

    without a fall. Are you able to see? The entire set of pillars that keep

    supporting the sky? None is available but from the day human got on the soil,

    they are seeing the unlimited and ever expanding sky but yet to find atleast

    one pillar.

    Just look below your body, are you feeling the tough touch of earth, that

    is the base on which you stood without floating in the air. According to basic

    science knowledge we say earth a planet in one of the solar system. This earth

    keep revolving around the sun and it encircle it complete in span of 365 days.

    This earth inhabits million of creatures that live together, on land or in water or

    in air on plants, Then all the existing living things drink water and eat all the

    type of foods. Get inside the kitchen room, open freezer and see the fish, a

    complete living animal, it also have complete life cycle. Then look at the icecube, just give a thought about it how water being a liquid acquire the form of

    solid?

    There are so many such things that encounter to us in day to day life, For

    every encounter that get across us in our environment either we ignore it or

    try to answer some of the easiest question or just end it by saying to self as let

    us deal it in later time.

    Now is the right time to decide on the very important question, WHO

    AM I? To what category I belong, Did I got the capacity to think or did I have

    atleast a part of wisdom so that I can select a best path for my chosen life so

    that I will be considered in the group of Successful personalities of this World

    and if you think so there also exist a world after you die.

    Let me take you to the past, yes very much of the past, before anyone

    landed on this earth that much past hence forth we can trace actually who am

    I? If you dont know who you are? Then who you are going to called God? The

    very beginning is necessary right?

    In the Beginning!In the Beginning!In the Beginning!In the Beginning!

    Very long time ago, countless time is passed, it is impossible to put the

    exact number for the time that has passed as per today. From the ages there is

    only one individual that exist is called Almighty GOD. In other words, in the

    beginning God is there, at the end again and at this very moment God is there

    with all his power and almighty God is not like all of us or any other creature

    also, there is no image of Him that can be ever compared with. He is not a

    creature or not a creation of anyone else. Creation is one of the power that the

    almighty God possess with him, Almighty God cannot be consider as any of hisown creation, like you cannot imagine him like human being, or any other kind

    that exist all over universe, He is one and Only one. There is none like Him.

    What is the term ALLAH and GOD actually means?

    Allah means (Arabic: "God"), the one and only God in the religion of

    Islam. Etymologically, the name Allah is probably a contraction of the Arabic

    al-Ilah, "the God." The name's origin can be traced back to the earliest Semiticwritings in which the word for god was Il or El, the latter being an Old

    Testament synonym for Yahweh.Allah is the standard Arabic word for "God"

    and is used by Arab Christians as well as by Muslims.

    Allah is the pivot of the Muslim faith. The Muslim holy scripture, the Qur'an,

    constantly preaches Allah's reality, his inaccessible mystery, his various names,

    and his actions on behalf of his creatures. Three themes preponderate: (1)

    Page 8 of 49

    Allah is creator, judge, and rewarder; (2) he is unique (wahid) and inherently

    one (ahad); and (3) he is omnipotent and all-merciful. God is the "Lord of the

    Worlds," the most high, "nothing is like unto him," and this in itself is to the

    believer a request to adore Allah as protector and to glorify his powers of

    compassion and forgiveness.

    God says the Qur'an, "loves those who do good," and two passages in

    the Qur'an express a mutual love between God and man, but the Judeo-

    Christian precept to "love God with all thy heart" is nowhere formulated in

    Islam. The emphasis is rather on God's inscrutable sovereignty, to which one

    must abandon oneself. In essence, the "surrender to Allah" (islam) is the

    religion itself.

    Muslim piety has collected, in the Qur'an and in the Hadith (the sayings of the

    Prophet Muhammad), the 99 "most beautiful names" (al-asma' al-husna) of

    God, and these names have become objects of devoted recitation and

    meditation. Among the names ofAllah are the One and Only, the Living One,

    the Subsisting (al-Hayy al-Qayyum), the Real Truth (al-Haqq), the Sublime (al-

    'Azim), the Wise (al-Hakim), the Omnipotent (al-'Aziz), the Hearer (as-Sami'),

    the Seer (al-Basir), the Omniscient (al-'Alim), the Witness (Shahid), the

    Protector (al-Wakil), the Benefactor (ar-Rahman), the Merciful (ar-Rahim), and

    the Constant Forgiver (Ghafur, Ghaffar).

    At all times there have been freethinkers in Islam, but rare indeed has been

    the Muslim thinker who has denied the very existence of God. Indeed, the

    profession of faith (shahadah) by which a person is introduced into the Muslim

    community consists of the affirmation that there is no god but Allah and that

    Muhammad is his prophet. For pious Muslims, every action is opened by an

    invocation of the divine name (basmalah). The formula insha'a Allah, "if God

    wills," appears frequently in daily speech. This formula is the reminder of an

    ever-present divine intervention in the order of the world and the actions of

    human beings. Muslims believe that nothing happens and nothing isperformed unless it is by the will or commandment of Allah. The personal

    attitude of a Muslim believer, therefore, is a complete submission to God,

    "whom one does not question" but whom one knows according to his

    (Qur'anic) word to be a fair judge, at once formidable and benevolent, and the

    supreme help.

    The dictionary meaning for the term God and Allah is:

    God noun 1 [without article] (in Christianity and other monotheistic

    religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral

    authority; the Supreme Being.

    2 (god) (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit

    worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity: a moon

    god| an incarnation of the god Vishnu. an image, idol, animal, or other object

    worshipped as divine or symbolizing a god. used as a conventional

    personification of fate: he dialled the number and, the gods relenting, got

    through at once.

    3 (god) an adored, admired, or influential person: he has little time for

    the fashion victims for whom he is a god. a thing accorded the supreme

    importance appropriate to a god: don't make money your god.

    4 (the gods) informal: the gallery in a theatre. the people sitting in this

    area. exclamation used to express a range of emotions such as surprise, anger,

    and distress: God, what did I do to deserve this?| my God! Why didn't you tell

    us sooner? to give emphasis to a statement or declaration: God, how I hate

    that woman!

    As a Muslim, a believer should be calling God as Allah. A unique name to

    One and Only one true God is Allah.

    Allah the name of God among Muslims (and Arab Christians). -ORIGIN

    from Arabic 'allah, contraction ofal-'ilah 'the god'.

    Let us get this meaning from the god itself in His own words:

    Verily I am Allah: There is no God but I, so serve thou me, and establish

    regular prayer for celebrating my praise.

    In English language we use a word called GOD, it is used for a male

    gender god, the opposite gender word called Goddess, But the Islamic term for

    God is ALLAH, This word is a unique and particularly used for the GOD in Islam,

    the point is Allah is all alone, there is no one to share His attribute and

    Page 10 of 49

    anything from Him. Allah the almighty God, has said these unique words,

    towards one of his selected messenger called Musa (Moses), Musa and his wife

    are passing through a valley. Read the following sentences with attention:

    When he saw a fire and said unto his family: indeed! Wait! I see

    a fire afar off. Perhaps I may get you some fire from there or may find

    guidance at the fire. And when he reached it, he was called by name:

    O Musa! Without a doubt! I, even I, am your Lord, so take off your

    shoes, for Indeed you are in the valley of Tuwa. And I have chosen you,

    so listen unto that which is inspired to you.

    Now, come back to me, let me tell you in detail about these above

    sentences, Musa, is a one of the selected personality by the almighty Allah todeliver his message to Mankind. This event occurs to him before the moment

    he is assigned for the job as a messenger by the almighty Allah. On the

    mountain of valley Tuwa, Musa went towards the tree from where he saw a

    cool light is emerging upon a tree as he move towards that tree, the light step

    aback, and then he is called by his name, O Musa. Without doubt, I am your

    God for a while Musa thought it may be illusion or a thought passed to me by

    Satan, but he rejected this thought by saying himself Now, This is my lord,

    because my soul is absorbing the voice from every direction, it is coming from

    almost from everywhere, not from one point. It cannot be of any particularperson; it should be the almighty Allah command. Remember the fact, if

    youre talking to someone, you will move your head towards that person so

    that with the help of your ear you can listen, but when almighty Allah voice is

    heard to Musa, Every part of his soul is listening to it, and he is feeling the

    voice is emerging from every direction.

    Finally, Musa cannot resist and he asks a question like a curious man,

    Where are you, my dear God. The answer came I am infront of you, I am

    backside of you, I am on top of you, I am left side of you, I am at the rightside of you, and I am always with you.

    Then the following sentence is delivered to Musa,

    Verily I am Allah: There is no God but I, so serve thou me, and

    establish regular prayer for celebrating my praise.

    The word ALLAH is the word solely applies to the One and the Only God.

    There is no one like Him, He is alone and He Himself has created everything

    that our eye is capable of seeing and that which is not capable also. Everything

    that is in our knowledge and that also that is not available in our knowledge.

    Now, my dear friends, why we are proclaiming that Allah is the one and

    only god? Let us answer this with another set of sentences:

    Say: He is Allah, the One!

    Allah, the eternally Besought of all!

    He begetteth not nor was begotten.

    And there is none comparable unto Him.

    Read the above sentences again and again till you memorize them

    forever. Try to search such type of sentences else where, it is impossible to find

    other than the holy book Quran itself, the words of ALLAH.

    The above sentences are unique attributes for the almighty Allah, a

    simple but undisputed introduction to almighty Allah in His own words. The

    simplest definition and a meaningful description of the supreme power thathold for the almighty Allah only.

    He is Allah, the One! Consider this sentence, The One, it means,

    unique and none is like Him, not in any form or not in any kind of thought also,

    and Allah almighty is eternal, His presence is almost from eternity. Allah

    almighty is independent of everyone, He never needs a companion, supporter

    or a family or in need of any humanly desire because He is the creator of all the

    creation and all there needs also.

    The Word ALLAH, itself means, the creator of everything and from His

    power everything get their origin. What ever creature that comes under your

    knowledge circle or outside the circle of your knowledge, it is the Almighty

    Allah who is the creator. Allah also means a true and only god that has to be

    worship for all the reason without assigning any partner to Him.

    Almighty Allah is the God where everyone spread their desire to get

    granted and all the desire He alone is going to get it granted either at the

    moment or after some time or even on the day of Judgement. If your pray is

    been delayed in grant, then there is something that is kept it delay. Always

    remember Allah is merciful towards His creatures.

    Allah is never been attribute to anyone of the creature resemblance,

    because He is so much distinct from His creature in all the aspect. Allah is a

    unique and only one, In the whole there is no one like Him and not even any

    body knowledge can get a slight thought about Him. How He look? Whether

    He walks, Whether He sleep, Whether He get all the weakness that usually

    occur to His creation. Never, Allah is all clear about these, He is never had any

    disability or any kind of weakness. Allah is not a kind of creature, who need afather to beget Him, or He beget any one. Allah is pure and He is without

    slightest and tiny impurity.

    Allah has not created anybody like Himself. Hence there is none to get

    compare with HIM.

    Let us look at following sentences:

    It is true; these words are not crafted by any human, but by the almighty

    Allah Himself. Just read the following translation that give you that actual

    sense of the term GOD, feel each and every word and concentrate on them

    and wait till they talk to you and get you in the depth of their reach. Now look

    at the translation of the above sentence.

    Allah! there is no god save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither

    slumber nor sleep over taketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the

    heavens (sky) and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with

    Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that

    which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save

    what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never

    weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.

    Let me detailed the above sentences in very simple means so that these

    kind of sentence should not ignored. They form the basis for understanding of

    the Term GOD.

    We know Allah, is Eternal, is forever Alive, Allah is away from sleep orslumber such things are features of creature not of the creator. Everything

    belongs to Him, what ever you see in the universe, of course all of us and

    almost our surrounding including our souls. There is none to question Him like

    why you have done this to me, why not you do like this etc. Almighty Allah is all

    aware from the beginning, till the end. Allah is aware of past, present and also

    of future, Hence Allah had and has all the knowledge and from His knowledge

    He will grant to those whom He will.

    Allah throne include the Heavens and the earth, that is, it is ALLAH whocontrol every thing from stars, planets, mountains, oceans, river, all creatures,

    living and non-living entities. A single leaf will fell on the ground with Allah

    permission only. Allah is aware of every step a blank ant that walks in black

    night on a black stone of a mountain. Hence what ever occur now, in future as

    well as that has already happen in the past every bit by bit Almighty Allah is

    aware and by His command and will it happen.

    Now let us take a look at the following sentences:

    Allah (Alone) originates the creations, then He will repeat it. Then to

    Him you will be returned.

    Creation of creatures is an easy job for the almighty Allah, and of course

    after the end day, He is going to repeat it again. The entire creature will come

    alive and they will get gather in one ground infront of their creator.

    Look at the other sentence :

    And invoke not any other god along with Allah, Everything will perish

    save His Face. His is the Decision, and to Him you (all) shall be returned.

    Almighty Allah commands here in this sentence that worship and call at

    the times should be directed towards Allah alone. The creator is the only

    eternal self and all the other creatures are going die, there is no escape for

    decision maker of everyone faith is decided by the almighty Allah.

    Say: Praise be to Allah, and peace on His servants whom He has

    chosen (for His Message). (Who) is better? Allah or The false gods they

    associate (with Him)?

    In the above sentence (verse) a question is posed by the Almighty Allah,

    towards His creations. After getting the clear message via His messenger the

    chosen ones, still you doubt about Allah and associate other in worship beside

    Him.

    Read the very next sentence, and try to think and reply the question:

    Is not He( better than your gods) who created the heavens (sky) and

    the earth, and sends down for you water(rain) from the sky, whereby we

    cause to grow wonderful gardens full of beauty and delight? It is not your

    ability to cause the growth of their trees. Is there any god beside Allah? Nay,

    but they are a people who ascribe equals (to Him)!

    Allah is the creator of the unlimited and non-measurable sky ( according

    to Islam, there are seven skies, one above another usually refer as heavens.)

    There is no one to claim such kind authority over creation of earth and sky etc.

    Along with the above observation, the forming of clouds, then flying to one

    place and then thunder, lighting and finally rain that get the water down on

    earth , as soon water pour down, garden of plants start growing, the growth of

    a plant is also the grace of Almighty Allah.

    Is not He (better than your gods) who has made the earth as a fixedabode, and has placed rivers in its midst, and has placed firm mountains

    therein, and has set a barrier between the two seas (of salt and sweet

    water)? Is there any god beside Allah, Nay, but most of them know not!

    Without doubt there is no god but Allah, now it 1400 years already over

    we came to know via holy book Quran that in a sea,[there are two kinds of

    water available one salty and the other sweet water partition at the center.

    The holy book Quran is the message revealed to the chosen messenger of

    Almighty Allah prophet Muhammad(pbuh).] , in the oceans, in the river, in theponds, in the sea; water is poured via rains, there are sweet water and salt

    water that are made separated with a barrier. It is almighty Allah who can

    make separation in the sea between salt and sweet water. The flowing water,

    and the cycle of water circulation- Sea, vapour, clouds, rain, river, and the sea

    again. These are the challenges for the people who associate other gods with

    Almighty Allah. No other can has such kind of challenges pose to anybody in

    any kind form from their believed God.

    My dear friends, read again all the above sentences one by one till you

    remember them. Look at the questions posed to you by the almighty Allah andtry to search the answer for each of the question. First of all it is impossible for

    you to get such type of question from anyone, but so simple question and with

    such a simple answer. Only the almighty Allah can ask such type of questions

    because He Himself is the creator of all the things that are in your knowledge

    and yet you wont recognize who is actual creator of all these things that also

    include you as one of His creation.

    Sky, earth, mountains, rivers, sea, oceans, ponds, clouds, rain, water, the

    sky with its twinkling stars, sun, moon, day, night, plants, animals, Humans andeverything that comes under our limited knowledge and that has to be

    discover yet. All these things require one creator, who can give a unique shape,

    distinct features and wonderful behavior feature for each and every entity.

    Who can be that creator? Only the one who creates it can tell us how He

    created it or only the one who creates, can challenge other about His own

    work.

    Finally, let me talk about the best of the creation of the creator, the Man

    itself. What is the most amazing thing about human being you can considerand easily distinct from other creatures? Now let us concentrate on the next

    sentence:

    We have indeed created man in the best of moulds(stature).

    Excellent sentence, of course the man is build in the best form,

    symmetry, nature and constitution. There is no fault in Allahs creation. To

    Man Allah gave the purest and the best nature, and mans duty is to preserve

    the pattern on which Allah has made him.

    Now compare yourself with almost all the other creature in each and

    every aspect. Of course there are lot of difference you can point so that you

    can distinct yourself from other creations of almighty Allah. For an instance

    compare yourself with Fish in water, eagle in air, and elephant on land and

    finally Man- He can fly in the air with the help of airplane, he can swim in the

    water and he can walk on the land. Did you see an elephant flying in an

    airplane, or a fish taking a walk on the land, a bird wearing clothes and walking

    in street of your place. What makes a man so unique over all the creatures?Keep thinking till I came back to the same question again.

    O Mankind, if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then indeedwe have created you ( that is Adam the first MAN) from dust, then from a

    Nutfah( a mixed drop of male and female sexual discharge, all the offspring

    of Adam), then from a clot( a piece of thick coagulated blood) then from a

    little lump of flesh some formed and some unformed( as in the case of

    miscarriage) that we may make( it) clear to you( that is to show you our

    power and ability to do what we will). And we cause whom we will to remain

    in the wombs for an appointed term, then we bring out as infants, then (give

    you growth) that you many reach your age of full strength. And among you

    there is he who dies(young), and among you there is he who is brought back

    to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And

    you see the earth barren, but when we send down water(rain) on it, it is

    stirred(to life), and it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth).

    Still you doubt the existence of GOD, the Almighty Allah, in holy book

    Quran it is already 1400 year old book, and we are coming to know all the

    stages of development of human growth. At that time nobody knows, what

    stages a human embryo has to undergo before a complete child comes out the

    womb.

    Read again the same sentence and find the beauty in it, only the creatorcan describe such a beautiful sketch of your life. At the last, a live example that

    comes to your naked eye that is infront of you before rain the land is tough, no

    sign of any living plant, but soon rain water pour over it, the next change is you

    can watch small greenery over the land full with plants. A death land comes to

    life and you can observe the way how the tree progress all the stages. The

    development of human kid are within the womb of a womb, not possible to

    see via naked eye hence another example is illustrated in the form of plants.

    Consider the sentence, Miserable age, we can see with our own eyesand we can witness such kind of age in our own homes. Above verse or

    sentence is enough for the wise to accept the presence of almighty Allah

    everywhere, the eternal in all aspect.

    The talk here is About GOD, the concept of God, in a sense we want to

    understand the term God, who is god and what actually make a God- a god?

    Such type of discussion is required and from the above sentences or verses,

    we are providing you the explanation about these terms. In each verse there is

    something that is been highlighted about Almighty Allah in term of His self andHis powerful attributes that are not to be found anywhere else beside Him

    alone.

    There are others verse that are unique and contributes many important

    points regarding the term God. Let us explore them here one after another.

    The following verse or sentence is very amazing just concentrate on the

    process of sleep and death, try to understand the death and sleep terms:

    It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die

    not ( He takes) during their sleep. Those on whom He has passed the decree

    of death, He keeps back(from returning to life), But the rest He sends(to their

    bodies) for a term appointed. Indeed in this are signs for those who reflect.

    Every human being is believed to have understanding of sleep and the

    term death. The one difference between sleep and death is , a sleeping personwill wake up again but not a death person.

    Sleep is essential thing for all the animals including Human, usually in

    sleep a person looses his control over his body and all the activities of his body

    comes under rest. Dreams are the other things that are always associated with

    sleep, the mechanism of dream process is also a topic of much concerns

    specially when you talk about spiritually and philosophy.

    According to Holy book Quran, During Sleep, the human soul get freeitself from the point of its stay in the body. And move upwards towards its

    creator place from where it has came into the body, what ever it see their it

    will happen in reality as future tense, as it was seen there, while returning

    back if it may get diverted by the intervention of Evil then those things that

    they show and talk is not going to come true. Hence a dream can be defined

    as the journey of soul that usually occurs while the body takes rest in the form

    of sleep.

    There are some lucky souls that are return back from the journey totheir respective destination in the body of a person and some are held back as

    a result of expiration of their duration.

    The soul is associated to its body with some kind of connection, when

    you try to awake the body that is in deep sleep, will come back to sense in a

    while, this is happen with the help of this connection. As soon as the

    connection is disabled between the body and soul, then the body and the soul

    are disconnected forever.

    The term soul, dream, death and body are in a way connected to the life

    cycle of human being. The relation between the sleep and death establishes in

    the above sentence is very peculiar to their concept, there is more to discuss

    about it. Inshallah we talk to it in some other book. The above terms are very

    much mystery for every one hence the sentence says that is such a

    understandable approach nobody can reject it. It is the Almighty Allah who is

    creator of such entities.

    Next sentences are unique for the almighty Allah alone; get inside them

    with complete devotion.

    He who created Death and Life that He may try which of you is best in

    deed: and He is the Exalted in Might Oft-Forgiving.

    Say: "It is He who has multiplied you through the earth and to Him

    shall ye be gathered together."

    It is the words of the almighty Allah, the true god, read these words,

    they are so lively, and they touch the pure heart as soon as it read them. For

    human being there are two main focal points, first Life and the last is death, in

    between comes everything that get them from birth to all the stages of their

    life, they grow from day one till they reach old age and at the end they taste

    Death. Both the life and death are in the hand of almighty Allah, Once the male

    and female come together, the baby who will get into the world will get his life

    from the almighty after he spend his complete allotted time. In between the

    allotted time the human will be tested by the almighty Allah and watch over

    for the kind of deeds that are done by the human. Then almighty Allah will

    send his death him.

    The next verse is a wonderful study of nature, usually ignore by the

    human observation. Almost all the flying birds, how beautifully, fearlessly they

    fly over our head in the sky. How amazing it is to watch them flying, so light in

    weight facing the air current and balancing against such a force is a real

    surprise fact.

    As a creator of all the creatures including human being, almighty Allah

    has gifted us the power of seeing, hearing, sensing and wisdom to judge and

    identify each and everything that we get encounter with.

    The process of birth and death will continue till the end, once the last

    day of Judgement comes, when all the creation are leveled by death, almighty

    Allah will gather all the creation and then He will take account of each andevery individual Human being that has taken birth.

    It Almighty Allah that will create a complete human being from a single

    drop of sperm, then He shape the human in the womb of a woman and let him

    come into the world in a shape that is loved by everyone. There is a message in

    neither of the East nor of the West whose Oil is well-nigh luminous though

    of transcendent truth about spiritual mysteries. No notes can do adequate

    justice to its full meaning. Volumes have been written on this subject. In these

    notes I propose to explain the simplest meaning of this passage. he physical

    Page 24 of 49

    Light is Allah. We can only think of Allah in terms of our phenomenal

    experience, and in the phenomenal world, light is the purest thing we know,

    but physical light has drawbacks incidental to its physical nature: eg. (1) it is

    dependent upon some source external to itself; (2) it is a passing phenomenon;

    if we take it to be a form of motion or energy it is unstable, like all physical

    phenomena; (3) it is dependent on space and time; its speed is 186,000 miles

    per second, and there are stars whose light takes thousands of years before it

    reaches the earth. The perfect Light of Allah is free from any such defects. The

    first three points in the Parable center round the symbols of the Niche, the

    Lamp, and the Glass. (1) The Niche (Mishkat) is the little shallow recess in the

    wall of an Eastern house, fairly high from the ground, in which a light (before

    the days of electricity) was usually placed. Its height enabled it to diffuse the

    light in the room and minimised the shadows. The background of the wall andthe sides of the niche helped to throw the light well into the room, and if the

    wall was white-washed, it also acted as a reflector: the opening in front made

    the way for the light. So with the spiritual Light; it is placed high, above worldly

    things; it has a niche or habitation of its own, in Revelation and other Signs of

    Allah; its access to men is by a special Way, open to all, yet closed to those who

    refuse its rays. (2) The Lamp is the core of the spiritual Truth, which is the real

    illumination; the Niche is nothing without it; the Niche is actually made for it.

    (3) The Glass is the transparent medium through which the Light passes. On

    the one hand, it protects the light from moths and other forms of low life andfrom gusts of wind, and on the other, it transmits the fight through a medium

    which is made up of and akin to the grosser substances of the earth (such as

    sand, soda, potash, etc.), so arranged as to admit the subtle to the gross by its

    transparency. So the spiritual Truth has to be filtered through human language

    or human intelligence to make it intelligible to mankind. The glass by itself

    does not shine. But when the light comes into it, it shines like a brilliant star. So

    men of God, who preach Allah's Truth, are themselves illuminated by Allah's

    light and become the illuminating media through which that Light spreads and

    permeates human life. The olive tree is not a very impressive tree in itsoutward appearance. Its leaves have a dull greenish-brown colour, and in size

    it is inconspicuous. But its oil is used in sacred ceremonies and forms a

    wholesome ingredient of food. The fruit has a specially fine flavour. This Olive

    is not localised. It is neither of the East nor of the West. It is universal, for such

    is Allah's Light. As applied to the olive, there is also a more literal meaning,

    which can be allegorised in a different way. An olive tree with an eastern

    aspect gets only the rays of the morning sun; one with a western aspect, only

    the rays of the western sun. In the northern hemisphere the south aspect will

    give the sun's rays a great part of the day, while a north aspect will shut them

    out altogether, and vice versa in the southern hemisphere. But a tree in the

    open plain or on a hill will get perpetual sunshine by day; it will be more

    mature, and the fruit and oil will be of superior quality. So Allah's light is not

    localised or immature: it is perfect and universal. Pure olive oil is beautiful in

    colour, consistency, and illuminating power. The world has tried all kinds of

    illuminants, and for economic reasons or convenience, one replaces another.

    But for coolness, comfort to the eyes, and steadiness, vegetable oils are

    superior to electricity, mineral oils, and animal oils. And among vegetable oils,

    olive oil takes a high place and deserves its sacred associations. Its purity is

    almost like light itself: you may suppose it to be almost light before it is lit. So

    with spiritual Truth: it illuminates the mind and understanding imperceptibly,almost before the human mind and heart have been consciously touched by it.

    Glorious, illimitable Light, which cannot be described or measured. And there

    are grades and grades of it, passing transcendently into regions of spiritual

    height, which man's imagination can scarcely conceive of. The topmost

    pinnacle is the true prototypal Light, the real Light, of which all others were

    reflections, the Light of Allah.]

    The above text and explanation of the last sentence is given by Abdulla

    Yousuf Ali the translator of Holy Quran.

    Now Let me conclude the concept of GOD

    , in the following page all the

    view are going to be a clear point of view, Here God is usually refer for the

    Almighty Allah only, There is no comparison to the almighty Allah by any other

    god.

    Consider the following articles taken from one of the book related to the

    Existence of God and the concept of spirit. Read the article concentrate on the

    term and meaning with the existence keyword so that we can understand the

    importance of God and spirit.The existence of God

    Perhaps the most celebrated issue in classical metaphysics concerned

    the existence of God. God in this connection is the name of "the perfect

    Being" or "the most real of all things"; the question is whether it is necessary

    to recognize the existence of such a being as well as of things that either are or

    might be objects of everyday experience. A number of famous arguments have

    Page 26 of 49

    been advanced from the time of the Greeks in favour of the thesis that such

    recognition is necessary. The neatest and most ingenious was the a priori

    argument of St. Anselm in the 11th century, who said that "that than which

    nothing greater can be conceived" must exist in fact as well as in thought, for if

    it existed only in thought and not in fact, something greater than it could be

    conceived, namely the same thing existing in fact. God necessarily exists,

    because the idea ofGod is the idea of that than which nothing greater can be

    conceived. This is the argument later known as the ontological proof. Relatively

    few philosophical theologians, either in the middle Ages or later, could bring

    themselves to accept this bold piece of reasoning (although Descartes,

    Spinoza, Leibniz, and Hegel all accepted it in principle); most preferred to

    ground their case for God's existence on premises that claimed to be empirical.

    Thus, St. Thomas Aquinas, perhaps the most influential Scholastic philosopher,in the 13th century argued that to explain the fact of motion in the world, the

    existence of a prime mover must be presupposed; that to account for

    contingent or dependent being the existence of something that is necessary or

    self-contained must be presumed; that to see why the world is orderly and

    why the different things in it fit together harmoniously, a situation that might

    not have obtained, a Creator who fashioned it on these lines must be

    postulated--adding in each case "and this all men call God'." These are versions

    of the first cause argument and the argument from design, which were to

    figure prominently in the thinking of later theistically inclined metaphysicians.

    The first cause argument should, perhaps, be examined in somewhat

    greater detail, because it both has an immediate plausibility and lies at the

    basis of many different kinds of metaphysical systems (that of Hegel, for

    example, as well as that of Aquinas). The argument begins with the innocent-

    looking statement that something contingent exists; it may be some particular

    thing, such as oneself, or it may be the world in general (thus, the description

    of the proof as being a contingentia mundi, or "from the contingency of the

    world"). In describing oneself or the world as contingent, one means only that

    the thing in question does not exist through itself alone; it owes its being to

    the activity of some other thing, as a person owes his being to his parents.

    Contingent things are not self-complete; they each demand the existence of

    something else if they are to be explained. Thus, the move is made from

    contingent to necessary being; it is felt that contingent things, of whatever

    order, cannot be endlessly dependent on other contingent things but must

    presuppose a first cause that is self-complete and so exists necessarily. In

    Hegel the necessary being is not a separate existent but, as it were, an order of

    things; the loose facts of everyday life and even of science are said to point to

    a system that is all-embracing and in which everything is necessarily what it is.

    The principle of the argument, however, is unchanged despite the change in

    the conclusion.

    Damaging criticism was brought against all the traditional arguments for

    God's existence by Hume and Kant in the 18th century. The ontological proof

    was undermined by the contention that "being is not a real predicate";

    existence is not part of the concept ofGod in the way in which, for example,

    being all-powerful is. To say that something exists is not to specify a concept

    further but to claim that it has an instance; it cannot be discovered whether a

    concept has an instance by merely inspecting it. The first cause argument, it

    was contended, suffers from two fatal weaknesses. Even if it is correct in its

    assertion that contingent being presupposes necessary being, it cannot identify

    the necessary being in question with God (as happened in each of the

    Thomistic proofs) without resurrecting the ontological argument. If it is true, as

    supporters of the causal proof suppose, that God alone can answer the

    description of a necessary being, then whatever exists necessarily is God and

    whatever is God exists necessarily. Modern supporters of the causal proof

    have tried to meet this objection by saying that the equivalence is one of

    concepts, not of concept and existent; the existence of a necessary being is

    already established in the first part of the argument, and the equivalence in

    the second part of the argument is between the concept of necessary being

    and the concept ofGod. In other words, they distinguish between existence

    and essence. In the first part of the argument, the existence of a necessary

    being is proved; in the second part of the argument, the essence of that

    necessary being is identified with what men call God. Beyond this first

    contended weakness, however, there are grave difficulties in the move from

    contingent to necessary existence. Things in the experienced world are causally

    related, and some account of this relationship can be given in terms of the

    temporal relations of events; causal relations hold primarily between kinds of

    events, and a cause is, at least, a regular antecedent of a specific kind of effect.

    But when an attempt is made to extend the notion of causality from a

    relationship that holds within experience to one that connects the experienced

    world as a whole to something that falls wholly outside it, there is no longer

    anything firm on which to hold. The activities of God cannot precede

    happenings in the world because God is, by definition, not in time; and how

    Page 28 of 49

    the relationship is to be understood in these circumstances becomes highly

    problematic. Some metaphysicians, like some recent theologians, seek to

    evade the difficulty by saying that God is not the cause of the world but its

    ground, or again by distinguishing causes of becoming, which are temporal,

    from a cause of being, which is not. It is doubtful whether these moves do

    more than restate the problem in different terms.

    The argument from design is itself a form of causal argument and

    accordingly suffers from all the difficulties mentioned above, together with

    some of its own, as Hume and Kant both point out. Even on its own terms it is

    wrong to conclude the existence of a Creator rather than an architect.

    Furthermore, it infers that the being in question has unlimited powers, when

    all that the evidence seems to warrant is that its powers are very great. The

    argument lost much of its force by the publication of the English naturalist

    Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. The unbroken reign of law

    throughout natural evolution is impressive, but as a line of reasoning it does

    not seem to bear close examination.

    The metaphysical problem ofGod's existence is more of an issue today

    than the problem of universals; there are still thinkers who hope to restate the

    old proofs in more convincing ways. The ontological proof, in particular, has

    won renewed attention from thinkers such as Norman Malcolm, a philosopher

    strongly influenced by Wittgenstein, and Charles Hartshorne, an American

    Realist whose form of theism is called panentheism (the doctrine of a God who

    has an unchanging essence but who completes himself in an advancing

    experience). Increasingly, however, philosophers of religion are preoccupied

    not with these metaphysical abstractions but with the status and force of

    actual religious claims. "The most real of all things" is no longer at the centre of

    their attention: they seek to investigate God as a suitable object for worship.

    The conception of spirit

    As well as arguing for the separate existence of mental substance,

    metaphysicians have claimed that mind is, as it were, the key to the

    understanding of the universe. What exists is spirit, or at least is penetrated by

    spirit. This is the thesis of Idealism, a type of philosophy that is often derided

    but that, like its rival Materialism, has a constantly fresh appeal. This view is

    worth examining in more detail than has so far been possible.

    Page 29 of 49

    It is best to begin by distinguishing the thesis of Idealism proper from

    some others with which it is readily confused. Leibniz said that the true atoms

    of nature were monads or souls; at bottom nothing existed except minds.

    Berkeley claimed that sensible things have no existence without the mind;

    there are spirits that experience, including an infinite spirit, and there are the

    contents of their experiences, but there is no independently existing world of

    matter. For the philosophers who followed Hegel, both Leibniz and Berkeley

    were "subjective" Idealists: they conceived of reality in terms of the

    experiences of individual minds. Hegel's view, by contrast, was that what exists

    is not so much pure mind as mind writ large; i.e., the universe is penetrated by

    mind and exists for the sake of mind, and it cannot be understood unless this

    fact is grasped. Hegel was thus not committed to denying that there is an

    independent world of nature but, on the contrary, openly proclaimed it.Nature was there for mind to master it and in so doing to discover itself.

    The field in which Hegel first worked out this theory was that of human

    affairs. The human world may be said to be mind made objective because it

    consists of a series of structures--examples would be a language, a set of moral

    or political procedures, a science, a practical art such as medicine--that

    constitute mental achievements. The mind involved in structures of this kind,

    however, is collective rather than personal. An art such as medicine or a

    science such as mathematics is not the invention of any particular individual;

    and although individuals have contributed and are contributing to the

    advancement of each structure, they do so not in their personal capacity but as

    embodying impersonal intelligence.

    Because the human world thus embodies mind, or spirit, it needs to be

    understood in a special way--in terms of what Hegel called "concrete

    universals." Concepts of this kind are in order when it is a question of grasping

    a particular sort of subject matter--one in which there are intimate

    connections between the data under consideration. Connections in nature are,

    on the surface at any rate, of a purely external character; striking a match, for

    example, has nothing internally to do with producing a flame. When, however,

    a historian considers the different stages of some movement or process, or

    when an anthropologist studies the various aspects of the life of a society, the

    material they confront is internally related just because it represents the work

    of mind--not, of course, of mind working in a vacuum but of mind facing and

    reacting with greater or less intelligence to particular situations. It is not

    surprising in these circumstances to find that the conceptual structure

    Page 30 of 49

    employed by the student of human affairs is, in important respects, profoundly

    different from that employed by the student of nature. In the latter, what are

    in question are constant conjunctions, observed but not understood; in the

    former, men have insight into what happens or obtains because they can

    reenact in their own minds the thought behind the material they study.

    All this is, or should be, comparatively uncontroversial; it represents the

    truth behind the claim of Wilhelm Dilthey, a German philosopher and historian

    of ideas, that human affairs can be understood, as it were, from within, by

    means of what he called Verstehen ("understanding"). But of course it is one

    thing to say this and another altogether to argue that the universe at large

    should be construed as if it were mind writ large. What makes Hegelianism

    intriguing to some and totally implausible to others is precisely that it makes

    this extravagant claim. As has already been mentioned, the world of nature for

    Hegel is in one way independent of mind: its being is certainly not its being

    perceived. It is, nevertheless, relevant to mind in all sorts of important ways: in

    providing a setting in which mind can act, in constituting an obstacle that mind

    can overcome, in presenting mind with something seemingly alien in which it

    can nevertheless find itself insofar as it discovers nature to be intelligible. If

    Hegel were asked why there was a world of nature at all, his answer would be

    "for the sake of mind." Just as man's social environment affords opportunities

    to the individual to come to full knowledge of himself by realizing his

    differences from and dependence upon others, so the world of nature affords

    similar opportunities. By transforming the natural scene, men make it their

    own. In so doing they come to know what they can do, and thus what they are.

    There is, perhaps, more to this doctrine than appears at first sight. It is,

    however, easier to assent to it in general terms than to follow Hegel over it in

    detail. According to the Idealist account, there is in the end only one true

    description of the universe, namely that which is couched in terms of the

    concrete universal. Reality is a single self-differentiating system, all the parts of

    which are intimately connected; it is spirit that expresses itself in the natural

    and human worlds and comes to consciousness of itself in so doing. Any other

    account of the matter--for example, that given by the scientist in terms of

    experienced uniformities--must be dismissed as inadequate. To Hume's

    objection that there is an absolute logical difference between propositions

    expressing matters of fact and existence and propositions expressing relations

    of ideas, Hegel replies brusquely that the distinction is untenable. At a certain

    level, perhaps, facts are taken as "brute." Even the scientist, however, never

    Page 31 of 49

    abandons his aspiration to understand them--it is only provisionally that he

    talks in terms of "ultimate inexplicabilities"--and the philosopher knows that

    the demand to incorporate all knowledge in a single system is not to be

    denied. It is a demand that, as Hegelians are willing to admit, can in practice

    never be met but that, nonetheless, ceaselessly makes itself felt. That such is

    the case is shown by the extraordinary fascination exercised by this strange but

    remarkable type of philosophy.

    To try to understand the universe in terms of spirit is characteristic of

    philosophers whose main extra-philosophical interests are in the humanities,

    particularly in historical studies. Relatively few scientifically minded thinkers

    have followed this line of thought, and many Idealists of repute, including

    Bradley and Benedetto Croce (an Italian philosopher and literary critic whose

    major philosophical work was published in four volumes between 1902 and

    1917 under the general title La filosofia dello spirito ("The Philosophy of the

    Spirit"), have been least convincing when writing about science. Hegel himself,

    perhaps, had less sympathy with scientific than with historical aspirations; this

    is not to say, however, that he was ill-informed about contemporary science.

    He knew what was going on, but he saw it all from his own point of view, the

    point of view of one who was entirely convinced that science could not

    produce any ultimate answers. He valued science but rejected the scientific

    view of the world.

    My dear reader, the concept of God and the Spirit is important if you

    consider the issue of Life and Death as the actual part of serious objective. Let

    me make it clear about my thoughts according to Islam as a religion.

    The modern world always rejects the existence of God, concept of spirit

    and other matters that are usually hidden by the naked eye. The belief

    if you see with your two eyes then only you can believe is the quote for themodern world. Every one knows, every event that occurs is going to happen

    because there is some energy that supports that event to occur. Consider a

    short story in some part of the world. A king of some place saw a group of

    visitor from a place who oppose the idea of God and world of hereafter. They

    came and said to the king, we are here to make a debate about Existence of

    God and the other ideas that are usually highlighted by Muslim followers. Call

    for your learned people so that we can defeat them with our modern Science

    and theories. King agreed and call upon one of his learned man to come and

    debate with the visitor who claim that There is no such thing as God, Angels,

    Creator, Creations, After Death again one life, rewards and punishment,

    heaven and hell etc. so come tomorrow on the particular time slot and give

    them the truth answer and convinced them about the fact that Almighty Allah

    is the real creator and true God.

    Next day, the visitor and king kept waiting for the learned man to arrive

    to the court hall so that they can start the debate, but there is no sign of the

    learned man at the moment. The visitor started to make fun of him and said to

    the king, look dear king your learned man does not have much knowledge to

    debate with us on the topics like Existence of God, and others. So it is better

    for you to reject all the false beliefs about god and other entities. King ask his

    ministers to search the learned man, meanwhile the learned man enter the

    court, as soon:

    The king saw learned man and asked in curiosity Where are you been?

    We are waiting for you since one hour.

    My dear King! said the learned man I am sorry for coming late, when

    I came near the river, there Is no ship to cross the river, hence I was waiting for

    the ship to arrive. But it wont turn back

    Did you swim and came here all that much distance of river ask the

    king in surprise tone so much distance, It is impossible to cross the river at

    your age.

    No, my king, I cannot swim said the learned man if you allow me I will

    tell you the miracle that occur to me near the shore!

    What kind of miracle? jokingly asked the visitor Let us also hear about

    a miracle

    Go ahead said the king tell to us about it

    I am waiting near the shore for the ship. Said the learned man it is

    getting delayed, I keep praying to the almighty Allah to help me cross the river.

    All of a sudden what happen is a big tree fell on the ground from its place, and

    it started to cut into pieces and slices. I keep seeing it with my own two eyes,

    they are taking the shape of Ship and finally came on the river and it faces me,

    Page 33 of 49

    so that I can board over it and cross the river. Hence I sat on the ship and cross

    the river and enter the court and now standing infront of you.

    All the visitor started to laugh loudly and making fun at the story of the

    learned man. When they clam down, the learned man asks the visitor, Dont

    you believe this fact that happen with me.

    It is impossible to believe said the visitor smiling at the learned man

    Not even a child will believe on such type of story. Can you believe a tree fell

    down itself, then it will cut into pieces one by one and then it assemble into a

    shape of a ship and it will go into the river by itself and then It will allow you to

    board over it and then without a driver, it will cross the river. Only fools can

    believe your story learned man.

    So you agree a ship cannot be made like a miracle as I said question

    the learned man is it impossible, or any possibility to occur such type of

    incident.

    No, not at all said the visitor it is impossible to believe such type

    event to occur without any person who can process such possible events one

    after other. Other wise it is a short of fairy tale usually they are illusion.

    Well, my dear king said the learned man our friend does not believeon what I just said to him about miracle and ship building events one after

    another. I had one question for him. The whole universe, stars, sun, moon,

    birds, animals, humans, every things that comes under our knowledge happen

    to come all of a sudden, like the ship that get constructed itself without any

    body crafting it or creating it. Look at your body; consider building one single

    hair of your head. Your eyes, nose, teeth, lips, heart, hands, bones, flesh,

    blood, every things that are available in your body are just came into existence

    without any body creating them. A tree grows out from one seed, and then it

    grow up and bear more seeds, it has many branches of leaves and on themcomes birds that build their nest and grow their babies, all these activities

    cannot be executed by themselves, there should be one who could create all

    such event with its power, else it is not going to be believed that all thing can

    happen by themselves. Like a ship cannot be build by itself.

    What actually you intend to tell us? asked the visitor leader be clear

    Page 34 of 49

    My dear friend said the learned man if you look at your self from the

    top till the bottom, you will discover so many things that are still unclear to

    you, consider for instance, if you stand in the mirror, you will see your

    reflection along with the surrounding, in exact position just infront of you, if

    you move two steps behind from the current position, you will observe with

    respect to mirror it is only you who keep moving but the surrounding remain in

    their original position. Now understand the mechanism of Eye functioning and

    the mirror functioning. Mirror is not just reflecting you also surrounding of

    your environment. The eye is an instrument for the power called vision, it is

    used to visualize every thing that come into the scope of its vision. There are so

    many mini organisms that are not visible to naked eye but you can view them

    with the help of microscope. Like these facts proved us there is an existence of

    the Almighty God, which is not in the scope range of our eye to visualize Him.The creator of all the things is very much visible by its creations including you

    and me.

    For Every event that occur in the universe there should be one almighty

    that could command it to get it done, other wise there will be no event. The

    five senses that are common to all of us are the powers that are gifted by the

    Almighty God, it is not happen or gain by the environment, almost all the

    human being from any corner of the world have all the five senses that means,

    all the human beings have same features no matter from where they belong

    and from which environment they belong. If there outer skin colour may differ

    in one environment to other, no matter but the colour of their blood remain to

    its original colour red.

    Almighty God presence is felt in every breathe you intake and you

    release, it is the gifted mechanism of respiration, digestion, reproduction and

    every thing, life, death and all the event that occur in you life since birth till the

    day come when you release your last breathe.

    I agree with your thoughts said the visitor let me discuss it my fellowsand then we conclude it among us, now we take the leave

    Here let me read you, the following verse of holy book Quran, think

    about these words and try to answer them in positive way, the sentence is:

    How can ye reject the faith in Allah? seeing that you were without

    life, and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die, and will again bring

    you to life; and again to Him will ye return.

    There is no way left for you to reject the faith in Almighty Allah, Is there

    any particular reason for the rejection in acceptance of the the true God, the

    Almighty Allah. The true god, every one can understand that before you born

    no one know where you are, how you look and what you are going to become

    in future, but it is mercy of Almighty Allah. It is the Allah, who has given you alife, then for the allotted time you will spend your life in this world, and then

    finally on the committed day and time, you are going to say final goodbye and

    you are a death body. After the Doom day, at the day of Judgement you are

    arise again for the account of each and every activity and on the basis you are

    allotted a place in paradise or hell.

    The need for knowing your creator is much of the concern than other

    issue, to know the creator it is important to know self also. Let me discuss with

    the mercy of Allah the almighty as much as possible because the subject is veryvast as compare to other topic of Islam, it the blessing and mercy of Allah the

    almighty that you are reading the pages regarding the discussion of Almighty

    Allah Himself.

    yourself with a person who can guide you on some topics that arise you doubt.

    Next sentence will help us more to understand about the real true andonly one God almighty Allah.

    Read the following sentence, in the bracket I kept the original translation

    also, read it again and again and make sure you remember this sentence

    before thinking something else about the almighty Allah in comparison with

    any other God.

    (He is) the Creator of the heavens and the earth: He has made for you

    pairs from among yourselves and pairs among cattle: by this means does He

    multiply you: Nothing is Similar to Him (there is nothing whatever like unto Him) and

    He is the One that hears and sees (all things).

    A god should be like this, No one can even imagine, about its shape,

    body etc. the reason is simple, If we start comparing god with human like

    body, then we can imagine Him in the form of a Man with two eyes, a nose,teeth, lips, hands, feets, and of course all parts. If resemble with human, then

    Human like features should be there, again if human, why other human are not

    god? Such type of question leads towards existence of god and finally every

    human is a god in one respect or other. All these type of questions (May

    Almighty Allah forgive us on such type of question and thoughts) keep arising

    and finally one should believe in god because ones elders believe in God so we

    are following the steps of our elders. Else reject the existence of god itself.

    Rejection is also not possible because of so many evidences that prove the

    existence of god. Hence search or quest for the Real GOD.

    From the sentence or verse it is clear that Nothing is similar to Him. By

    reading this sentence, all such arise question vanished on the spot. No

    imagination, no questions only peace of mind else Have a question then get

    the answer.

    It is conform that the existence of god is always there and His presence

    is felt in every corner of Imagination and reality, the Almighty Allah is Eternal,

    with no End, Visible via His power and Capabilities and Invisible for the eyes.

    His existence is before any thing that is living and non-living. He has created

    everything.

    Now! Let me take you to our next sentence or verse, there are totally

    three verse that I am going to discuss here, they are so unique to their nature

    because they give a good sketch about Almighty Allah, as usual I ask you to
