Belief in ALLAH: Islamic Creed Series

Belief in ALLAH is a foundational work in the Islamic Creed Series, addressing the core concept of faith in the Creator. While most people believe in a Supreme Being, their understandings often differ. Islam, through the Qur’an and Sunnah, affirms the existence and Oneness of Allah, describing Him with the most perfect attributes. This enables believers to develop a proper understanding of their Lord and to establish a strong, meaningful relationship with Him.

Dr. ‘Umar S. al-Ashqar explores the misconceptions and distorted ideas about Allah and His attributes that have crept into Muslim thought due to the influence of philosophy and foreign ideologies. He emphasizes that the only correct way to understand the verses of the Qur’an and the hadiths concerning Allah is to follow the understanding of the first generations of Muslims (the Salaf).

The book also addresses modern concepts, such as the theory of evolution, and demonstrates their incompatibility with Islamic teachings. Following the Qur’anic command to reflect on the signs of Allah in the universe, Dr. Al-Ashqar highlights natural phenomena that clearly point to the existence and Oneness of the Almighty Creator.

At its heart, this book affirms the principle of Tawheed—the Absolute Oneness of Allah—which is central to Islamic faith and practice. It is an essential resource for anyone seeking a clear and authentic understanding of belief in Allah.
