(٢١)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?The T<strong>or</strong>ah also mentions the w<strong>or</strong>d “God” and it refers to Judges,because they Judge acc<strong>or</strong>ding to Allah’s (S.W) Law. “But if theservant shall plainly say… then h<strong>is</strong> master shall bring himto God, and shall bring him to the do<strong>or</strong>.”(Ex.21:5-6)In the next chapter of the same book, we read, “If the thief <strong>is</strong> notfound, the owner of the house shall come near to God toshow whether <strong>or</strong> not he has put h<strong>is</strong> hand to h<strong>is</strong> neighb<strong>or</strong>'sproperty… The <strong>one</strong> whom God condemns shall pay doubleto h<strong>is</strong> neighb<strong>or</strong>.” (Ex.22: 8-9)In the Book of Deuteronomy, we read, “then both parties to thed<strong>is</strong>pute shall appear bef<strong>or</strong>e the LORD, bef<strong>or</strong>e the priests”(Duet. 19:17)In the Book of Psalms, “God stands in the congregation ofGod; He judges among the gods. How long will you judgeunjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked?”(Psalms82:1) It <strong>is</strong> clear that th<strong>is</strong> passage talks about the Judges and thenoble Israelites.The use of th<strong>is</strong> w<strong>or</strong>d has spread even further to call all the Israelites,as menti<strong>one</strong>d in Psalms. “I said, you are gods, and all of yousons of the Most High. Nevertheless you shall die like men.”(Psalms 82:6) Th<strong>is</strong> passage <strong>is</strong> what Jesus (PBUH) quoted while hewas speaking to the Jews. “Jesus an<strong>sw</strong>ered them, Is it notwritten in your law, I said, you are gods? If he called themgods, to whom the w<strong>or</strong>d of God came, and the scripturecannot be broken; Say you of him, whom the Father hassanctified, and sent to the w<strong>or</strong>ld, you blasphemes; becauseI said, I am the Son of God?” (John 10:34)The Holy Books continue in giving these names even to devils andnations’ false gods. Not only that Paul called the devil god, but alsothe belly. He said about the devil: “In whom the god of th<strong>is</strong>w<strong>or</strong>ld had blinded the minds of them which believe not, lestthe light of the gl<strong>or</strong>ious gospel of Chr<strong>is</strong>t.” (C<strong>or</strong>.2 4:4)He said the following about people who follow their desires: “whoseGod <strong>is</strong> their belly, and whose gl<strong>or</strong>y <strong>is</strong> in their shame.” (Phi.3:19)
