(٩٢)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?knowledge of Him, in <strong>or</strong>der to prevent them thinking that theirex<strong>is</strong>tence <strong>is</strong> useless.” 1Acc<strong>or</strong>ding to th<strong>is</strong>, the reason f<strong>or</strong> Allah’s (S.W) incarnation <strong>is</strong> f<strong>or</strong>humankind to know their God and to destroy the gap between theCreat<strong>or</strong> and the creation. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> what Snout menti<strong>one</strong>d in h<strong>is</strong> book“The Original Chr<strong>is</strong>tianity”, as he said, “there <strong>is</strong> an endless big gap,…. In addition, if God did not begin and amend the matter, it wouldremain the same.

Such <strong>is</strong>sues do notoccur with w<strong>is</strong>e people, how could we accept them f<strong>or</strong> Allah (S.W)?1 - Chr<strong>is</strong>t in the Quran, The T<strong>or</strong>ah and the Gospel, Abdul Kareem el Khateeb, pp 158-1602 - ibid, 130-132, 160-170
