CAN THERE BE ANOTHER GOD?
27:60 - (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay they are a people who swerve from justice.
32933294
3293 The order, beauty, and grandeur of the Universe are appealed to. They show unity of design and purpose. How can
unjust, ignorant, foolish, heedless, false men think of a multiplicity of gods, or of any god, besides the One True God?
(27.60)
3294 To make a single seed germinate and grow into a tree is beyond man's power. When it comes to a great well-laid-out
garden of beauty and delight, no one would think it grew up of itself without a Gardener's consummate art. And the
orchard is more than the trees in it: there is design and beauty in their arrangement: proper spaces have to be left
between them for the growth of their roots, for the aeration of the soil beneath them, and for the penetration of air and
sunlight between their branches. How can any one then think of the wonderful Universe as a whole, without thinking of
the far higher Unity of Design, the evidence of the One True Allah? (27.60)
27:61 -(Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay most of them know not. 32953296
27:62 -(Can there be another) god besides Allah? Little it is that ye heed! 32973298
3297 Besides the evidence of external nature, there is the still more intimate evidence in man's inner conscience and heart.
Allah listens to man's cry of agony and relieves his suffering, and He has given him superiority over other creation on
this earth, through his mind and soul. Is man then going to run after inferior beings and forget Allah? (27.62
27:63 -(Can there be another) god besides Allah? high is Allah above what they associate with
Him! 3299
3299 Cf. xxv. 48, n. 3104. After external nature, our attention was drawn to our inner consciousness; after that, it is drawn
here to our social and collective life, in which we use the forces of nature for international intercourse, trade,
agriculture, production, and economic well-being generally. In the next verse, we are asked to contemplate creation
from its primeval stages, through its intermediate processes, to the final Destiny in a new Creation-a new heaven and
a new earth. (27.63)
27:64 -(Can there be another) god besides Allah? Say "Bring forth your argument if ye are telling
the truth!" 330033013302
3302 All the arguments point to the Unity of Allah: there is none whatever against it. (27.64)
Sahih Muslim Hadith
Hadith 4646 Narrated by
AbuQatadah
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stood up among them (his companions) to deliver his sermon, in which he told
them that Jihad in the cause of Allah and belief in Allah (with all His Attributes) were the most meritorious of acts. A man
stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, do you think that if I am killed in the cause of Allah, my sins will be blotted out from
me? The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Yes, in the case where you are killed in the way of Allah, you were
patient and sincere and you always fought facing the enemy, never turning your back upon him. Then he added: What have
you said (now)? (Wishing to have further assurance from him for his satisfaction), he asked (again): Do you think if I am killed
in the say of Allah, all my sins will be obliterated from me? The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) Said: Yes, if you
were patient and sincere, and always fought facing the enemy, never turning your back upon him, (all your lapses shall be
forgiven) except debt. Gabriel has told me this.
Fiqh-us-Sunnah
Fiqh 4.99
ADH-DHIKR
All words of praise and glory to Allah, extolling His Perfect Attributes of Power and Majesty, Beauty and Sublimeness,
whether one utters them by tongue or says them silently in one's heart, are known as dhikr or remembrance of Allah. He has
commanded us to remember Him always and ever. The Qur'an says: O you who believe! Celebrate the praises of Allah, and
do so often; and glorify Him morning and evening. Qur'an 33.41
If anyone remembers Allah, He remembers that person: "Remember me, I shall remember you." Qur'an 2.152 In a hadith
qudsi, the Prophet, peace be upon him, narrated: "Allah says: 'I am to my servant as he expects of Me, I am with him when
he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in his heart, I remember him to Myself, and if he remembers me in an assembly, I
mention him in an assembly better than his, and if he draws nearer to Me a hand's span, I draw nearer to him an arm's
length, and if he draws nearer to Me an arm's length, I draw nearer to him a fathom length, and if he comes to me walking, I
rush to him at [great] speed. (Bukhari and Muslim)
Allah has bestowed a special distinction upon those who remember Him. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "The
devotees have surpassed all." They asked, "Who are these exceptional people (Mufarridun), O Prophet of Allah?" He replied,
"Those men and women who remember Allah unceasingly." (Muslim) These are the people who are really alive. Abu Musa
reported, "The likeness of the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not remember Him is like that of a living to
a dead person.'' (Bukhari)
