Nature of God
What is the nature of God? Belief in God shapes the way people live their lives. Belief in God gives people something to hope for, someone to believe in, no matter what their situation in life might be. The early Aztecs believed that only their rain god Tlaloc could relieve their farms from severe droughts. Today, Muslims and Christians believe that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will bring peace on earth. Since the beginning of time, people have always wondered if a greater power (or powers) exists. In this essay, I intend to give my opinion (from the Islamic point of view) on who God is, what His rights are over all created things, and what rights His creation has.Who is God? The belief in one God forms the most fundamental concept of Islam. According to the Quran, God is "the Lord of the Worlds, the Master of the Day of Judgment," (Surah 1, 1:2) Other characteristics of God can be found in the Qur'an such as the Most Gracious, the Mos
What rights does God's creation have? In the Quran, God has guaranteed for His creation that they will enter one of two places in the life hereafter, heaven or hell. Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong. " [al-Nisa' 4:122] On the other hand, for those who disbelieve, he says, ""Allaah has promised the hypocrites, men and women, and the disbelievers, the Fire of Hell, therein shall they abide. t Merciful, the All-Forgiving, the All-Knowing, the Giver of Life, the Creator of Death, and the list goes on. God is a perfect being; therefore it makes sense that humans, his imperfect creation, cannot fully comprehend his essence due to our limited mental capacities. By understanding the nature of He who created us, I feel that this worship makes more sense. God says, ""But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, We shall admit them to the Gardens under which rivers flow (i. " [al-Tawbah 9:68] The creation's rights are that they will be judged based on their belief in God and the deeds that they performed in this life. I feel that this life is only a series of tests of worship. That which He has created has one sole purpose of being: to worship God. These 5 pillars ensure the proper worship of God in every aspect of life. The pillars do not stand alone; building off of these pillars is imperative to proper worship in Islam. His mercy alone allows His creation to thrive in this universe.
