Al Hallaj was one of the few men who felt Allah very closely he was a legendary Iranian
Sufi master who lived in between 858 - 922 AD. Al Hallaj was one of the earliest Sufi masters, he lead his life as a dervish
wanderer, he would often go into trans where he felt one with all the creation, existence, with God. He once said "Ana al-haqq"
("I am the Truth"--i.e., God), something people at the time found offensive and could not understand, because of that. Al
Hallaj was persecuted and found guilty of heresy. He found an unfortunate and brutal death. Al Hallaj before put to death
said: Now stands no more between Truth and me Or reasoned demonstration, Or proof of revelation; Now, brightly blazing full,
Truth's lumination Each flickering, lesser light Al Hallaj inspired many subsequent Sufi mystics including Rumi. Here are
two poems where Rumi talks about al Hallaj, following is al Hallaj's poem on God. The One true God is a reflection of the unique concept that Islam associates
with God. To a Muslim, Allah is the Almighty, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, Who is similar to nothing and nothing
is comparable to Him. The Prophet Muhammad was asked by his contemporaries about Allah; the answer came directly from God
Himself in the form of a short chapter of the Quran, which is considered the essence of the unity or the motto of monotheism.
This is chapter 112 which reads: "In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Some non-Muslims allege that
God in Islam is a stern and cruel God who demands to be obeyed fully. He is not loving and kind. Nothing can be farther from
truth than this allegation. It is enough to know that, with the exception of one, each of the 114 chapters of the Quran begins
with the verse: "In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate." In one of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) we
are told that "God is more loving and kinder than a mother to her dear child." But God is also Just. Hence evildoers and sinners must have their share
of punishment and the virtuous, His bounties and favors. Actually God's attribute of Mercy has full manifestation in His attribute
of Justice. People suffering throughout their lives for His sake and people oppressing and exploiting other people all their
lives should not receive similar treatment from their Lord. Expecting similar treatment for them will amount to negating the
very belief in the accountability of man in the Hereafter and thereby negating all the incentives for a moral and virtuous
life in this world. The following Quranic verses are very clear and straightforward in this respect: "Verily, for the Righteous are gardens of Delight, in the Presence of their Lord. Shall We
then treat the people of Faith like the people of Sin? What is the matter with you? How judge you?" (68:34-36) Islam rejects characterizing
God in any human form or depicting Him as favoring certain individuals or nations on the basis of wealth, power or race. He
created the human beings as equals. They may distinguish themselves and get His favor through virtue and piety only. The concept that God rested in the seventh day of creation, that God
wrestled with one of His soldiers, that God is an envious plotter against mankind, or that God is incarnate in any human being
are considered blasphemy from the Islamic point of view. The unique usage of Allah as a personal name of God is a reflection of
Islam's emphasis on the purity of the belief in God which is the essence of the message of all God's messengers. Because of
this, Islam considers associating any deity or personality with God as a deadly sin which God will never forgive, despite
the fact He may forgive all other sins. [Note that what is meant above applies ONLY to those people who die in a state wherein they
are associating others with God. The repentance of those who yet live is acceptable to God if He wills. - MSA of USC] The Creator must be of a
different nature from the things created because if he is of the same nature as they are, he will be temporal and will therefore
need a maker. It follows that nothing is like Him. If the maker is not temporal, then he must be eternal. But if he is eternal,
he cannot be caused, and if nothing outside him causes him to continue to exist, which means that he must be self-sufficient.
And if the does not depend on anything for the continuance of his own existence, then this existence can have no end. The
Creator is therefore eternal and everlasting: "He is the First and the Last." He is Self-Sufficient or Self-Subsistent or, to use a Quranic term, Al-Qayyum.
The Creator does not create only in the sense of bringing things into being, He also preserves them and takes them out of
existence and is the ultimate cause of whatever happens to them. "God is the Creator of everything. He is the guardian over everything. Unto Him
belong the keys of the heavens and the earth." (39:62, 63) "No creature is there
crawling on the earth, but its provision rests on God. He knows its lodging place and it repository." (11:6) If the Creator is Eternal
and Everlasting, then His attributes must also be eternal and everlasting. He should not lose any of His attributes nor acquire
new ones. If this is so, then His attributes are absolute. Can there be more than one Creator with such absolute attributes?
Can there be for example, two absolutely powerful Creators? A moment's thought shows that this is not feasible. The Quran summarizes this argument in the following verses: "God has not taken to Himself any son, nor is there any god with Him: For then
each god would have taken of that which he created and some of them would have risen up over others." (23:91) And Why, were there
gods in earth and heaven other than God, they (heaven and earth) would surely go to ruin." (21:22) The Quran reminds
us of the falsity of all alleged gods. To the worshippers of man-made objects, it asks: "Do you worship what you have carved yourself?" (37:95) "Or have you taken
unto you others beside Him to be your protectors, even such as have no power either for good or for harm to themselves?" (13:16)
To the worshippers of heavenly bodies it cites the story
of Abraham: "When night outspread over him he saw a star and said, 'This is my Lord.' But when it set
he said, 'I love not the setters.' When he saw the moon rising, he said, 'This is my Lord.' But when it set he said, 'If my
Lord does not guide me I shall surely be of the people gone astray.' When he saw the sun rising, he said, 'This is my Lord;
this is greater.' But when it set he said, 'O my people, surely I quit that which you associate, I have turned my face to
Him Who originated the heavens and the earth; a man of pure faith, I am not of the idolaters.'" (6:76-79) In order to be a Muslim,
i.e., to surrender oneself to God, it is necessary to believe in the oneness of God, in the sense of His being the only Creator,
Preserver, Nourisher, etc. But this belief - later on called "Tawhid Ar-Rububiyyah" - is not enough. Many of the idolaters
knew and believed that only the Supreme God could do all this, but that was not enough to make them Muslims. To tawhid ar-rububiyyah
one must add tawhid al'uluhiyyah, i.e., one acknowledges the fact that is God alone Who deserves to be worshipped, and thus
abstains from worshipping any other thing or being. Having achieved this knowledge of the one true God, man should constantly
have faith in Him, and should allow nothing to induce him to deny truth. When faith enters a person's heart, it causes certain mental states which
result in certain actions. Taken together these mental states and actions are the proof for the true faith. The Prophet said,
"Faith is that which resides firmly in the heart and which is proved by deeds." Foremost among those mental states is the
feeling of gratitude towards God which could be said to be the essence of 'ibada' (worship). The feeling of gratitude is so important that a non-believer is called
'kafir' which means 'one who denies a truth' and also 'one who is ungrateful.' A believer loves, and is grateful to God for the bounties He bestowed
upon him, but being aware of the fact that his good deeds, whether mental or physical, are far from being commensurate with
Divine favors, he is always anxious lest God should punish him, here or in the Hereafter. He, therefore, fears Him, surrenders
himself to Him and serves Him with great humility. One cannot be in such a mental state without being almost all the time
mindful of God. Remembering God is thus the life force of faith, without which it fades and withers away. The Quran tries to promote this feeling of gratitude by repeating the
attributes of God very frequently. We find most of these attributes mentioned together in the following verses of the Quran:
"He is God; there is no god but He, He is the Knower of the unseen and the visible;
He is the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate. He is God, there is no God but He. He is the King, the All-Holy, the All-Peace,
the Guardian of Faith, the All-Preserver, the All-Mighty, the All-Compeller, the All-Sublime. Glory be to God, above that
they associate! He is God the Creator, the Maker, the Shaper. To Him belong the Names Most Beautiful. All that is in the heavens
and the earth magnifies Him; He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." (59:22-24) "There
is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting. Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens
and the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him save by His leave? He knows what lies before them and what is after
them, and they comprehend not anything of His knowledge save such as He wills. His throne comprises the heavens and earth;
the preserving of them oppresses Him not; He is the All-High, the All-Glorious." (2:255) "People
of the Book, go not beyond the bounds in your religion, and say not as to God but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary,
was only the Messenger of God, and His Word that He committed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers,
and say not, 'Three.' Refrain; better is it for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him - (He is) above having a son." (4:171 Chapter One The following is included in this idea of how Allah describes Himself
in Surat al-Ikhlas, (chapter 112) where He says: "Say He is Allah The One, Allah The Eternal. He never begot, nor was begotten.
There is none comparable to Him." And He described Himself in the greatest Ayah (verse) in His
Book (i.e., Ayat al-Kursi): "Allah, there is no god save Him, The Living, The Eternal. Neither slumber nor
sleep overtake Him. Unto Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. Who is he who intercedes with Him except
by His permission? He knows that which is before them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His Knowledge
except what He wills. His seat ( Therefore, Allah protects whoever reads this Ayah at night and
no devil can get close to him until morning. Allah has also said: "Depend on The Living One, He Who will never die." (al-Furqan 25/58). And He, the Glorified, has said: "He is The First (al-Awwal) and The Last (al-Akhir), The Outward
(as-Zahir) and The Inward (al-Batin He is The Knower of All Things."
(al-Hadid 57/3) "He knows that which goes down into the earth and that which comes out from it,
and that which descends from the heavens and that which ascends into it. He is The Merciful, The Forgiving." (Saba' 34/2) "With Him are the keys of the unknown (mafatih al-ghaib), none but He
knows them. He knows what is in the land and the sea; not a leaf falls but He knows it; not a grain amid the darkness of the
earth, naught of wet or dry but (it is recorded) in a clear record." (al-An'am 6/59) He has said: "No female conceives or gives birth except with His Knowledge." (Fatir 35/11) And He has said: "That you may know that Allah is able to do all things, and that Allah knows all
things." (at-Talaq 65/12) And He has said: "Indeed, Allah is the One Who gives livelihood, The Lord of Unbreakable Might."
(adh-Dhariyaat 51/58) And He has said: "Nothing is like Him; and He is The Hearer, The Seer." (ash-Shura 42/11) And He has said: "Lo! Comely is this which Allah admonishes you to be. Lo! Allah is ever Hearer,
Seer." (an-Nissa' 4/58) And He has said: "If only, when you entered your garden, you had said: That which Allah wills is;
There is no strength save in Allah." (al-Kahf 18/39) And He has said: "If Allah had so willed it, those who followed after them would not have fought
one with the other after clear proofs had come unto them. But they differed, some of them believing and some disbelieving.
And if Allah had so willed it, they would not have fought one with the other; But Allah does what He wills." (al-Baqarah
2/253) And He has said: "The beast of cattle is made lawful unto you [for food], except that which is
announced unto you [herein], hunting being unlawful when you are on pilgrimage; Indeed, Allah ordains that which He wills."
(al-Ma'idah 5/1) And He has said: "Of whomsoever it is Allah's will to guide, his heart He expands into Islam; And
of whomsoever it is His will to send astray, his heart He made closed and narrow as if he were engaged in sheer ascent." (al-An'am
6/125) He has said: "And do good; Indeed, Allah loves those who do good." (al-Baqarah 2/195) And He has said: "Act equitably; Indeed, Allah loves the equitable." (al-Hujurat 49/9) And He has said: "So long as they are true to you, be true to them; Indeed, Allah loves those who

you." (Al'Imran 3/31) And He has said: "Allah will redeem a people whom He loves, and who love Him." (al-Ma'idah
5/54) And He has said: "Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in ranks for His cause, as if they were a
solid structure." (as-Saff 61/4) And He has said: "He is The Forgiving, The Loving." (al-Buruj 85/14) And His saying: "In the name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful." He has said: "Our Lord! You comprehended all things in mercy and Knowledge." (al-Mu'min
40/7) And He has said: "He is Merciful to the believers." (al-Ahzab 33/43) And He has said: "My Mercy has embraced all things." (al-A'raf 7/156) And He has said: "Your Lord has prescribed for Himself Mercy." (al-An'am 6/54) And He has said: "He is The Forgiving, The Merciful."

who show mercy." (Yusuf 12/64) He has said: "Allah takes pleasure in them and they in Him." (al-Ma'idah 5/119) And He has said: "Whoever slays a believer intentionally, his reward is Hell for ever. Allah's
wrath is against him and He has cursed him." (an-Nissa' 4/93) And He has said: "That will come to be because they followed that which angered Allah, and shunned
that which pleases Him." (Muhammad 47/28) And He has said: "When they angered Us, We punished them." (az-Zakhruf 43/55) And He has said: "But Allah was adverse to their being sent forth and held them back." (at-Tawbah
9/46) And He has said: "It is most hateful in the Sight of Allah that you say that which you do not."
(as-Saff 61/3) He has said: "Will they wait until Allah comes to them in canopies of clouds, with the angels?
Then the case will have been already judged." (al-Baqarah 2/210) And He has said: "Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them? Or your Lord [Himself]? Or
some of the Signs of your Lord? That Day Signs of your Lord will come." (al-An'am 6/158) And He has said: "Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder, then your Lord will come and the angels
will come rank upon rank." (al-Fajr 89/21-22) And He has said: "A day will come when the heaven and the clouds will be rent asunder and the angels
will be sent down in a grand descent." (al-Furqan 25/25) He has said: "Only the Face of your Lord of Might and Glory will remain." (ar-Rahman 55/27) And He has said: "Everything will perish save His Face." (al-Qasas 28/88) And He has said: "What kept you (Iblis) from falling prostrate before that which I have created
with My Hands." (Sad 38/75) And He has said: "The Jews said: Allah's Hand is tied.' May their hands be tied and may they be
accursed for the [blasphemy] they utter. Rather, both His Hands are widely outstretched; He gives and spends as He pleases."
(al-Ma'idah 5/64) He has said: "Wait patiently for the Command of your Lord, [O Muhammad], for verily you are
in Our Eyes." (at-Tur 52/48) And He has said: "We carried him [Nuh] on an [ark] made of planks and nails; It floats under Our
Eyes, as a reward for him who was rejected." (al-Qamar 54/13-14) And He said: "I have maintained you [Musa] with My Love that you might be reared under My Eye."
(Ta Ha 20/39) He has said: "Allah has indeed heard her who argued with you [O Muhammad] concerning her husband,
and who complained unto Allah; Allah hears the argument between both of you; Indeed, Allah is Hearer,Seer." (al-Mujadalah
58/1) And He has said: "Verily, Allah heard the saying of those [the Jews] who said: Allah is poor and
we are rich." (Al'Imran 3/181) And He has said: "Do they think that We do not hear their secrets and their private counsels? Indeed
[We do], and Our Messengers are by them to record all." (az-Zakhruf 43/80) He has said: "Indeed, I will be with you [Musa and Harun], Hearing and Seeing." (Ta Ha

belongs Dominion; To Him belongs Praise; He is Able to do all things." (at-Taghabun 64/1) And He has said: "Blessed is He Who sent down the Criterion [al-Furqan] to His Servant
[Muhammad], that He may warn all creatures. He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, no son has He begotten;
Nor has He any partner in His Dominion. It is He Who created all things and ordered them in due proportions." (al-Furqan
25/1-2) And He has said: "Allah did not beget a son; Nor is there any god along with Him; Otherwise each
god would have taken away what he had created and some of them would have lorded over others. May Allah, Be Glorified above
all that they allege. He knows what is hidden and what is exposed. May He Be Exalted over all that they ascribe as partners
[to Him]." (al-Mu'minun 23/91-92) And He has said: "Do not invent similitudes for Allah; Indeed, Allah knows and you know not." (an-Nahl
16/74) And He has said: "Say: My Lord forbids only indecencies whether open or secret, sin and wrongful

the Throne." Allah repeated this theme six times in the Qur'an. He has said: "Verily! Your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six days;

and that I may climb up to the God of Moses, though verily I think he [Moses] is a liar." (Ghafir 40/36-37) And He has said: "Do you feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not cause you to be swallowed
up by the earth when it shakes? Or do you feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a wind casting down
pebbles from the sky? That is that you may know the manner of My Warning." (al-Mulk 67/16-17) And He has said: "He created the heavens and the earth in six days; Then He Mounted the Throne.
He knows all that enters the earth and all that emerges there from and all that comes down from the sky and all that ascends
therein; He is with you wherever you may be. And Allah is Seer of what you do." (al-Hadid 57/4) And He has said: "There is no secret conference of three but He is their fourth, nor of five but
He is their sixth, nor of less or more but He is with them wherever they be: And afterward, on the Day of Resurrection, He
will inform them of what they did. Indeed, Allah is Knower of All Things." (al-Mujadalah 58/7) And He has said addressing Abu Bakr in the cave during the Hijrah:

to distort it knowingly after they understood it." (al-Baqarah 2/75) And He has said : "They wish to change God's Words (kalam); Say: You shall not follow us.'
Thus Allah said (qala) before hand." (al-Fath 48/15) And He has said: "Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord; None can change

what He reveals-they say: You are but a fabricator; But most of them know not. Say: The Trustworthy Spirit (i.e., Gabriel)
has brought it (The Qur'an) from your Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as Guidance and
Good Tidings for Muslims. We know well that they say: It is a man who teaches him; The language of him they falsely point
to is notably foreign, while this is Arabic, pure and clear." (an-Nahl 16/101-103) He has said: "Some faces, That Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty), looking toward their

Whoever studies the Qur'an carefully searching for guidance from it, the truthful path will be clear to him. *According to some interpretations: "They See Allah's face."
