Almighty Allah created the entire universe and everything in it from nothing. All living things in this world are born and die, and everything has an allotted life span. There is nothing in the universe that will not cease to exist nor any living thing that is immortal. As revealed in the Qur’an, Allah is the First and the Last (Surat al-Hadid, 3). He has no beginning and no end. Allah, Lord of the Worlds, is the lord of all infinity and above time and space. He existed before all things and will exist after them.
Everything that lives will one day cease to live and return to the earth. The universe will one day come to an end. It is our Almighty Lord Who is immortal and Who will exist for ever. Infinity lies in Him alone.
Allah, the Creator of the entire universe, living or inanimate, is the “Hayy,” He Who is always alive, Who controls all things at all moments, the omniscient, the all-powerful, He Who is unfettered by deficiency. No servant has any power to do anything unless Allah so wills, and cannot remain in this world for a second longer than Allah wills. Almighty Allah reveals in the verses of the Qur’an that there is no other god than Him:
Your God is One God. There is no god but Him, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful. (Surat al-Baqara, 163)
Allah bears witness that there is no god but Him, as do the angels and the people of knowledge, upholding justice. There is no god but Him, the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 18)
Allah says, “Do not take two gods. He is only One God. So dread Me alone.” (Surat an-Nahl, 51)
Say: “He is Allah, Absolute Oneness." (Surat al-Ikhlas, 1)
He is Allah. There is no god but Him. Praise be to Him in this world and the Hereafter. Judgment belongs to Him. You will be returned to Him. (Surat al-Qasas, 70)
Islam is a monotheistic faith. Muslims with a sincere devotion to Allah believe, as required in Islam, IN THE ONENESS OF ALLAH, THAT HE IS THE SOLE LORD of the earth and sky and all that lies between, and that THERE IS NO OTHER CREATOR THAN ALLAH. According to the Qur’an, those who ascribe equals to Allah, who slander Him saying that Allah “had a son,” (surely Allah is beyond that) or who fail to properly appreciate His might are making a terrible error. Allah reveals the position of such people in the Qur’an:
They say, “Allah has a son.” Glory be to Him! He is the Rich Beyond Need. Everything in the heavens and everything on the earth belongs to Him. Have you authority to say this or are you saying about Allah what you do not know? (Surah Yunus, 68)
And say: “Praise be to Allah Who has had no son and Who has no partner in His Kingdom and Who needs no one to protect Him from abasement.” And proclaim His Greatness repeatedly! (Surat Al-Isra’, 111)
But those who believe have greater love for Allah. If only you could see those who do wrong at the time when they see the punishment, and that truly all strength belongs to Allah, and that Allah is severe in punishment. (Surat al-Baqara, 165)
The Oneness of Allah in Judaism:
Devout Jews, sincerely devoted to Allah are, according to the Qur’an, our brothers entrusted to us by Allah. Muslims have a responsibility to protect the People of the Book and establish a climate of peace and security throughout their lives. That is because they have a true faith in Allah and believe in His Oneness.
Judaism is a divine faith that adheres to Oneness of Allah as described in the Qur’an. In Islam and Judaism the Oneness of Allah is expressed by the word “ahad,” meaning “singleness.” Just like Muslims, Jews express the “Oneness” of Allah in their prayers. Devout Jews are our brothers who believe in the Oneness of Allah, scrupulously avoid ascribing equals to Him, praise Allah with all their hearts and believe in the existence of the Hereafter, the prophets, Paradise and hell with all their hearts. The powerful bond of love and brotherhood between the worthy Rabbi Menachem Froman, who has been to Istanbul as Adnan Oktar’s guest, and Adnan Oktar himself is one of the finest manifestations of this. As Almighty Allah has promised, the stronger this union grows, the stronger belief in Allah will become and eventually rule the entire world.
The Oneness of Allah is described as follows in the Torah:
I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from Me there is no God… so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting men may know there is none besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other. (Isaiah, 45:5-6)
…I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me. (Isaiah, 46:9)
So that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there is no other. (1. Kings, 8:60)
"Turn to Me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. (Isaiah, 45:22)
This is what the Lord says: …'Surely God is with you, and there is no other; there is no other god.' (Isaiah, 45:14)
The Lord our God, the Lord is one. (Deuteronomy, 6:4)

"O Lord Almighty … You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. (Isaiah, 37:16)
… so that all kingdoms on earth may know that You alone, O Lord, are God. (Isaiah, 37:20)
This is what the Lord says your Redeemer, Who formed you in the womb: I am the Lord, Who has made all things, Who alone stretched out the heavens, Who spread out the earth by Myself. (Isaiah, 44:24)
Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, Who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him. (Isaiah, 64:4)
For this is what the Lord says— He Who created the heavens, He is God; He Who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— He says: "I am the Lord, and there is no other.” (Isaiah, 45:18)
… Who foretold this long ago, Who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the Lord ? And there is no God apart from Me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but Me. (Isaiah, 45:21)
"See now that I myself am He! There is no god besides Me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal… (Deuteronomy, 32:39)
… so that you may know there is no one like the Lord our God. (Exodus, 8:10)
"O Lord... there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below. (1 Kings, 8:23)
Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, "LORD, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty..." (2 Chronicles, 14:11)
I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. (Isaiah, 43:11)
There is no one like you, O LORD, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. (1 Chronicles, 17:20)
There is no one holy [a] like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God. (1 Samuel, 2:2)
His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed? (Job, 9:4)
For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God. (Psalms, 86:10)
Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. (Psalms, 150:2)
You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you. (Nehemiah, 9:6)
They will say of me, 'In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.' (Isaiah, 45:24)
You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is God; besides him there is no other. (Deuteronomy, 4:35)
... Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one." (Isaiah, 44:8)
The Alliance among All Believers in Allah Will Prepare a Glorious Ground for the Time of Hazrat Mahdi (as)
The alliance to be established between all those who truly believe in the existence and Oneness of Allah, the Hereafter, the Day of Judgment, the prophets, the angels and Paradise and Hell will eliminate all the vile activities of atheism, Darwinism and materialism, which are all opposed to belief in Allah, and will further strengthen believers. By Allah’s leave, the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is close at hand. This blessed period will be one in which Allah's name will be remembered as One and Only in the entire world. As this holy time approaches, we must prepare the way for the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) as the vanguard of his time and strive to spread and strengthen belief in Allah across the world. And to that end, we must all act as one. Certainly, Allah is He who stands in need of nothing and does what He wants when He wants. The efforts to be made by all believers to strengthen faith in Allah is an excellent prayer. There is no doubt that Almighty Allah is He who will keep His promise.
Muslims’ call to the People of the Book, they who believe in the one Allah, is revealed thus in a verse:
Say, “People of the Book! come to a proposition which is the same for us and you – that we should worship none but Allah and not associate any partners with Him and not take one another as lords besides Allah.”(Surah Al ‘Imran, 64)
