Questions & Answers


No. “Allah” is simply the Arabic word for God — the same one God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians use the word “Allah” too. Islam describes that one God through the teaching of the Qur’an.

Because the Qur’an was revealed in Arabic, and “Allah” is the Arabic name for the one God. It has no plural and no gender, reflecting the belief that God is one and beyond human likeness.

Yes. Among Allah’s names are Al-Wadud (the Most Loving) and Ar-Rahman (the Most Compassionate). The Qur’an teaches that His mercy encompasses all things and that He welcomes everyone who turns to Him.

Muslims honor Jesus (‘Isa) as a great prophet and messenger of God, born miraculously of the Virgin Mary. Belief in him is part of Islamic faith. Islam understands him as a prophet rather than divine, in keeping with its central teaching of the oneness of God.

In Islam these are not in conflict. Allah is perfectly just — He wrongs no one — yet His mercy comes first and runs ahead of His justice. He is quick to forgive all who sincerely turn back to Him.
