! احمد علی بیگ ?Who is God

Who is God?

According to the Vedas, Upanishads, Gita, Bible and in the Light of Glorious Qur'aan.

In this Universe, there are innumerable number of creations of which human is the most superior. When compared to these innumerable creations, human being is gifted with the intellect and faculty of thinking. He is blessed with the abilities to THINK, DISCOVER AND REFLECT. 

ALMIGHTY GOD has made the entire creation for the benefit of human kind but He has created the human being: 

• To identify Him without seeing Him by seeing His creations;
• To recognize Him with His Unique Attributes;
• To worship Him alone without associating any partner;

The main difference between human being and other creations is intellect and faculty of thinking. Almighty GOD has given a special status to Human beings so that he can use his faculty of thinking to identify his CREATOR through the signs which are visible in His creations, recognize Him with His Unique attributes, and worship Him alone without associating any partner. This is the prime purpose of human creation and in this cause, whether he will be successful or will be a failure is the TEST for the entire human kind. 

To know the real concept of GOD, we need to understand the unique attributes of Him. In this regard, holy books are the only true of authentication. 

IS THE CREATOR-ONE, THE ONLY ONE?

Is the God One? On the other hand, are they many? If you are asked this question, then what will be your answer? Undoubtedly, you shall answer that there is only One God.

For any system should be one, The only one. Then, How can the affairs of such a vast universe be managed by more than One God? Definitely not. Our inner heart will witness that the Lord of this entire universe "IS THE ONE, THE ONLY ONE"

All the Authentic Holy Scriptures authenticate this unique message "THE GOD IS ONE, THE ONLY ONE"

In Vedas "AUM" In Bible "YAHOVA"; In QUR'AN  "ALLAH".

GOD      - Unborn - Invisible - Never Dies 

 IS ONE - He has different names identified by His attributes but never takes different forms  -  He has no Idol and has no image None can be compared unto Him.

There is a pious relationship between Creator and Human being.  The basic need of this pure relationship is to identify recognize and to worship Him alone.  The biggest sin of humankind is to associate partners unto Him which exploits the pure relationship with Him. 

Prayer:  "Oh Our Creator! Show us the righteous path which will bless us with peace and success in this world and bless us with the eternal home of paradise in the here after and save us from going to astray. (Oh Lord! Accept our prayer and make this to come true!)"
