“Allah” is the Arabic word for God and is used predominantly by Muslims to refer to the one true God in Islam. In Islamic theology, Allah is considered to be the sole deity, transcendent, beyond comprehension, and without partners. Muslims believe that Allah is the creator and sustainer of the universe, possessing attributes of mercy, justice, and omnipotence. Allah is also believed to have revealed his guidance to humanity through prophets, with the final revelation being the Quran, which Muslims believe to be the literal word of God as conveyed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
