Who is Allah?


Allah is الرزاق the Provider
For every person on the earth, for every animal on the land, for every bird in the sky, for every fish in the ocean, for everything that has life, even for the smallest worm under the ground, Allah provides food, shelter, protection, family and all other needs. He never forgets any one of His creation.   

Three ways Allah shows mercy:
  • Allah treats us with great kindness and compassion 
  • He answers our prayers and takes care of all our needs. 
  • He is very patient and forgiving   

Who is Allah pleased with?
Allah is pleased with those who have mercy and those who are forgiving

How can we earn Allah’s mercy? 
Be merciful to all of His creatures, and Allah will be merciful to you. 

What are the favours of Allah upon us? 
Allah has given us all that we have, the gift of sight, hearing, smell and feeling, speaking, breathing and writing etc

How can we thank Allah for His favours upon us?
  • Become good Muslims (follow the 5 pillars of Islam)
  • Remember Him and Praise Him (do Tasbeeh)
  • Worship Allah alone and turn only to Him for help.

  1. Nothing is hidden from Allah.
    Allah is السميع البصير العليم الشهيد All-Hearing, All-Seeing, All-Knowing and the Witness to all that we say and do.
    -Out of respect and love for Allah, we should only do deeds which please Him and distance ourselves from things which make Allah upset. This is also a form of worship.
    -We will get reward if we obey Allah, and keep our thoughts and actions pure and good, and be sinful, if we keep our thoughts and actions immoral and bad.
    -Going to Paradise or Hellfire is based on our thoughts and actions and Allah’s forgiveness and mercy.

  2. What is ehsaan?
    Ehsaan means perfection.
    It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for if you can’t see Him, surely He sees you.
