Allah

Lord of the Worlds

Allah is the supreme, uncreated deity and absolute ontological ground of existence within Arabic monotheism and Islamic theology. Signifying ultimate transcendence, omniscience, and unshared sovereignty, Allah creates the universe ex nihilo, governs celestial hierarchies of angels, issues prophetic revelations, and serves as the ultimate arbiter of cosmic and human destiny.

In Islam, Allah is the singular, unpartnered Creator of heaven and earth, characterized by absolute Tawhid. Transcending all physical form while sustaining every atom, Allah commands archangels such as Jibril and Mikail, reveals divine scripture to prophets, and presides over final resurrection and judgment, admitting souls to Paradise or Hell entirely according to divine decree, mercy, and justice.

Surah al-Ikhlas (112:1-4) defines Allah as the absolute, indivisible One who neither begets nor is begotten, establishing the theological bedrock of Tawhid. Classical commentators such as al-Tabari note that this passage explicitly refutes polytheistic association (shirk) and trinitarian filial relations.
