Umar ibn al-Khattab narrates a conversation with a man who turned out to be Jibril, the angel who came to teach the Prophet Muhammad about Islam. The conversation covers the importance of Islam, faith, and charity, and their significance in achieving happiness and success in this world and the hereafter. This talk is considered a great explanation of the basics of religion and is relevant to all people regardless of their background or beliefs.
The term 'Allah' is used in Islam to refer to the one and only universal God or Creator and Provider of the universe. It is not just a meaning of God, but also a personal name for God, establishing a personal touch between the human being and the creator. The term Allah is not subject to plurality, emphasizing the purity of Islamic monotheism. This article aims to clarify the concept of God in Islam and dispel misconceptions about Allah being a tribal Arabian God or the 'God of Muslims'.
The article discusses the various names and appellations given to Muhammad in the Quran, including prophet, messenger, servant of God, and more. It also explores the sources for Muhammad's life, including the Quran and early biographies.
