Why God has a name in Islam?

Now (in this era) the word god is used for many things, including idols and people (prophet Jesus (pbuh), Mary (pbuh), Buddha… etc). Every religion claims to have the God on their side, and everyone claims to have the right God. Be it idol or human being.

What we Muslims say is, “Our God is not same as yours, our God is Allah”. This is said best in the Quran:

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

Say : O ye that reject Faith! I worship not that which ye worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship.

And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship. To you be your Way, and to me mine.

Surah: Al-Kafiroon (unbelievers)

Therefore, Allah is different from all the other gods, in fact all those so called “gods” are all creations. Allah is the God, He is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, He is the Creator of the Universe, He is the Creator of all Human Beings, He is the God of Adam, David, Moses, Joshua, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and our beloved prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and all the prophets).

So how long will you be worshipping the creation instead of the Creator? Come and join the right path and be one of the victorious. Verily the punishment of Allah is most severe!

    I have actually left islam because it says that those mushriks will also go to Hell who were never given the message of islam in their entire lifetime. God is just, so i cant believe that He would punish a mushrik if he didnt know that shirk is a sin. The 2 reasons why i follow Christianity are the prophecies regarding Jesus in the Old Testament(Torah) before Jesus’s birth, and the miracles (supernatural healings of diseases, men seeing visions, men still being able to prophesy,etc) in the Church even today. Muslims generally believe that although God did many miracles through Moses,Jesus, etc, He is not doing miracles today and that the miracles claimed by christians today are fake. I just wanted to ask that why would God who is fully capable of performing miracles, stop performing them in today’s age for no proper reason? i think that miracles dont happen to muslims not because God has stopped performing miracles today, but because God doesnt want to misguide them. If He starts performing miracles among muslims then they would reason that since islam is correct,thats why God is giving them signs through these miracles.. I continue to see miracles in the Church in which i go to pray..

    utkarsh, i doubt that you were muslim before, but anyway… To correct you, in Islam, if the message of Islam didn’t reach someone then Islam doesn’t say he or she will go to Hell for sure. No, he or she will be judged based on his or her good deeds and then will be decided where is his/her destination, Hell or Paradise. But let’s be honest, today it’s very unlikely that someone might not hear about Islam. Even if he or she didn’t hear about Islam then most probably it’s because of his/her own ignorance. But if it is a genuine case then Allah knows best what will be his/her destiny.

    that christinaity will end soon when our prophet, jesus peace be upon him comes back.

    Book 37, Number 4310: Narrated AbuHurayrah: dawud
    The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace_be_upon_him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.

    Mr. Utkarsh what a lier are you first a muslim who knows about islam can never change his/he religion.
    2. your name itself suggest that u are niether a muslim nor a christian becaus e whenever a person change his/her religion changes his name too, if you have changed religion ur name must be a christian name or if u didn’t change ur name with ur religion it should have been sound like a muslim but ur name is pure hindu kayastha name means either u have changed ur religion from hindu to christian or u r telling extreme lie.
    3 about muslim miracles visit any dargah specialy gharib nawaz at ajmer sharif this is the power of muslim saint which attrects all king or slave from all religion. while u rarely find any true muslim visiting any temple with devotion those rare visit they visit as a history or architectural tourist.

    Utkarsh (and others like him who argue that nonsense) should read the following article and then come back and comment WITH PROOF of what they are arguing. Read this article:
