The Arabic word for God is Allah. The word Allah is a unique it has no gender form and can not be pluralized. Islam is based on the concept of the One God (Tawhid). Muslims are strictly monotheistic and must reject idol worship and associating partners to God. The concept of God as explained in Qu’ran chapter 30 verse 112:
“Allah is One, the Absolute, the Eternal, Allah begets not nor was Allah begotten and there is no one like Allah”
Therefore a Muslim will not deny that there is a Creator, nor associate partners to Allah, since this would be a grave sin, and violation of the basic tenet of the Unity of God (Tawhid).
Muslims make a conscious effort to remember Allah at all time and would recite the following verse from the Qu’ran before doing anything: “In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate the Most Merciful”.
