Answer:
What is la ilaaha
illalaah
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad
(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Question: plz...give me a detail answer of.."LA LILLAH ILLLALLAH
"meaning "There is nothing except ALLAH"......
Dear and beloved brother in Islam, the only script that
truly and surely does justice in explaining in detail the true meaning and
exact implications of this majestic truth of ‘Laa ilaaha illalaah’ is the text
of the Glorious Quran Alone! Allah is
our witness brother, no other text or script or document other than the Glorious
Quran can truly do justice to the meaning of this Supreme and Absolute Truth of
the Absolute Oneness of Allah Subhanah, the Lord and Creator of everything in
existence. Even a basic reading of the
Glorious Quran with understanding will explain the vast meaning and
implications of this superb truth of a phrase: ‘Laa ilaaha illalaah’, for there
is not a page or a paragraph in the Glorious Quran which does not point to the
Truth of the Absolute Oneness of Allah Subhanah.
Such is the paramount importance and vast implications of
this majestic phrase, that the Lord Most High Revealed His Books and sent His
Messengers to explain this Supreme Truth to mankind!
Such is the paramount importance and vast implications of
this majestic phrase, that this Phrase forms the absolute first and unshakeable
pillar of the
Such is the paramount importance and vast implications of
this majestic phrase, that on its belief alone depends the salvation of each
and every individual in the Hereafter!
Thus we do hope that you will understand our limitations
in explaining this superb phrase in all its detail and all its glory in this
short article. What we can do here is
give you the literal meaning of the term and phrase, and a very very basic
explanation of its meaning and implications.
The Arabic term ‘Illah’ means a god (small ‘g’) or a deity
which is worshipped; and the term ‘Allah’ or ‘Al-Ilaah’ means The One Deity Who
Alone deserves to be worshipped.
Thus ‘Laa ilaaha illalaah’ literally means: ‘There is no
deity (worthy of worship) except Allah (Alone)’.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 13 Surah
Raad verse 16:
16 Say: "Who is the ‘Rabb’ (Lord and Sustainer) of the heavens and
the earth?" Say: "It is Allah." Say: "Do ye then take (for
worship) others than Him such as have no power either for good or for harm to
(even) themselves?" Say: "Are
the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with
Light?" Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created (anything) as
He has created so that the creation seemed to them similar? Say: "Allah is the Creator of all
things: He is the One, The Supreme and The Irresistible."
None in creation can dispute that there is Only One
Supreme and Majestic Being Who Created, but the ignorant have invented other
names, images, and deities for their worship without any right or
authority. The Lord Creator Who Created
is the same Lord Who Sustains and Provides for everything in creation, and thus
He Alone has the sole Right that His creation worship none save Him and Him
Alone!
All the other self-invented ‘ilaahs’ (gods), deities,
images and names which people worship have absolutely no power or strength, for
they themselves are created! Thus they
have absolutely no right that they should be worshipped. Allah Subhanah Alone is the Creator,
Sustainer, and Cherisher of everything that exists in existence, and therefore
He and He Alone has the Sole Right that He Alone should be worshipped.
Your
Statement: i strongly beleive this that ALLAH is everywhere
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anaam verses 59-62:
59 With Him (Allah) are the keys of the Unseen the treasures that none
knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever
there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His
knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor
anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a Record Clear.
60 It is He Who doth take your souls by night and hath knowledge of all
that ye have done by day. By day doth He
raise you up again; that a term appointed be fulfilled; in the end unto Him
will be your return then will He show you the truth of all that ye did.
61 He is the Irresistible (watching) from above over his worshippers
and He sets guardians over you. At
length when death approaches one of you Our Angels take his soul and they never
fail in their duty.
62 Then are men returned unto Allah their Protector the Reality: is not
His the Command? And He is the swiftest
in taking account.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 57 Surah
Hadid verses 4-6:
4 He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days and is
moreover firmly established on the Throne (of Authority). He knows what enters within the earth and
what comes forth out of it, what comes down from heaven and what mounts up to
it. And He is with you (with His
Knowledge) wheresoever ye may be. And
Allah sees well all that ye do.
5 To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: and all
affairs are referred back to Allah.
6 He merges Night into Day and He merges Day into Night; and He has
full knowledge of the secrets of (all) hearts.
Indeed my beloved brother, Allah Subhanah is everywhere
and omni-present, not through His Blessed Self, but through his Absolute and
Perfect Knowledge; for without an iota of a doubt, He Alone is the All-Knowing,
All-Aware and absolutely, and I reiterate, absolutely nothing moves or happens
in this Universe without His Precise Knowledge, Will and Permission!
Your
Question: and nothing in this whole universe except ALLAH...then what we are
.are we also the reflection of ALLAH ...what is this eath and everything on
this earth...is that all ALLAH ????
Allah Says
in the Holy Quran Chapter 30 Surah Rome verses 26-27:
26 To Him (Allah) belongs every being that is in the heavens and on
earth: all are devoutly obedient to Him.
27 It is He Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; and
for Him it is most easy. To Him belongs
the loftiest similitude (one can think of) in the heavens and the earth: for He
is Exalted in Might, Full of Wisdom.
Man, Jinns, Angels, mountains, every kind of vegetation
and plants and trees, every kind of animals, every cloud, every particle of
dust or grain, absolutely everything that exists in the heavens and the earth
and between it, is nothing but the creation of Allah Subhanah, the Supreme Lord
and Creator of the Universe! He Alone is
the Lord Creator and Supreme Master of everything in existence, and everything
in existence is no more than His creation; and at His One Call, everything in
creation will return back humbly unto Him.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 42 Surah
Shura verse 49:
49 To Allah belongs the Dominion of the heavens and the earth. He Creates what He Wills (and Plans).
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 36 Surah
Yaa-Seen verses 81-83:
81 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create
the like thereof?" Yea indeed! For He indeed is the Creator Supreme of
Skill and Knowledge (Infinite)!
82 Verily when He intends a thing His only
command is "Be", and it is!
83 So Glory to Him in Whose Hands is the Dominion of all things; and to
Him will ye be all brought back.
Amongst all His supreme creation, only the creations of
mankind and jinn have been bestowed with the faculties of intelligence or
reasoning and a limited free will for a short period of time of one life as a
test from their Lord, to see who amongst them is obedient to their Lord and His
Laws, and who amongst is them disobedient. To Him all will be gathered and He
Alone Will Decide who amongst men and jinn passed the test of life and who
amongst them failed it.
Your
Question: .are we also the reflection of ALLAH
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 42 Surah
Ash-Shura verse 11:
There is Absolutely nothing like Him
(Allah) in the whole Universe!!! He is the
All-Hearing, The All-Seeing!! To Him Alone belong the keys of the treasures
of the heavens and the earth!!
Allah says in Chapter 112, Surah Ikhlas Verse
1-4
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only. Allah is Independent of
all, and all are dependent on Him. Neither has He any offspring, nor is He the
offspring of anyone; and NONE is equal to Him in rank.
Man is no more than a mere creation of the Lord Creator
who has been bestowed with the faculty of intelligence and reasoning and
assigned a limited ‘free will’ for a short period of one life time to see
whether he is grateful and obedient to his Lord Creator or ungrateful and an
disobedient denier.
Allah Subhanah Himself Declares that there is absolutely
nothing like unto Him in the whole universe, and absolutely none is equal to
Him in rank; thus it would be indeed very ignorant, very arrogant, and indeed absolutely
blasphemous of man to even think, let alone believe that he is a reflection of
the Supreme and Majestic Lord!!!
Man is no more than a mere creation amongst the creations
of the Lord Creator and definitely, and I reiterate, definitely not a
reflection of the Majestic and Supreme Lord; for Allah is witness to the Truth
that there is absolutely nothing like unto The Majestic and Supreme Lord in the
universe. To even imply that a mere
creation of Allah Subhanah is a reflection of Allah is indeed a Monumental and
Manifest Blasphemy!
Your
Question: what is this eath and everything on this earth...is that all ALLAH
????/
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 59 Surah
Hashr verse 24:
24 He is Allah, The Creator, The Evolver, The Bestower of Forms (or
colors). To Him belong the Most
Beautiful Names: Whatever is in the heavens and on earth doth declare His
Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, The Wise.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 62 Surah
Jumua verse 1:
1 Whatever is in the heavens and on earth doth declare the Praises and
Glory of Allah, The Sovereign, The Holy One, The Exalted in Might, The Wise.
The earth and everything that exists in it, and the
heavens and everything that exists in it are nothing but amongst the mere
creations of the Lord Most High, Most Supreme, Most Majestic. He Alone is Lord, Creator, Master, Sustainer
and Cherisher of everything that exists in the heavens and the earth and
between it, and unto Him Alone is the Dominion.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah
Ale-Imraan verse 18:
18 There is no deity (worthy of worship) but He (Allah): that is
the Witness of Allah, His Angels, and those endued with knowledge standing firm
on justice. There is no deity
(worthy of worship) but He, The Exalted in Power, The Wise!
Allah Subhanah Alone is the Lord, Creator and Master of
everything in creation, and thus He and He Alone deserves to be
worshipped…..Laa ilaaha illalaah! Allah Subhanah Himself, His Angels, and all
endued with knowledge bear witness to the Truth there is no deity, no god, no
name, no image, no nothing that deserves to be worshipped in creation except
the One and Only True Lord God Supreme Creator, Allah Subhanah wa Taala Alone!
Laa ilaaha illalaah!
There is no deity worthy of worship except the One and Only True Deity, Allah
Subhanah Alone!
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
