’Imām
al-Riḍā ▧:
May Allāh ◣ shower mercy upon an obedient who
has revived our cause. The ’Imām
was asked “how could one revive your cause”?
He replied: by learning about our knowledge,
and making it known to [other] people.
People would indeed follow us if they knew about the virtue of our
words.
Book No. 25, v.1, p.180

’Ḥaḍrat Fāṭimah Zahrā
▨:
We, Ahl al-Bayt, are the intermediaries
in His Creation, we are His favourites, and the descending point of divinities,
and we are His final Proof of His unseen world, and we are inheritors of His
prophets.

Allāh
(J.J.)
is the Unique Paramount Divine Being, the Source of all other beings in all
worlds and in all times. Therefore, none
of the words God (English), or Gott (German), or Khudā (Farsi),
or other similar words
in other languages are equivalent of Allāh. First, neither one of them are unique
(consider, for example, gods, goddesses, Khudāyān, etc.), and second,
they lack a definite article (the). Anything
unique must have definite article such as the sun, the moon, and the universe. Therefore, even if the English word, God,
were to be used, we shall say “The God” in order to reflect the Uniqueness and the Unity of the One and
Only Paramount Divine Being .
He is
the One and Only, the Compassionate, the Merciful, in His Pure, Unique, Eternal,
and Absolute sense. The One to Whom all
depend, and the One to Whom no gods or goddesses are associated.
“... He begets not, nor is He
begotten, and there is not a single one to equate with Him”, according to the last
āyah
of
Sūrah al-Ikhlāṣ
(No. 112)
Unithetically,
it is very interesting to realise that if major prophets of
Allāh
called their
Creator
Aloha
,
Elijah
,
Jehovah
,
Alāhā
, or
Allāh
, it is because of their different mother
tongues and different pronunciations, not because each one of them had a
different creator. If Muslims prefer to
use the word
Allāh
instead of God, it is not a matter of
prejudice. It is simply because they
cannot find any other word to reflect all aspects and dimensions of the Unique
Allāh
(J.J.).
