"الله" is the Arabic word for "God" in Islam. It represents the singular, all-powerful deity who is the creator and sustainer of the universe. In Islamic belief, الله is unique and has no partners or equals. Muslims view الله as merciful, compassionate, and just, and they believe that He is involved in the lives of individuals and the world. In the Islamic faith, الله is often referred to by 99 names, known as the Asma'ul Husna, which describe His attributes, such as Ar-Rahman (the Most Merciful) and Al-Hakim (the All-Wise). The concept of الله emphasizes monotheism, which is central to the beliefs and practices of Muslims around the world.
