“真主” (Zhēnzhǔ) is the Chinese term for “Allah,” the Arabic word for God in Islam. In Islamic belief, Allah is the one and only deity, the creator of the universe, and is merciful and compassionate. Muslims view Allah as transcendent and beyond human comprehension, yet also personal and accessible through prayer and worship. In Islam, the concept of Allah is central to the faith, influencing the lives of over a billion followers worldwide. The teachings about Allah are found in the 古兰经 (Qur'an), which is considered the holy book of Islam. Allah is often described using 99 names, each reflecting different attributes, such as 全能 (Almighty) and 仁慈 (Most Merciful).
