Who Is Allah ﷻ?

إِنَّنِي أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِي

Introduction of Allah (subhanahu wa ta’aala) ﷻ

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Did we ever wonder that when something has a place in our heart.. it becomes easy for us to give away 3 things for that person or object: time, money and our self. If we all have a respect for our fathers, or our teachers, or the ruler of our country, or the principal or dean of our college/university.. if we have respect for him, if we know that he is a good person, and we really respect him from within our hearts.. it becomes easy to obey them. We feel the urge within our self to follow their commands as soon as they are given. If we don’t trust them, don’t love them, and don’t give them any space in our hearts, it becomes literally impossible to obey them.

Allah (سبحانه و تعالی) is our Master. If we can know who He is, how great He is, how powerful He is.. it will become impossible for us to disobey him.

When you meet somebody the very basic and mundane question you ask them is: “What is your name?” Brothers do we know the names of Allah that are printed on the first page of almost every copy of the Qur’an? If we don’t know our beloved Lord’s names.. how can we claim that we truly love Him? His names are those that tell us about who Allah is. These are His sifaat with which we learn about him.
