There is No God.

the point you raise is well explained within the essay, did you not read the essay in full?
Reading your essay = agreeing with your view
To me, 'Allah' = 'the God', or simply 'God'.
A God is an outside force, a personification that controls the universe, so requires outside of yourself worship, and demonstrates absolutely no physical evidence so requires blind faith, this God is the Christian, Jewish model, nothing to do with Islam.
You are right about the blind faith. God doesnt need anything - it is we who are in need to keep the salat and pray to God. Just because God is not like many traditionalists believe Him to be like, it doesnt mean that He is something way, way... different from what traditionalists think.
Allah or not God emanates every atom of creation, from the inside out, this means you can only transform yourself from the inside out, so worshipping outside of yourself would be pointless, praying would be pointless, as Allah is closer than your jugular vein, there is no separation.
I think you take 'Allah is closer to you than your jugular veins' too literally. Allah knows what is in our hearts/minds/brains. He knows our innermost thoughts and our intentions. He is 'closer to us than our jugular veins', due to his knowledge.
To understand the true nature of Allah, read Supreme Existence, and Transfinite Consciousness, posted on servant of the light.
Your view/concept of Allah is interesting - I might have a look at those.

Salaam,
The concept "Allah (Not God)" is in direct opposition to any concept of ?GOD?, as the proof of physical evidence based science makes clear, there is not a duality of a God and ?a separate universe?, ONLY Allah (Not God) exists, being the out pouring of the tension of the single overarching dichotomy.
The meaning of the concept of Allah (Not God) constitutes the basis of Islam and must be understood
NOT ?There is no God; there is only God,? which is obviously, wholly simple-minded.
The fundamental state of a person who attained the Truth is his removal from faith as a basis, since one need not have "faith", a state of ignorance, in what is already apparent!
?There is No faith, there is only firm belief established through reason.?
?There is No Worship, there is only submission and servitude.? Meaning we must work for the transformation of humanity, not the pointless worship to a sky god.
?There is No religion, there is only deen or erudition of existence (Guidance and comprehension, originating from the singular consciousness, discernible within the text of the Qur?an (Divine energy))?
?There is No following blindly, there is only searching out the truth?.
We have been created for knowledge alone.
Allah (Not God) has no beginning and Allah (The out pouring of the tension generated from the single overarching dichotomy) has no ending. Allah (Not God) is the Evident in Allah?s Attributes and the Hidden in Allah?s Nature. And Allah is the Knower of all things. (Time and Space are Allah?s (Not Gods) creation, the totality of which is beyond the grasp of human intellect). (Surah 573 )

Such conceptions are present within Christianity and Judaism. The correct interpretation of the book of Revelation is a preterist one, which ends with God being present fully within creation. For a good primer on how modern Christian and Jewish scholars have addressed, read anything by Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan or "Honest to God" by Bishop JAT Robinson.

His leg? laugh
thats the funny thing. People think that GOD has a human form. rotfl

Salaam Munzir,
it seems you yourself, believe the same thing, as you say God, which is defined as a supernatural being, that is invoked through prayer and requires adoration and worship?
Your statement is ironic, you're saying in effect, 'that's the funny thing. People think that a personification has a human form.'. Of course people think a God has a human form, that?s the concept of a God, a man made construct that was manufactured to confuse the ignorant, and self deluded, this is clear from the Islamic model, of Not God, or Allah as its written in Classical Arabic.

I used to think he was a big tall man too. Who else?
Now I think of the almighty having no form. The almighty exists without a form (since having a form implies being created right?) knows all, infinite power, infinite everything................it's how we're here.

Salaam Meteora,
I noticed you were careful to avoid the God word, the foundation of Islam is there is No God, simple, and clear, I have an interest in theoretical physics, I research and consider, if you ignore the contrived and ridiculous plagiarised ideas of Einstein, who forms the basis of conventional physics, a picture of creation emerges, one that makes clear the true nature of creation.
Everything within all realities is manifest instant by instant from the inside out, this is without doubt, this being the case, God is the direct opposite concept in form to Allah, hence the need for the Shahada, only the confusion of the religious has replaced these concepts, to form religion.
If you would like to read these ideas of physics, firstly I would recommend ?Supreme Existence.?, then ?Transfinite Consciousness.?, if you enjoy reading these, there are plenty more on the site.

bah...too complicated/not that interested.
Hey and also...the hadith pretty much depicts God as something that has a human form!
(God showing his leg on the day of judgement is in the hadith) - contradicts the Quran saying when allah made himself manifest, mountains melted and moses fainted. He couldn't even see him, and allah did not have a form either.
(hadith says God created adam in his image) - again another retarded concept from the bible
Allah has "hands" according to the hadith and other nonsense.
Hadith has in it the "God" of Christianity and Judaism.

Salaam Meteora,
you are correct, and should consider why we have a Shahada at all, if God is God, it would not be required, I'm glad to see you use the concept Allah, not God, this is correct, the Christian's, Jews, Zoroastrian?s, Hindu's, Etc. may keep their Gods, Idol, worship, faith, rituals, dogma, Hadith, prayer, superstitions, miracles and virgins births, their sovereign priests, their barbaric justice, I will only accept the truth, so Islam free of all religion is the wise path.
Its a shame you refuse to read, we are after all made for knowledge, but as you wish, I wrote transfinite consciousness and then discovered Ibn Arabi had explained the same ideas, over 750 years ago, that to me is impressive, Islam existed once, it could exist again if people understood the real meaning of the Shahada.

I used to think he was a cloaked wizard wearing white with a long beard. God is nothing we can imagine. If we imagine God as something, than that thing is not God.

Its not complicated. Even a 13 year old like me can read it.
@ thanks for the link Abdun Nur handshake I'm gonna print it.

Well of course in these days none of the people of the Abrahamic religions believe God has human form. That is just laughable

Not in my experience.
That idea is derived from Zeus.
Well, in years gone by they did believe that, comes from the passage in Genesis where it says God made man in his image

What if it's true? I mean, what if the saying that god made man in His image is true, but just misunderstood..
Consider this we have a physical body. Are we a physical body? Or is the body something we have? Is my hand me or is it something I have?
And if i am not my body then what am I?Abdun Nur links have been very interesting and much of it just makes sense.. I'm not sure if the translation of "Allah" as "NotGod" is the best possible translation, but it does not really matter anyway.. Some authors call him/her the Source or the Source energy. Some call it The God... It does not chane anything. More important than the naming issue (which just makes it easier to talk about Allah), is the understanding of what or who he is I've read one author and he said that the word God (Allah, whatever other name to use) is interchangeable with the word life. As there is no life outside this entity.
I also believe that there is no separation between us and Allah, as the Quran clearly states that everywhere we look there is the presence of Allah And Allah is ONE. So there is no real separation between us and Allah or between us and other people The feeling of separation is just an illusion

I agree there is no separation between any of us. But my belief in that passage is that God made us in his "spiritual" image, not physical.
