Q3. Who is our Creator ?

Answer : Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala)

Reference : Qur’an, Surah 7 (Al A’raf), Verse 54

Surely your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and is firmly established on the throne of authority.

Q4. What are the qualities of our Creator ?

Answer & Reference : Qur’an, Surah 112 (Al Ikhlas) (Verses 1-4)

Say: He is Allah, the One and Only. (112:1)
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. (112:2)
He begets not nor is He begotten. (112:3)
And there is none comparable unto Him. (112:4)

Surah Ikhlas is the Acid Test which judges the divinity of any candidate when claimed. Since the attributes of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala) given in this chapter are unique, false gods and pretenders to divinity can be easily dismissed using these verses.

Challenge No. 1 :
O mankind of any religion, if you worship other than Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala), are you dare to apply your god to this acid test ?
You will definitely realise the truth.
Not too late… Not too early…
We have time to repent only upto our death…
Accept the truth… Fear our true Creator and follow His Commandments…

Q5. What are the Commandments of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala) ?

Answer : Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala) commands his creation
C1. not to make partner with Him and
C2. to obey Him & His messenger.

Reference for C1 : Surah 6 (Al An'am ) Verse 151-153

(Say (O Muhammad): "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from:
Join not anything in worship with Him;
be good and dutiful to your parents;
kill not your children because of poverty" – We provide sustenance for you as well as them;
Come not near Al-Fawahish (great sins and illegal sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly;
and kill not anyone whom Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to Islamic law). This He has commanded you with that you may understand. (6:151)

And come not near to the orphan's property except to improve it until he or she attains the age of full strength;
and give full measure and full weight with justice" – We burden not any person, but that which they can bear;
And whenever you give your word (i.e. judge between men or give evidence), say the truth even if a near relative is concerned;
and fulfill the Covenant of Allah. This He commands you that you may remember. (6:152)

And verily, this is my straight path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you from His path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious). (6:153)

Reference for C2 : Surah 3 (Ali Imran) Verse 132
“And obey Allah and the Messenger that you may obtain mercy.”

Q6. In Arabic, by which term is “Associating partner(s) with Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala)” meant ?

Answer : Shirk... This is the act of Associating partners with Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’Ala).
This is the greatest sin of mankind that Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala) does not forgive.
One who does this sin is called “Mushrik (Polytheist)”.

Reference :

Quran, Surah 4 (An-Nisaa), Verse 48:
Surely Allah does not forgive shirk (associating any partner with Him); and may forgive sins other than that if He so pleases. This is because one who commits shirk with Allah, does indeed invent a great sinful lie. (4:48)

Quran, Surah 5 (Al Maidah), Verse 72:
Certainly they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." While Christ himself said: "O children of Israel ! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord". Whoever commits shirk (joins partners with Allah), Allah will deny him the paradise, and the hellfire will be his home. There will be no helper for the wrongdoers. (5:72)
