We should know it for certain that those that do not have faith in Hadrat Mohammad (peace be upon him) cannot have faith in Allah. They could have their own gods.
Why is this like that?
Because there is no “God”! God has never existed.
People, of course, may have their own gods which they have created in their minds as befits their world of imagination. Even, a great majority of people living on earth as members of various beliefs already have such a god. But their assumption is certainly not true and has no connection with the truth of matter.
Hadrat Mohammed (peace be upon him) performed his mission with the aim of keeping people away from spending their lives in vain in a way of life depending on a belief of a concept of god, and he tried to warn the people who believed in him by way of the word “la ilaha”.
As I have tried to explain in my book entitled “Allah as Introduced by Mohammed”, the One denoted by the name “ALLAH” is certainly not a sky-god or a heavenly god.
While the people of the past ages, as well as those of the present day, believed in a heavenly god and accepted a SON of that sky-god as a result of their belief, whom God has sent, as well as the angels having wings, our Rasul has briefly and clearly emphasized with the Chapter of Oneness in the Koran (Surah Ikhlas) that these kind of beliefs hold no truth.
Belief in God takes a person finally to disappointment! Because, in consequence of such a belief, an expectation from a being afar off is constructed in mind as a thought. And this results in inactivity, lethargy and laziness. Instead, everything lies within the secret at the core of human beings. Not far away! Human beings have the capacity and the ability of doing many things always with this secret that they have within.
When those who had a belief in God, realize that such a god never existed, they will face a big frustration along with a huge disappointment.
No god has ever existed, who lived in the outer space or in another galaxy and who sent a delegate or a son from there down to earth.
For this reason, they who had faith in Hadrat Mohammad (peace be upon him) and hence in “ALLAH” as introduced by Mohammed, have definitely a different and inconsistent faith from those who had an imagination of a heavenly god that is far away.
They who did not have faith in Hadrat Mohammad (p.b.u.h.) and did not accept and confirm that Mohammed is the Rasul and Nabi of Allah, have not accepted the concept of “Allah” that is introduced by Mohammed, either.
That unbelief subsequently results in an image of god in the universe people create fittingly in their minds, as long as they do not accept and confirm Mohammad’s (p.b.u.h.) mission as a Rasul, and so they consequently create a lifestyle which depends on the concept of their assumption.
Hadrat Mohammad stated that “men qaala la ilaha ill-allah faqad dahale jannah,” meaning “who ever states La ilaha ill-Allah will reach to Heaven.”
However, this does not mean that the ones who believe in god will reach to heaven!
There is a nuance in here that is to be noticed:
With his explanation above, Hadrat Mohammad (p.b.u.h.) calls attention to the need of disengagement from the concept of a “god”, which is purification from shirk (associating partners).
When a person comprehends the meaning of the “Surah Ihlas”, he will also realize that there is no god that is beyond or far away from him.
From beginning to its end, the holy Koran is full of verses emphasizing that the concept of god gives rise to shirq (the creation of a being at the side of “ALLAH”) and that once we commit shirq, we will undergo a life of hell.
Why will the ones committing shirq, that is, creating a being beside “ALLAH” in their heads, remain in hell forever?
As there is no god, then what is the reason of staying eternally in the dimension which is called hell, and suffering from it?
These facts need to be thought seriously and comprehended.
As far as someone does not have faith in Hadrat Mohammad (p.b.u.h.) and that he is the Rasul and Nabi of ALLAH and even does not bear “witness” (shahadah) to this reality, then he is considered as an unbeliever of the Deen of Islam, which also means the SunatAllah (the system and the order) as introduced by the Rasul of Allah. And as far as he does not acknowledge that system and order, he lives through his own beliefs and conclusively reach the consequences of his life.
We can neither make someone reach to heaven nor get him into hell.
Everybody will construct their heaven, or else intensify their hell through their capacity of comprehension and through their lifestyles that they lead accordingly.
Without having faith in Hadrat Mohammad (p.b.u.h.) and without bearing witness that Mohammed is the Rasul and Nabi of Allah, everyone will be doomed to believe a god only as they will create and characterize in their dreams, because, without faith, they will not be able to discover and comprehend the one pointed to with the name “ALLAH” as Mohammad informed. From then onward, they will not be pleased with the god in their imaginations, find him wrong or find his mistakes and start to criticize him.
All the laws and principles, the systems that we live within, of which we perceive some but we do not most, is actually the “system and order” called as “SunnatAllah” in the Koran. It is what we know as the “DEEN”.
The one we were communicated to by the name “ALLAH”, created all the existence which was described as “universes within universes” in the past and known as the “parallel universes” in contemporary terms, by Hu’s ilm (intelligence – knowledge), from Hu’s ilm and in Hu’s ilm within the timeless dimension of “AN” (moment).
Based on the hologram principle, every bit of the universe enfolds the entire universe.
RasulAllah (p.b.u.h.) had referred to this reality 14 hundreds years ago by saying “a bit mirrors the whole”. For detailed information you may read my book called “The Journey of the One”.
All of the universes which are created from a single “POINT” carry out their functions through the laws of the “SunnatAllah” according to their purpose of being.
Likewise in the example of “K”, similar to the formation which we call “line” comes from one single point in a “row of points”, all of the universes are just inside of one single angle. And there are countless points like this in a long line. The rest is beyond our comprehension. The name of “ALLAH” at least signals to a being or existence like that.
So the one referred by the name “ALLAH” is so magnificent that, HU is surely independent of being considered as a god.
Each individual including all human beings is like a cone. Nevertheless, some of them consider themselves not like a cone but like the two dimensional base of a cone, in other words as a body only made of flesh and bone. But some of them have realized that they are cones. They watch the “World of Names” (alam asma) from all the dimensions of the cone up to the “point”.
What we have to do is, to have faith in the Rasul of Allah Hadrat Mohammad and in the One he named as “ALLAH” and introduced, and to direct our lives under the guidance of these realities that have been communicated.
When the prayer is fulfilled together by those who have faith in the Rasul of Allah, Hadrat Mohammad (p.b.u.h.), and in the reality that “there is no god, only Allah” as he stated, the Imam will never read the “B-ismi-llah” loudly at the beginning of Fatiha, but will start reading it from “Elhamdu...” onward.
Why?
Because “B-ismi-llah” encloses the mystery of “B” within and every person needs to “read” and experience “B-ismi-llah” for himself depending on the mystery which exists within himself.
Salaat (daily regular prayers) can only be fulfilled by “reading” the Fatiha (the Opening) and therefore the Rasul of Allah stated that “salaat is impossible without Fatiha”.
The way that takes us to “ALLAH” is not outward reaching a distance but inward, from the consciousness of us toward within ourselves.
The believers of god however, will face outward toward some place in space [instead of looking inward].
The concept has no relation with being Turkish, Arabic or some other nationality. The name “ALLAH” is a proper name. Proper names do not change in any language, they can not be interpreted and they are always used as they are.
I have no further words to say to those whom I have not managed yet to explain the difference between the meaning that the proper name “ALLAH” denotes and the general concept of “GOD”.
Why is this like that?
Because there is no “God”! God has never existed.
People, of course, may have their own gods which they have created in their minds as befits their world of imagination. Even, a great majority of people living on earth as members of various beliefs already have such a god. But their assumption is certainly not true and has no connection with the truth of matter.
