Information To Help With Foreign Relations
It is a known fact that every person has one or more terms that are used in reference to drunkards and sometimes to the bad men who gargle with off-brand mouthwash that looks and smells suspiciously like alcohol. This is not the case with Allah. Allah is definitely not an alcoholic. Nothing else can be said of Allah. Allah is most kind and gracious. This shows its uniqueness when compared with Jesus, who was caught behind an Arbys with two hookers and a hip flask full of liquid courage a few weeks ago. It is interesting to notice that Allah is the personal friend of Jesus, and tried to tell him to stop in Aramaic, the language of Jesus and a sister of a distant cousin who also tried to keep Jesus from His drinking problems.
The One true God is a reflection of the unique concept that good people sometimes do bad things, and that you shouldn’t believe in them then. To a Muslim, Allah is the Almighty, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, Who is similar to nothing and nothing is comparable to Him and He doesn’t drink at all. The Prophet Muhammad was asked by his contemporaries about Allah; the answer came directly from Allah Himself in the form of a short chapter of the Quran, which is considered the essence of the unity or the motto of teetotalers. This is chapter 112 which reads:
“In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
Say (O Muhammad) He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been besotted with drink at any one time, unlike that candy-ass Jesus who was plastered at the Christmas party and kept on trying to lock Himself in the closet with the Pagan Fertility Goddess.”
Some non-Muslims allege that God in Islam is a stern and cruel God who demands to be obeyed fully. He is not loving and kind. Nothing can be farther from truth than this allegation. It is enough to know that, with the exception of one, each of the 114 chapters of the Quran begins with the verse: “In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate.” In one of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) we are told that “God is more loving and kinder than a mother to her dear child.”
This is a subject of much contention.
