19 God is Not a Man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?– Numbers 23:19
20 And God spoke all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. – John 5:30;
Based on the Above Quoted Verses – God Is Not a Man – it is pretty Clear that New Testament is way too much modified; Jesus (alaihis Salam/ peace be upon him) was a Prophet – and even the expression of “son” of God is mostly Hebrew for Ebed – Slave/ Servant of God; and most of the verses are modified and not in the Original Aramaic (the Language Jesus actually spoke)- and contradict many monotheistic verses of the Old Testament; so accoding to the Bible – you’re supposed to have only 1 God – worthy of worship – Not to bow down or worship Jesus, Mary, saints or anything else with or along with God/ Allah azza wa Jal and that is pure monotheism;
ALLAH/ GOD ALLMIGHTY IN ISLAM
God in Islam called Allah in the Arabic language -in Quran Kareem and Biblical tranlation is the same AllMighty God (the only one God worthy of worship) in the Bible and can be defined with the following qualities; Muslims consider all prophets Muslim(in Submission to God);
Say, ˹O believers,˺ “We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to Allah we all submit.” – surah Baqarah 2:136;
Abridged Explanation of the Quran
The Messenger ˹firmly˺ believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. They ˹all˺ believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers. ˹They proclaim,˺ “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and obey. ˹We seek˺ Your forgiveness, our Lord! And to You ˹alone˺ is the final return.”
Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who could possibly intercede with Him without His permission? He ˹fully˺ knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them, but no one can grasp any of His knowledge—except what He wills ˹to reveal˺. His Seat1 encompasses the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of both does not tire Him. For He is the Most High, the Greatest.2 – surah Baqarah 2:255;
Last 3 Ayaat/ verses from Surah Hashr (Gathering in Judgement Day) “He is Allah—there is no god ‘worthy of worship’ except Him: Knower of the seen and unseen. He is the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
He is Allah—there is no god except Him: the King, the Most Holy, the All-Perfect, the Source of Serenity, the Watcher ‘of all’, the Almighty, the Supreme in Might,1 the Majestic. Glorified is Allah far above what they associate with Him ˹in worship˺!
He is Allah: the Creator, the Inventor, the Shaper. He ‘alone’ has the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth ‘constantly’ glorifies Him. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise. (Qur’an 59 – 22/23/24)

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whom do you consider to be a fighter among you?” We said, “One whom men cannot wrestle down.” The Prophet said, “It is not so. Rather, it is one who controls himself when angry.”
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2608
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The strongest are not the best wrestlers. Verily, the strongest are those who control themselves when angry.”
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6114, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2609
Imam Ibn ‘Abdul Barr commented, “This is evidence that striving against oneself is a more difficult task and is better than striving against the enemy.”

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever among you sees evil, let him change it with his hand. If he cannot do so, then with his tongue. If he cannot do so, then with his heart, which is the weakest level of faith.”

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ مُنْكَرًا فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِلِسَانِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِقَلْبِهِ وَذَلِكَ أَضْعَفُ الْإِيمَانِ

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 105: Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: During the lifetime of the Prophet some people said, : O Allah’s Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?” The Prophet said, “Yes; do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun at midday when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?” They replied, “No.” He said, “Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?” They replied, “No.” The Prophet said, “(Similarly) you will have no difficulty in seeing Allah on the Day of Resurrection as you have no difficulty in seeing either of them. On the Day of Resurrection, a call-maker will announce, “Let every nation follow that which they used to worship.” Then none of those who used to worship anything other than Allah like idols and other deities but will fall in Hell (Fire), till there will remain none but those who used to worship Allah, both those who were obedient (i.e. good) and those who were disobedient (i.e. bad) and the remaining party of the people of the Scripture. Then the Jews will be called upon and it will be said to them, ‘Who do you use to worship?’ They will say, ‘We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.’ It will be said to them, ‘You are liars, for Allah has never taken anyone as a wife or a son. What do you want now?’ They will say, ‘O our Lord! We are thirsty, so give us something to drink.’ They will be directed and addressed thus, ‘Will you drink,’ whereupon they will be gathered unto Hell (Fire) which will look like a mirage whose different sides will be destroying each other. Then they will fall into the Fire. Afterwards the Christians will be called upon and it will be said to them, ‘Who do you use to worship?’ They will say, ‘We used to worship Jesus, the son of Allah.’ It will be said to them, ‘You are liars, for Allah has never taken anyone as a wife or a son,’ Then it will be said to them, ‘What do you want?’ They will say what the former people have said. Then, when there remain (in the gathering) none but those who used to worship Allah (Alone, the real Lord of the Worlds) whether they were obedient or disobedient. Then (Allah) the Lord of the worlds will come to them in a shape nearest to the picture they had in their minds about Him. It will be said, ‘What are you waiting for?’ Every nation have followed what they used to worship.’ They will reply, ‘We left the people in the world when we were in great need of them and we did not take them as friends. Now we are waiting for our Lord Whom we used to worship.’ Allah will say, ‘I am your Lord.’ They will say twice or thrice, ‘We do not worship any besides Allah.’ “

“There are seven whom Allah will shade in His Shade on the Day when there is no shade except His Shade: a Just ruler: a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic; a man whose heart is attached to the mosques; two men who love each other for Allah’s sake, meeting for that and parting upon that; a man who is called by a woman of beauty and position (for illegal intercourse), but he says: ‘I fear Allah’; a man who gives in charity and hides it, such that his justify hand does not know that his right hand gives charity; and a man who remembered Allah in private and so his eyes shed tears.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in His hadith:
Prophet (Sal Allahu alayihi wa Sallam/ peace from Allah be upon him) said in a hadith; “Take benefit of five before five: Your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied, and your life before your death.” (Narrated by Ibn Abbas)

HUMILTY IN ISLAM – PRIDE BELONGS TO ALLAH (GOD ALLMIGHTY ALONE)
Abdullah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever has a mustard seed’s weight of pride (arrogance) in his heart, shall not be admitted into Paradise. And whoever has a mustard seed’s weight of faith in his heart, shall not be admitted into the Fire.”
“Verily, for all men and women who have surrendered themselves unto God, and all believing men and believing women, and all truly devout men and truly devout women, and all men and women who are true to their word, and all men and women who are patient in adversity, and all men and women who humble themselves… for them God has readied forgiveness of sins and a mighty reward” (Qur’an33:35).
At-Tirmidhi (1999), Abu Dawood (4091) and Ibn Maajah (59) narrated from ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ood that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “No one will enter Paradise in whose heart is an atom’s weight of arrogance and no one will enter Hell in whose heart is an atom’s weight of faith.” A man said: What if I like my clothes to look nice and my shoes to look nice? He said: “Verily Allah loves beauty; rather arrogance means rejecting the truth and looking down on people.”
PRIDE BELONGS TO ALLAH ALONE:
There is no doubt that Kibriyaa’ (Pride/Grandeur) is one of the Attributes of Allah, The Exalted, as stated in the Quran and Sunnah, and that Al-Mutakabbir (The Superior and Supreme in pride and grandeur) is one of His Names. Allah Says (what means): {And to Him belongs [all] grandeur within the heavens and the earth, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.} [Quran 45:37] Al-Qurtubi 
said in his Tafseer book: “{to Him belongs [all] grandeur} means that to Him belongs greatness, majesty, immortality, dominion, power, and perfection.” [End of quote]
In the Sunnah, it was narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah 
that the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Allah, The Almighty, Says: “Pride is My Ridaa’ (cloak), and Greatness is My Izaar (lower garment), and whoever claims to share with Me either one of them, I will cast him into Hellfire.” [Ahmad, Abu Daawood and Ibn Maajah]
Moreover, the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to say in his Rukoo‘: “Subhaana Thil-Jabarooti wal-Malakooti wal-Kibriyaa’i wal-‘Athamah (which means: Glory be to the Lord of Might, Dominion, Grandeur, and Greatness).” [Ahmad, Abu Daawood, and An-Nasaa’i]
One of the Most Beautiful Names of Allah is Al-Mutakabbir, as stated in the Quran, where Allah Almighty Says about Himself (what means): {…the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior.} [Quran 59:23] [Al-Mutakabbir in this verse is translated as ‘the Superior’]
Briefly, the reported meaning of the divine name Al-Mutakabbir is as follows: “The One Who is Superior and Exalted Above all evil, Who is far Exalted above committing injustice against His slaves. To Him belongs all grandeur, and He is far Exalted above the attributes of His creation, and He shows His Superiority to the insolent created beings who dare to claim to share with Him the attribute of greatness, so He destroys them.”
Al-Munaawi said in Faydh Al-Qadeer: “Al-Mutakabbir means the One to Whom belongs all Kibriyaa’ (pride/grandeur), The Sovereign, or The Superior Who sees others as inferior to Him. He regards others in the same way a master regards his slaves, and it is inconceivable that this attribute should be ascribed to other than Allah, The Exalted (in this sense). To Him alone belong greatness and grandeur in all respects and from all aspects, and therefore this attribute cannot be used in reference to other than Allah, The Exalted, except in a context of dispraise.” [End of quote]

CONDITIONS OF SHAHADAH
It was narrated from Mu’adh bin Jabal that theMessenger of Alkah()said:“There is no soul thatdied bearing witness to la ilaha ill Allah,and that lamthe Messenger of Allah,from the heart withcertainty,but Allah will forgive it.“(lbn Majah)
1-Al llm-Knowledge of what Shahadah mean (there is no god to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad -saw-is hisMessenger)
2-Al Yaqueen-Certainty -you have to be sure of the Shahadah is true,having no doubt or suspicion
3 –Al Iklhas -Sincerity –to believe in your Heart and Testify with your tongue -and negate Shirk they reject the Taghut (evildeities and man made systems and believe in Allah alone)and Riyaa'(show off)
4-Truthfullness -AsSidq-whatis True is True and Falsehood is Falsehood
Alif Lam Mim.Do people think that they will be left alone because they say,We believe,and will not be tested.And We indeedtested those who were before them.And Allah will certainly make (it)known (the truth of)those who are true,and will certainlymake (it)known (the falsehood of)those who are liars,(although Allah knows all that before putting them to test).[29:1-4].|
5 –Love -Al Mahabb love for the Word of Tawhid –Loving Allah azza wa Jal -to be practicing Muslims -and abide by Allah’s
Law(Shariah)-and disliking Bidah (innovations in religion);
The firmest of lman’s ties are having loyalty in the cause of Allah,disloyalty in Allah,love in Allah and hatred for Allah’s Sake.”[At-
Tabarani,Abu Dawood &Al-Hakim].What further testifies to the fact that love in Allah is a condition of lman;
And of mankind are some who take (for worship)others besides Allah as rivals (to Allah).They love them as they love Allah.Butthose who believe,love Allah more(than anything else).C [2:165].
Narrated Ubada bin As-Samit:The Prophet (s)“Whoever getsup at night and says:—La ilaha illallah wahdahu la Sharika lahuLahu-lmulk,waLahu-Lhamd wahuwa ‘ala kullishaiin Qadir.Alhamdu liLHahi,wa subhanallahi,wa la-ilaha ilHal-lah wa-I-lahuakbar wa la hawla wala Quwata il-la-biHah.’(None has the rightto be worshipped but Allah.He is the Only One and has nopartners.For Him is the Kingdom and all the praises are duefor Him.He is Omnipotent.All the praises are for Allah.All theglories are for Allah.And none has the right to be worshippedbut Alah,And Allah is Great And there is neither Might nor Power Except with Allah).And then says:—Allahumma,Ighfir li(O Allah!Forgive me).Or invokes (Allah),he will be respondedto and ifhe performs ablution (and prays),his prayer will be accepted.
