Last 3 Ayyat/ Verses from Surah Hashr (gathering in Judgement Day);

Translation of the last 3 verses of Surah Hashr: Verses 22-24; 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, 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.

Ayatul Kursi – Verse of the Throne

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

Definitions of God in Semitic Languages

The main Aramaic words for God are Elah (ܐܠܗ) or Alaha (ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ), meaning “God,” which are cognates of the Hebrew Eloah/Elohim and the Arabic Allah, all stemming from a common Semitic root for divinity. Aramaic also uses Elahi (אֱלָהִי) for “My God,” famously heard in Jesus’ cry “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” (My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?).

Key Terms:

Elah / Alaha (אלה / אלהא): The general term for “God,” used in Biblical Aramaic and Syriac.
Elahi (אֱלָהִי): Means “My God,” a possessive form.
Eloi: The specific Aramaic/Hebrew form for “My God,” as used by Jesus in the Gospels.

Connections to Other Languages:

These Aramaic terms share a common root with the Hebrew Elohim (God) and the Arabic Allah (God), highlighting linguistic links across Semitic languages.

Usage:

Jesus’ use of “Eloi” in Aramaic (Mark 15:34) shows direct usage of these terms.

In the Bible (Books of Daniel, Ezra), compound forms like Elah Avahati (God of my fathers) and Elah Shemaiya (God of Heaven) are found.

Numbers 23:19King James Version

¹⁹God 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

Exodus 20King James Version

20 And God spoke all these words, saying,

²I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

³Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

⁴Thou 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.

⁵Thou 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;

⁶And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

⁷Thou 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.

³⁰By 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;

3:2 Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence.

Abridged Explanation of the Quran

Allah is the One Who alone deserves to be worshipped.
He is the One Who lives perfectly without any death or deficiency.
He exists by Himself and is not in need of any of His creation.
The creation only exists through Him and is always in need of Him.

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.”
