The existence of God is a mystery that has eluded humans since time immemorial. In
Islamic religious teaching, the fundamental belief is that there is only one, universal,
supreme, all-knowing, all-powerful, and eternal God. The Islamic name for God is Allah,
which conveys a Supreme Being who is unique and has no associates or equals. In fact,
Allah’s name cannot be pluralized or limited to any gender, and His greatness is not

to Karl Marx saying, “religion is the opium of the masses,” and hence, Islamists exploit the
people’s apparent credulousness in order to promote their faith. In fact, these Theologists
only convey a notion of God’s eternity, yet they cannot provide utterly convincing evidence.
Moreover, one of the three cardinal features of God conveys that God is omnipotent
(the other two are omnipresent and omniscient). By definition, omniscient means that God is
