How many gods do people in Islam believe in?

Answer 1

The Chief Principle in Islam is the submission to the one and only God.

Muslims have one God called Allah, the same God of the Jews, Sabians, and Christians. Islam teaches that there is no other god / goddess.

The most concise description of the concept of God in Islam is given in Surah Al-Ikhlas, the 112th chapter of the Quran. The surah contains only 4 verses.

1. Say : "God is One.

2. "God is Perfect.

3. "He was not begotten, nor did he beget.

4. "None is equal to Him."

The Arabic name Allah is considered to be the linguistically most perfect nomenclature of God as the word is a monosyllabic word that cannot have any number (can't be made singular or plural, like god, gods), gender (like god, goddess), superlative or diminutive (god, God), suffix or prefix (like godfather, sun-god). The word "Allah" is also perfect in the sense that there is no way to distort it (eg Good God, or Dog).

AnswerIslam Only and Only Believe in one God. AnswerPeace be upon all Brothers & Sisters in Islam and Humanity

We Muslims believe and know that there is no God but ALLAH and Muhammed (Peace & Blessings of ALLAH be upon Him) is the Apostle of God. It is the simple and invariable belief of Islam.

And He alone is the God in the heavens and the God in the earth; and He alone is the all-Wise, the All-Knowing (that is, He alone possesses the wisdom and the knowledge required for governing such a Domain). (Quran 43:84)

And they have taken for their gods others than Allah, that they may according to their reckoning be a source of strength to them (or that coming under their protection may confer security). (Quran 19:81)

And they have taken others than Allah as their gods hoping that they might be helped when needed. (Quran 36:74)

And when the Decree of your Lord had gone forth (and the time came for its execution), the Gods they used to invoke instead of Allah proved of no avail to them and contributed only to their doom. (Quran 11:101)

And those whom the people call to instead of Allah have not created aught, but are themselves creatures. Dead they are, and not alive, and they know not when they would be raised from their state, the real God is the One and Only God. (Quran 18:20-21)

Invoke not; or pray to, any ilah along with Allah. There is no God but He. (Quran 28:88)

....And those who, instead of praying to Allah, pray to His supposed associates do but follow suppositions and idle guesses. (Quran 10:66)

And, verily, We did destroy the places of which you see ruins about you, and We showed them Our signs in diverse ways that they might turn (away from their wrong ways to Us). So why did not those whom they had made their Gods, and presumed to have access to Us, help them in their hour of doom? Far from helping, they abandoned them and made themselves scarce, exposing the hollowness of their falsehoods and fabrications. (Quran 46:27, 28)[The reference here obviously is not to mythological or inanimate gods, but to priests and others who exacted peoples' worship and thus set themselves up as gods in opposition to the True God. A. A. Maududi]

[36.22] Why should I not worship Him who has originated me and to whom you shall all be returned? [36.23] What, shall I take, other than Him, gods whose intercession, if the Merciful desires to afflict me, cannot help me at all, and they will never save me?

And those who have taken others than Allah as protectors or helpers say, "We do not worship them except that they may bring us closer to Him." Allah will decide for them on the Day of Judgement regarding that in which they differ. (Quran 39:3)

And they worship other than Allah those who have power neither to harm nor benefit them, and they say that they are their intercessors with Him. (Quran 10:18)

"Do not make two gods; there is but one God; So, fear Me alone." (Quran 16:51)

And (Ibrahim said to them): I fear not those you associate with God. Any harm can come to me only if He should will it, and not otherwise (through any or all of your supposed gods).(Quran 6:81)

(And said Hud's people to him:) All we think of you is that you are under the curse of someone or other of our Gods. (Quran 11:54)

They made their religious scholars and rabbis their rabbs instead of Allah, and Jesus son of Mary too into one, although they had been told to worship but one God only, besides Whom there is no God at all. (Quran 9:31)

Have you noticed the men who has made his selfish desires his god? Can you assume any responsibility about such a one? (Quran 25:43)

In Islam there is only one Allah

There have been many, but the one chosen by Muhammad is ALLAH.

He chose the moon God, why no one has the answer but him only.
