Allah in is the personal name of God in Islam. He is One and is the source of all existence.

We believe that Allah is Al-Khaliq, the Creator. He is the one who fashioned the universe with wisdom and purpose, from the majestic mountains of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa to the delicate coral reefs teeming with life. Every creature, from the graceful honu (sea turtle) to the vibrant ʻiʻiwi bird, is a testament to Allah’s creative power.

The Quran, the revealed book of Islam, speaks eloquently about Allah’s creative attributes:

“He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.”  (Quran 59:24)

The Unity of Allah is a foundational belief in Islam that underlies our worship and service to humanity. Since all are created by one God, Muslims extend respect and love to all. Our purpose in life is to develop a personal relationship with Allah and serve humanity. To develop a relationship with Him, we look to the Prophets He has sent to the world for guidance since the beginning of civilization. Furthermore, we believe that Allah speaks to us today through revelation just as He spoke to the prophets of the past.
