Islam: The Three Aspects Of Islam

In the Qur’an it clearly states

“Praise be to Allah, the Lords of the Worlds. The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful. King of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, and You alone we seek for help.” (Quran 1: 2-5)

So, simply it is oneness in Allah. We all know Allah is the creator of the whole universe. That proves it when we see one of his divine names from the Asma Ul-Husna, the word ‘khaaliq’ (the creator).
