A Rejoinder to Pope's Allegations Against Islam — Page 4
THE CONCEPT ABOUT GOD Allah is the proper name of God, which is known since the time immemorial, through the prophets. Islam presents most perfect and complete concept of God, free from any weakness. Almighty Allah is the Lord of all the worlds. He is free from all blemishes and possesses all perfect attributes. He alone is fully aware of the real nature of all things. God is entitled to all praise. His providence is not only universal but is also extended to both the physical and the spiritual world. He is the creator and we all his creatures, so the powers and faculties with which man is endowed are all gifts of God. It is He Who is deserving of praise for any good that may be done by man.
