Monotheism, no Polytheism

Unitarians draw the sap that nourishes their faith in God the Only One, from Abraham’s heritage, which at last ended in the Holy Qur'an. The essence of their belief is Monotheism which means an ontological confirmation to believe that Existence has One Creator and has no partner, who created man by His permission, and who created them in the best stature, and provided them a spiritual, mental and psychological ability, that would guide them to the right path through the "Remembrance" which He reveals to his apostles in order to provide people with mercy, guidance and to be the light for people to be enlightened with as their souls may avoid the darkness of Heedlessness and the bottomless pit of sins.

He created the universe, like no other. Existence was disclosed by the Lord's ability, and provided in the minds of people as a mercy for the Worlds. He was aware of the Greatness of the Image, the Particularity of Wisdom and the Subtlety of Planning as the attributes of the Creator is to show his Creations, the attributes of a Producer is to show his Goods, the attributes of a Capable is to show his Capabilities, and the attributes of a Knower is to show his Knowledge and the attributes of a Wise are to show his Wisdom. All the attributes are a sign of His Existence, His greatness, His grace and His justice.

The expression {Glorified and Exalted Be He} related to the Supreme (God) expresses the highest transcendence of The Ever-Exalted Creator’s purity as the High comes back to the names of Allah, He’s the Most High in all comparable and analogous and He’s he infallible and the sanctifier for all types of shortages. As He’s the Purest, His Existence is a necessity {and whithersoever ye turn, there is Allah's Countenance} and that’s the meaning of His unlimited Existence, yet He is The Perceiver that nothing would obstruct Him as things won’t be created unless by His Permission. He also is {the Sustainer of all that exists} as He exists in all living creatures as everything would be dead if he didn’t exist within these creatures as He has His own Straightness and the strength of  all things is also within Him. Everything belongs to Him.

The compliance with the purposes of The Holy Book is the Straight path of obedience to the satisfaction God. However, these purposes can’t be achieved unless you maintain good morals, Semitic excellences and Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. The Sincere Believer should be a right Testimony as befits his believes based on the origins of a True Religion as the beginning of reconciliation is obtained by the reconciliation of the soul due to the good obedience to the Supreme (God) .

The tongue, in monotheistic morals, is the father of Grievous Sins, there is no one worthy of his religion that does not memorize the commitment of Piety where he is going to face his God with, as he can stand there and get some dignity. Didn’t we read in the Book of Allah: “the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you” However, from a behavioral point of view, Piety accumulates everything that elevates the spirit to achieve upgraded virtues that God has ordered for the Good of all Sons of Adam “Whoever works righteousness benefits his own soul; whoever works evil, it is against his own soul.”

The Prophet has loved “True Religion with ease” as it is closest to the Natural Disposition of mankind “Allah´s handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made mankind” which is the ability of being Right and following this path as God, the Almighty, has inspired his apostles. The acceptance of the Right is to acquire the qualities of faith and monotheism, the ones Islam has accustomed in his letter to the divine world. However, there is no duplicity between the purposes of the true faith and the common pathways between the believer in his faculties, his cantonments, his thoughts and in his chest convulsions.

We definitely agree that we do not accept for our souls and our faith to practice evil on anyone, to use injustice against anyone or even to drag someone on the account of another. Therefore, we follow the words, the Prophet has pronounced in the Day of Arafa from the Farewell Pilgrimage: "God has forbidden to you your wealth as sacred as this land of yours and like the sanctity of this month of yours, and the sanctity of this day of yours ... Do fear Allah, Do not underestimate people’s matters and Do not live on this planet as corruptive... There are no Arabs better than non-Arabs as there are no non-Arabs better than Arabs. However, Do not present your relatives, yet Do present your work as Muslim is the brother of Muslims: he does not cheat him, nor betray him, nor malign him and he definitely does not kill him..." and God is a witness.
