Implications of Allah's Attributes

Each one of the basic divine attributes has a practical relevancy and implication in the day to day life of numerous individuals. Here, we will discuss a assortment of them.

Oneness of Allah

When talking about the oneness of Allah this by itself provides a base for mankind to unite. That is talking about one common Lord of the universe. An entire issue of religious, racial or just about any other prejudice that stems from the state of mind of ‘your Allah vs. my Allah’ no longer has a place simply because we are talking about the Allah of the entire universe- the whole of humanity. It follows from this, also, that since you have one Lord then you have one humanity.

The oneness of Allah also leads to the unity of humanity and this also understanding of the oneness of humanity is also a very fundamental basis in removing all the artificial barriers of racial, tribal and any other sense of superiority and all sorts of other false methods that people have devised to differentiate between one group of the creatures of Allah and the others.

Allah as Sole Creator

By believing that Allah is the sole creator of every single thing that is in this universe, any animate or inanimate object, it makes sense that the true believer does not see anything in this universe as totally strange to him. There are things that we may not realize but the universe is never something that ought to be feared. We ought to never use the terms ‘conquest of nature’ or ‘subduing nature’ simply because it’s as if you are in a struggle with an enemy that is nature. We need to never look at it as this because nature is the creation of Allah.

Allah is All-Knowledgeable, All-Wise and All-Omniscient

In regards to knowledge and wisdom, both have quite practical implications. First of all, when a believer understands that all his deeds and actions on this earth are watched, that Allah is watching over what he’s doing (and as we said last time even our inner thoughts are acknowledged to the Creator) it helps infiltrate the quality of piety or more correctly Allah-consciousness in his steps. It causes automatic self policing.

You do not have to have someone watch over you or reveal what to do because after all you need in direct contact and under direct observance of the Creator. This quality is not a theoretical quality. It is a very essential quality to construct any healthy community or society.

The other aspect that follows from that's the believers’ view of morality or moral standards would become more lofty than how many view them. In other words many people would accept moral values but might only do so in a utilitarian sense. That is the concept of getting to set certain standards simply because it is good for themselves, with regards to their own businesses, and or causes social approval. It is useful to check out it this way but that is not simply becauce a more lofty amount of looking at morality is to tie it directly with all the knowledge of Allah.

This instills the view of following such standards because Allah knows them, if they cheat people; if they use the pretence of morality just to obtain the admiration of other people then they can cheat all those people but can not cheat Allah Himself. This culminates in earnestness in deeds, words, and thoughts.


by taking the question of wisdom also as one absolute attribute of the creator we find that it also pertains to the acceptance of Allah’s command and direction and guidance as the supreme source because one must believe that Allah is the ultimate infallible source of knowledge and the ultimate law-giver. As soon as we inculcate in ourselves this mentality then we take Allah and his commands as the arbitrator to evaluate in anything we as human beings differ on. It provides a kind of stability to the laws and variations we have just in the same sense as the constitution, which provides trustworthiness in which various flexible laws is generally devised.
