Contents Impact of Belief in One God Man is Central in Islamic Culture Impact of Belief in One God The basis of Islamic beliefs is to believe in one God who has the Most Beautiful names and noblest qualities; One who neither begets, nor was begotten.

The belief in this core possesses several advantages: Firstly , it frees the human being from full submission to (worshipping) any natural being or any human being of whatever position and rank, and this freedom saves him from being confined to any material limits. Secondly , it results in mobilizing all human talents and power for one purpose and saves him from all that destroys his life and activities, such as polytheism, being spoiled, etc.

Thirdly , it leads a human being towards the infinite goal and carves a long and endless path for his ambitions in which he can progress from cradle to grave and even after death. Thus, death does not stop a human’s progress towards goals. As mentioned in hadiths, the progress will continue with righteous children, compiling useful books and giving ongoing zakat.

If one introduces a good practice to society and one or more people follow it after one’s death, he or she will become more complete and receive more rewards until the day of resurrection. Fourthly , it will keep one away and safe from other people’s troubles and objections so that infinity and immateriality will direct his efforts, activities, and acts of giving.

Fifth , it will mobilize collective power in a competitive harmony and will prevent collective polytheism in order to prevent the society from division and thereby wasting the power of its members.

It is stated in the Qur’an: “…and do not be among the polytheists of those who split up their religion and became sects…” (1) Sixth , the meaning of “He neither begat, nor was begotten” (2) will eliminate the effect of personal elements and relations from the human value-setting system, because people are equal like a comb’s teeth. Everyone only possesses through his own efforts and no one else’s.
