GOD IS ONE: He is neither two nor three. He has no spouse nor offspring. He is Supreme and Omnipotent.
The principle of tauhid is the very soul of Islam. In comparison to God, as we come to know Him, through the Qur'an, everything and everyone else is utterly powerless and helpless.
People are of course, free to believe what they wish to believe, and this surah, which is said to equivalent to 'one third' of the Qur'an, gives a most concise definition of the essence of Islamic belief. "Say, 'God is One, the Eternal God. He begot none, nor was He begotten. None is equal to Him'" (1-4). God is unique, and there is nothing can be likened to Him. There is nothing that can be equal to Him. He could therefore, have neither been a father nor a son. He is the Eternal to whom all creation refers and will return.
