(When Islam was revealed, a more precise and clearer definition of Allah was given, that:ِ

      Allah is the Creator of the whole universe. He is the only one true God. The God of; ABRAHAM, MOSES, JESUS and MOHAMMAD. He is the unconditioned Lord of all things. He is Merciful to all His creatures and to mankind. He guides aright those who submit to Him, and punishes them for their sins.

      Allah is not to be compared to any of His creatures. No image or imagination may be made of Him. Allah has told men what He expects of them, through his prophets, as His SPOKESMEN. Allah demands above all, the recognition of His own ONENESS.

      The greatest sin and oppression is the worship of any other being, real or imaginary alongside Him.

      The old Persian Duality, and the new Christian Trinity, as well as the other pluralities are all rejected, for being inconsistent with Allah's absolute unity. God is far greater than the Man can think of, and at the same time He is nearer to Man than the jugular vein of his neck. Every one can approach God directly in personal prayer, and especially in reciting the Holy Qurän which is the very speech of God.

TRANSLATOR'S NOTE)

      The next verse (NO.52) implies that; not only Allah is the owner of the heavens and the earth and whatever is in them, that, to Him belongs the ``VÄSIB'' religion which is pure and permanent. The Arabic VÄSIB, has various shades of meaning, such as, PERMANENT, i.e. continuing or enduring in the same state without marked changed; and, ``PURE'', i.e. absolute, and free from what vitiates, weakens, or pollutes. Free from moral defilement or guilt. Hazrat Imam Sadiq (AS) has understood VÄSIB to mean VÄJIB, or necessary, essential, and incumbent.

      The ending of the verse alludes to the fact that, no one worths being feared of, except Allah:ِ

      ``Do you then care for any other than Allah?''

      Fear of anyone other than God is considered as some sort of polytheism in Islam. Evil has no power over man of God.

      The only logical fear is that of the wrath of Allah, due to our sins. God is absolute goodness and pure truth, and nothing can come out of goodness but good. He is the only power that can be relied on to relieve our distress.
