Allaah is One in His Lordship, One is His Godship and One in His Actions and Names and Attributes. Nothing is like Allaah. When someone accepts Allaah as the only true God Who deserves to be worshipped, then he must negate all worship to anyone (or anything) other than Allaah. This is the meaning of\u00a0laa ilaaha illal-laah: \u201cThere is no true God but Allaah.\u201d It is composed of negation and affirmation phrases. The phrase \u201cbut Allaah\u201d confirms that Allaah is the only true God Who deserves to be worshipped.<\/p>\n<p>Allaah is All-Just and All-Wise. He created us and wants us to know of Him and worship Him alone. He doesn\u2019t leave us without guidance. This is part of His Mercy. He, Most Exalted, sent Messengers and Prophets to convey a single message: man must submit to the Will of His Creator, Allaah, and worship none but Him.<\/p>\n<p>This is the essence of Islam. It is the same message conveyed by Adam, Ibraaheem (Abraham), Moosa (Moses), \u2018Eesa (Jesus) and finally to mankind until the Day of Resurrection by Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon them all). These Messengers and Prophets were created human beings. They were not divine. In the final revelation to all mankind, man is called to testify that: \u201cThere is no true God but Allaah and Muhammad is the true Messenger of Allaah.\u201d This testimony is the key to Paradise. But there is no key except that it has ridges. If you come with the key that has the right ridges, the door will be open for you. Otherwise, it will not open for you. In order to achieve Paradise through this testimony, one must fulfill certain conditions that constitute the \u201cright ridges\u201d for this key statement. These conditions are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.
