MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND
“ The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "The best remembrance [of God] (1) is to say, 'there is no god except Allāh (2)' and the best supplication is, 'Praise is to God.'" Footnotes: (1) A devotional practice that focuses on feeling God’s presence in the different facets of life. It includes several kinds like practical remembrance (obeying God’s commandments), verbal remembrance (supplications, praising, glorifying and exalting God), and remembrance by the heart (meditation). (2) Allāh is the Arabic name for the One and Only God, the same God shared by all monotheistic faiths (the name Allāh is often used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews). The name Allāh encompasses all the divine names and attributes of the Lord of the worlds, and hence has vast scopes of meaning. It is for this reason that Muslims consider it unique. Unlike the word 'God', Allāh in Arabic has no inflections of gender or number. ”
