1. Islam on the contrary to many other religions that have exclusions against statues and pictures that portray God, has succeeded on a high level that this concept is unidentifiable. What Islam lacks in artwork pertaining to God they make up for it with their strong spiritual and intellectual beliefs and ideals.
2. Islam believes that there is only one God and he is the creator of all. This remind me of the view Christians have on God.
3. In Islam there is the belief that there is no god other than God. This shows that islam would disagree with the Jewish notion that God as a covenant with humans and a unique relationship that divides the world by race. The notion of a world divided by race by God is not accepted in Islam. Muslims are taught that God is not specific to one race or ethnic group.
4. Muslims can not blame anyone or anything at their time of judgement because if they do they will be judged poorly and said to not be a true Muslim, not having the realization that there is only one God, Allah. Muslims know that laying blame is bad because the Qur'an states that the blame has to be put on our shoulders.
5.Islam believes that Jesus was also a prophet of God, a miracle from God being born by the Virgin Mary. Although they recognize Jesus as a prophet they do not view him as god like just because he was birthed by a virgin, and his father being "God". The Qur'an supports this notion by summarizing Jesus' birth as Jesus being created from dust and then God said be and he was.
6.We can build a personal and private connection with Allah because he has access to all of our thought and he knows how we are feeling.
7. In Arabic there is not a word for it, so the usage of the pronoun he is used in reference to God, with an understanding from followers that Allah is not a male.
