God: Acording to Islam

                According to Islam, God is sonless, timeless, and is the only true Creator.  Even though Islam is very similar to Christianity, one of the major conflicts is Jesus being the son of God.  Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet born from a virgin mother, but does not believe he is the son of God.  The Islam belief is that if God had a son, that would make him seem mortal and God is anything but, as he is undivided.  Muslims believe that there is only one God and his name is Allah, meaning "the God", and he is the God of the entire universe.  The Islam religion also believes that Allah will judge everyone on their actions and deeds.  While on Earth, the good, true, and righteous will receive his mercy, and be spared of all pain and suffering for all eternity.  The pure of heart and soul will enjoy all of the good that can be; some even believe that there will be wine to drink in a garden of paradise. This is important because Muslims are not allowed any alcohol made of grapes nor grains; however mead, a wine made of bee's honey, is another story.  The wicked and evil will receive his divine justice and be sentenced to an infinite amount of pain through Hell's fiery hot winds, thick black smoke and brackish water, but only as much as he sees fit that they deserve, as he is the God of mercy and forgiveness.  Allah, from what the Islam faith believes, will call forth all of the dead at the end of all time and give them their just rewards.
