This means that one believes that there is only one         Creator and Sustainer of everything in the Universe, and that nothing         is divine or worthy of being worshipped except for Him. Truly believing         in the Unity of God means much more than simply believing that there         is "One God" as opposed to two, three or four. There are a         number of religions that claim belief in "One God" and believe         that ultimately there is only one Creator and Sustainer of the Universe.         Islam, however, not only insists on this, but also rejects using such         words as "Lord" and "Saviour" for anyone besides         Almighty God. Islam also rejects the use of all intermediaries between         God and Man, and insists that people approach God directly and reserve         all worship for Him alone. Muslims believe that Almighty God is Compassionate,       Loving and Merciful.               The essence of falsehood is the claim that God cannot deal with and forgive           His creatures directly. By over-emphasising the burden of sin, as well           as claiming that God cannot forgive you directly, false religions seek to get people to despair of the Mercy of God. Once they are convinced that they cannot approach God directly, people can be mislead into turning to false gods for help. These "false gods" can take various forms, such as saints, angels, or someone who is believed to be the "Son of God" or "God Incarnate". In almost all cases, people who worship, pray to or seek help from a false god do not consider it to be, or call it, a "god". They claim belief in One Supreme God, but claim that they pray to and worship others beside God, only to get closer to Him. In Islam, there is a clear distinction between the Creator and the created. There is no ambiguity in divinity - anything that is created is not deserving of worship and only the Creator is worthy of being worshipped. Some religions falsely believe that God has become part of His creation, and this has led people to believe that they can worship something created in order to reach their Creator.               Muslims believe that even though God is Unique and beyond comprehension,           He has no "Son", partners or associates. According to Muslim belief, Almighty God "does not beget nor was He begotten" - neither literally, allegorically, metaphorically, physically or metaphysically - He is Absolutely Unique and Eternal. He is in control of everything and is perfectly capable of bestowing His infinite Mercy and Forgiveness to whomever He chooses. That is why He is called the All-Powerful and Most-Merciful. Almighty God has created the Universe for man, and as such wants the best for all human beings. Muslims see everything in the Universe as a sign of the Creator and Benevolence of Almighty God. Also, the belief in the Unity of God is not merely a metaphysical concept. It is a dynamic belief that effects ones view of humanity, society and all aspects of life. As a logical consequence to the Islamic belief in the Oneness of God, is its belief in the oneness of mankind and humanity.</blockquote>
