Who is Allah? • Is Allah some type of a tribal Arabian God ? or just the ‘God of Muslims’? • The Creator of all including Muslims! • The Lord of all mankind, jinn, angels, ka’bah, animals, birds & ALL THAT ison the earth & the heavens. Www.YasSarNalQuRaN.WordPress.Com

Don’t forget the Spirit! There are 2 things behind every act: • FORM (outward) • SPIRIT (inner/inward) Every act of worship in Islam has a form and a spirit. Eg. Hajj: Stoning/Car Purpose? Emphasis must be on purpose/Why? Know the spirit. Keep the spirit alive! Www.YasSarNalQuRaN.WordPress.Com
