Islam's fundamental theological concept is tawhīd—the belief that there is
only one god. The Arabic term for God is Allāh; most scholars believe it
was derived from a contraction of the words al- (the) and ʾilāh (deity,
masculine form), meaning "the god" (al-ilāh), but others trace its origin to
the Aramaic Alāhā.[32] The first of the Five Pillars of Islam, tawhīd is
expressed in the shahadah (testification), which declares that there is no
god but God, and that Muhammad is God's messenger. In traditional
Islamic theology, God is beyond all comprehension; Muslims are not
expected to visualize God but to worship and adore him as a protector.
Although Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, they reject the
Christian doctrine of the Trinity and divinity of Jesus, comparing it to
polytheism. In Islamic theology, Jesus was just a man and not the son of
God;[33] God is described in a chapter (sura) of the Qur'an as "…God,
the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He
[begotten; And there is none like unto Him."[34
