According to [[Islam]], the creator deity, God, known as [[Allah]], is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator, Sustainer, Ordainer, and Judge of the universe. Creation is seen as an act of divine choice and mercy, one with a grand purpose: "And We <ref group=note>[[majestic plural]]</ref> did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play."<ref>[[Qur'an 21:16]], [[Sahih International Translation]]</ref> Rather, the purpose of humanity is to be tested: "Who has created death and life, that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving;"<ref>[[Qur'an 67:2]], Muhsin Khan Translation</ref> Those who pass the test are rewarded with Paradise: "Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the heart's) desires;"<ref>[[Qur'an 78:31]], [[Yusuf Ali translation]]</ref>

According to the Islamic teachings, God exists above the heavens and the creation itself. The [[Quran]] mentions, "He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He Istawa (rose over) towards the heaven and made them seven heavens and He is the All-Knower of everything."<ref>[[Qur'an 2:29]], Muhsin Khan translation</ref> At the same time, God is unlike anything in creation: "There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing."<ref>[[Qur'an 42:11]], [[Sahih International Translation]]</ref> and nobody can perceive God in totality: "Vision perceives Him not, but He perceives [all] vision; and He is the Subtle, the Acquainted."<ref>[[Qur'an 6:103]], Sahih International translation</ref> God in Islam is not only majestic and sovereign, but also a personal God: "And indeed We have created man, and We know what his ownself whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein (by Our Knowledge)."<ref>[[Qur'an 50:16]], Muhsin Khan Translation</ref> Allah commands the believers to constantly remember Him ("O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance"<ref>[[Qur'an 33]]:41, Sahih International Translation</ref>) and to invoke Him alone ("And whoever invokes besides Allah another deity for which he has no proof—then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed."<ref>[[Qur'an 23:117]], Sahih International Translation</ref>).

Islam teaches that God as referenced in the Qur'an is the only god and the same God worshipped by members of other [[Abrahamic religion]]s such as Christianity and Judaism.
