ALLAH is referred to as "Him". IS He human-like?
If you speak English, you use the words "him" and "she" a lot and it is very easy to give people wrong ideas about God.
The female equivalent for 'God' is 'Goddess'. Some believe that God has female partners. Reducing God to a human family person is unacceptable in Islam.
The Almighty calls himself "ALLAH" in the Qur'an. This Arabic word has no plural and no male or female equivalents. Oh by the way, The Almighty is not an old man who posed for Michelangelo!

No pictures
Why are there no pictures or statues of ALLAH?
ALLAH is beyond the grasp of human vision. He is unlike anything that the human mind can imagine.
Therefore drawing pictures or making statues that represent Him as a human, a semi-human or an animal is unacceptable and considered a major sin in Islam.

The Lord of Creation
Is ALLAH is the god of Muslims?
ALLAH is The Lord of all created things in the seen and unseen worlds. Everything in Creation worships and submits to Him.
The faith of Muslims is Islam. It means submission to the Will of ALLAH.
