Ep. 2: Who Is Allah? | Islam and Evidence

Before we argue whether God exists, we need to agree on what God is. Most people picture an old man on a cloud, an impersonal force, or one god among many. Islam rejects all of those — and defines God in four precise lines. This episode unpacks Surah Al-Ikhlas, the shortest chapter in the Quran, which Muslims consider the clearest definition of God ever given: One, the Eternal Refuge, unborn and unbegotten, unlike anything that exists. Understanding this definition changes the entire conversation about belief. If you've ever rejected God because the concept seemed vague or too human — this episode is for you.
