Konsep Ketuhanan dalam Al-Qur'an: Relevansinya terhadap Tantangan Sekularisme, Nihilisme, dan Relativisme Keagamaan

Abstract

The Qur'an differentiates between the term "God," which can refer to idols, deities, or desires, and the name "Allah," which uniquely denotes the Almighty Creator. Unlike "God," the name "Allah" signifies an exclusive and supreme title that belongs solely to Him, as only Allah possesses the attributes of absolute existence, perfection, and majesty. This study aims to analyze the historical origins of the name "Allah," its contextual use in the Qur'an, and its role in affirming the monotheistic belief in Islam. The research employs a historical and textual interpretative approach to uncover the progression of the term "Allah" from its early linguistic roots to its Qur'anic application. The findings reveal that the Qur'an systematically elevates and purifies the term "Allah," restoring it to its rightful monotheistic dimension, distinct from other conceptualizations of divinity. This underscores the Qur'anic assertion that Allah is the One and Only God, without equal and transcendent above all.
