What is Allah?

Allah in ch 41 v 34 of Quran says good and evil are not alike,always do good in response to bad and then you will see your enemy becomes your best friend.

Thanks for your reply I was thinking that my post was never going to be approved.

While Islam teaches to never start violence it doesn't exactly teach to make peace with your enemies, unless like Abraham Lincoln, who while delivering a speech at the height of the Civil War, referred to the Southerners as fellow human beings who were in error. An elderly lady chastised him for not calling them irreconcilable enemies who must be destroyed. “Why, madam,” Lincoln replied, “do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?”

I've been given plenty of references to the Quran that supports that you shouldn't stop fighting until everyone of your enemies is destroyed, but where does it say to that making them your friend is destroying your enemy?

We believe Allah is one he is eternal he is neither born nor give birth there is nothing like him

From what I could find out Allah translates as "the deity" Do Muslims have other ways they refer to Allah? like how the Christians call it "The Lord" or Sikhs call it, "Waheguru"?

And what do the Muslims mean by deity?

The common definition of god is a spiritual being that you venerate. This is why Judism and Christianity are called monotheistic, they only warship one god even though they believe their are other gods "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me". But Zoroastrianism, the first monotheistic religion, had many Yazatas, that originated from Ahura Mazda. Hindism has Para Brahman from which all is created like Ahura Mazda but there 'god' seems to mean a spiritual being you do Supplications to. But in Egypt people didn't supplicate the gods but to demons, to the Egyptians gods where the laborers that ran the universe.

So what exactly do muslims mean by one god?

I'm especially interested is how the Islamic concept of god fits into the Gnosticism cosmology. is Allah the Demiurge or Theletos or is it to alien to compare?
