Allah is the Arabic word for God and is used by Muslims, In Islam, Allah is supreme creator, the one and only true God, who is the creator of the universe and the source of all moral authority. He is infinitely merciful, just, and all-knowing, and we Muslims turn to Him for guidance and help in our daily lives. The concept of Allah in Islam is central to the religion and forms the basis of Islamic beliefs and practices.
Taking Allah’s name in vain
In Islam, using the name of Allah (Arabic for “God”) in a disrespectful or casual manner is considered a major sin. Muslims are taught to hold the name of Allah in high regard and to use it with reverence and respect. Using Allah’s name in vain is considered a form of blasphemy and is generally discouraged in Islamic teachings. Muslims are expected to use the name of Allah with care and to avoid any actions or words that could dishonor it.

Quran 10:12
And when affliction touches man, he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove from him his affliction, he continues [in disobedience] as if he had never called upon Us to [remove] an affliction that touched him.

Quran 41:9-11
Say, “Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds.

Then He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, “Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion.” They said, “We have come willingly.
In these verses – from Soorah Fussilat – we see that Allaah is telling us that He “created the earth in two Days”. Then He “placed therein (i.e. the earth) firm mountains from above it, and He blessed it, and measured therein its sustenance (for its dwellers)” in four days equal– i.e., in two days that were added to the two days in which He created the earth, so the total is four days. It does not say that the creation of the mountains and the measuring of the sustenance took four days.
