My dear brother/sister, As-salamu alaykum. This question concerns the most fundamental truth that occupies the human heart and mind. The answer is clear and definitive: No, there is no god but Allah. In the realm of existence, there is only one God who is the Creator, the Provider, worthy of worship, and omnipotent, and that is Allah the Almighty. In the Holy Quran, Surah Al-Hashr, verse 23, it is stated: 'He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him.' Furthermore, the most concise expression of Tawhid is found in Surah Al-Ikhlas: 'Say, He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.' The Imams of the Hanafi school and Islamic scholars have explained this truth through the meaning of the Kalima al-Tawhid, 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah). Accordingly, He alone is the Creator, the Sustainer, the Legislator, and the One worthy of worship. He has no partner, likeness, or equal. May your heart be at peace with this truth. May Allah increase your faith.
