  • Assalam O Alaicum , To All The Muslims Of The World . Whenever Talking About The Religion ISLAM & When You Talk About Creator Always Called The Creator With The Glorious 100 Names Of ALLAH Or ALLAH , But Never Called The Creator With The Name Called GOD , Because There Is No Name Of ALLAH As God , Except The Marvelous 100 Names Of ALLAH . I Respect All Other Religion & Know Whom They Worship Are Called GOD Or Gods . Love You All . Hercules's
