Knowing something properly will allow us to respond it properly. It is important to know Allah properly in order for us to be able to make proper response upon Him. Allah is the name of God to Whom the Moslem worship to. Allah has many names called al-Asma' al-Husna (the good names). Every of His name represents His noble characters, for example Allah introduce Himself as al-Rahiem which means the merciful. Allah posseses three predicates namely rabb (creator, protector), malik (leader,king,the law-maker), and ilah (god). Moslems are required to believe in Allah as the only creator, king and god of the universe. This concept is called tauhid (the Oneness). The principle of faith (tauhid) is absolute in nature. Meaning to say any compromy is not allowed. There are two kinds of trangression against the principle of Islamic faith namely:
1. To reject to believe in Allah (called kufr), and
2. To acknoledge another figure beside Allah (syirk)
Kufr and Syirk are considered as the most serious sin. There is no hope for Kafirun (people who practice 'kufr') and Musyrikun (people who practice 'syirk')in here after.

I am a hindu by origin from india and i want to convert to ISLAM and i want to know more about the religion and i have been doing a lot of research . i need to know where to start off with the belief that ther is one god and that is Alla almighty.... i live in UAE , please help me.........
Congratulation, and welcome to Islam. It is my honor to help you. Let me know, how far your understanding about Islam obtained from your research. If you are in the belief that Islam is suitable for you, you can start becoming a moslem by declaring an Oath called syahadah. The mentioned Oath is in arabic and should be pronounced correctly. It is very simple actually, but for the beginer it is probabbly not easy. However, you may ask for help from another moslem. Just come to the nearest mosque (masjid) and talk to people overthere. People will come to hekp you.
