Identity of Allah

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

Verses of the Holy Qur’an Selected Ayāt

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

Translation

Allah—there is no god besides Him—the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what lies before them and what is behind them; and they grasp nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and preserving them does not fatigue Him. He is the Most High, the Most Great.

Surah Al-Baqarah | 2:255

سورة الإخلاص

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ (١)

ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ (٢)

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ (٣)

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ (٤)

Translation

1. Say: He is Allah—One and Only. 2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor is He begotten. 4. And there is none comparable to Him.

Surah Al-Ikhlāṣ | 114:1–4

اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ رَزَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ ۖ هَلْ مِن شُرَكَائِكُم مَّن يَفْعَلُ مِن ذَٰلِكُم مِّن شَيْءٍ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Translation

Allah is the One who created you, then provided for you, then will cause you to die, then bring you to life again. Is there any of your so-called partners who can do any of this? Exalted and far above is He from what they associate with Him.

Surah Ar-Rūm | 30:40

هُوَ اللَّهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ ۖ لَهُ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

Translation

He is Allah—the Creator, the Originator, the Fashioner. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Surah Al-Ḥashr | 59:24
