One and Only
The Qur’an is the exact words of God Himself which he sent to be the final code of guidance for humanity. Throughout the Qur’an, God teaches us about himself. He teaches us that He is the One and Only God Who created everything and it is to Him that we will all be held accountable.Therefore, nothing should be worshipped besides Him. He is infinite and eternal with no faults or weaknesses. He is Exalted, Perfect and Flawless. His attributes are without flaw and are unchanging.
He is not bound by time, space or matter as we know it. In relation to us, He is the Most High above His great throne which He created above the heavens which encompasses the heavens and the universe, yet He is also closer to us than our jugular vein and is with us wherever we may be.
God does not resemble any of His creations. He is without limitations. He does not resemble anything man sees in the universe or anything he can imagine since imagination is part of the creation. He is inconceivable to man. He is as He says He is in a manner that suits His perfection and majesty only truly known by Him. These points are all clarified in the 114 chapters of the Qur’an:
Say, He is
the One God. God is the eternally depended upon while He is
self-dependent. He does not beget nor is He begotten. And nothing in
existence is similar to Him. (Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4)
God- There
is no deity except Him, The Ever-Living Sustainer of all existence.
Neither does he tire nor does He sleep. Everything in the Heavens and
the Earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede except by His permission? He
knows what is presently before them and He knows what will come after
them. They (all intelligent life forms) don’t encompass one bit of His
knowledge except for what He wills.
His throne
of majesty extends over the heavens and the universe. And preserving
them doesn’t tire Him in the least bit. He is the Most High and Most
great. (Al-Baqarah 2:255)
