He is Allah, (the) One; (1) Allah, the Eternal; (2)He did not beget (give birth) and He was not begotten (given birth to); (3) And there has never been anyone equal to Him. (4)
Allah is He besides Whom there is no god, the Everliving, the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist; slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His; who is he that can intercede with Him but by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases, His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Great.
Allah is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. The similitude of His Light is as a Niche, within which is a Lamp. The Lamp is in aglass (container). The glass (container) islike a bright planet. The light (of the lamp) is produced by fire from a blessed olive tree(oil), which is neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almostilluminate, without being touched by fire. Light Upon Light! Allah guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allah gives examples for people (as illustration), and Allah is Knowledgeable of everything
The Originator of the Heavens and the Earth, (Allah), has made pairs for you from yourselves, and pairs of cattle, thereby multiplying (in the wombs of females). There is nothing like Him. He is The Hearer, The Seer
To Allah belong (the directions of) the sunrise and the sunset. Whichever (direction) you turn to, there is the Face of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Vast (and) Knowledgeable
Surely your Lord is Allah, who created the Heavens and the Earth in six days,then established Himself above the Throne in a manner that befits His majesty, governing (His creation). There is no intercessor except by His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. Will you not remember?

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Allah in Islam?
Allah is the Arabic name of the One God, the Creator and Sustainer of everything, as described in Surah Al-Ikhlas (112) and Ayat al-Kursi (2:255).
How many names of Allah are there?
The Quran says Allah has the most beautiful names (7:180). A hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari (7392) mentions ninety-nine names; scholars note that this does not limit His names to ninety-nine, and the exact list differs slightly between sources.
Can we say that Allah has a physical form or sits on the Throne like a created being?
No. Verses such as 42:11 state that nothing is like Him. Scholars explain the verses about the Throne and the Face in different ways, with the early scholars affirming them without asking how and others interpreting them figuratively, so consult a qualified scholar for the details.
Is it correct to call on Allah by any of His names?
Yes, the Quran (17:110) says to call upon Allah or Ar-Rahman by whichever of His beautiful names you wish. Read our posts on the blessings of Allah and thanking Allah.
O you who have believed, Seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. – Surah Al-Baqarah:153
