In the Name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Who is Allaah?
[ Say: "He is Allaah, {the} One. "Allaah us-Samad {self-Sufficient}. "He begets not, nor was He begotten; "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."]
Soorat Al Ikhlaas {112:1-4}
[ Indeed your Lord is Allaah, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He Istawa {rose over} the Throne {really in a manner that suits His Majesty}. He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and {He created} the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His Command. Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed be Allaah, the Lord of the 'alameen {mankind and jinns}!] Soorat Al Ikhlaas {112:1-4}
Soorat Al A'raaf {7:54}
[ It is Allaah Who has sent down the Book {the Quraan} in truth, and the
Balance {i.e. to act justly}. And what can make you know that perhaps the Hour is close at hand?] Soorat Ash Shura {42:17}
[ O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person
{Adam}, and from him He created his wife, and from them both He created
many men and women and fear Allaah through Whom you demand your mutual {rights}, and {do not cut the relations of} the wombs {kinship}. Surely, Allaah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.]
Soorat An Nisaa {4:1}
[ Surely, your Lord is Allaah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days and then Istawa {rose over} the Throne {really in a manner that suits His Majesty}, disposing the affair of all things. No intercessor {can plead with Him}except after His Leave. That is Allaah, your Lord; so worship Him {Alone}. Then, will you not remember?] Soorat Younus {10:3}
[ Allaah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see.Then, He Istawa {rose above} the Throne {really in a manner that suits His Majesty}. He has subjected the sun and the moon {to continue going round}! Each running {its course} for a term appointed. He regulates all affairs, explaining the aayaat {proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} in detail, that you may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord.] Soorat Ar Ra'd {13:2}
[ Allaah is He Who has created the heavens and the earth and sends down water from the sky, and thereby brought forth fruits as provision for you; and He has made the ships to be of service to you, that they may sail through the sea by His Command; and He has made rivers {also} to be of service to you.] Soorat Ibraheem {14:32}
[ And it is He Who spread out the earth, and placed therein firm mountains and rivers and of every kind of fruits He made Zawjain Ithnain {two in pairs - may mean two kinds or it may mean: of two sorts, e.g. black and white, sweet and sour, small and big, etc.} He brings the night as a cover over the day. Verily, in these things, there are aayaat {proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} for people who reflect.]
Soorat Ar Ra'd {13:3}
[ Allaah is He Who created you, then provided food for you, then will cause you to die, then {again} He will give you life. Is there any of your {so-called} partners {of Allaah} that do anything of that? Glory be to Him! And Exalted be He above all that {evil} they associate {with Him}.]
Soorat Ar Ruum {30:40}
[ And He has made the sun and the moon, both constantly pursuing their
courses, to be of service to you; and He has made the night and the day, to be of service to you.] Soorat Ibraheem {14:33}
[ And He gave you of all that you asked for, and if you count the Blessings of Allaah, never will you be able to count them. Verily! Man is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, - a disbeliever {an extreme ingrate, denies Allaah's Blessings by disbelief, and by worshipping others besides Allaah, and by disobeying Allaah and His Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam}.]
Soorat Ibraheem {14:34}
[ See they not that Allaah, Who created the heavens and the earth, is Able to create the like of them. And He has decreed for them an appointed term, whereof there is not doubt. But the Dhalimeen {polytheists, oppressors, unjust, and wrong-doers, etc.} refuse {the truth the Message of Islamic Monotheism, and accept nothing} but disbelief.]
Soorat Al Israa {17:99}
[ Your Ilah {God} is only Allaah, the One. He has full knowledge of all things.]
Soorat Ta Ha {20:98}
[ Allaah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as {if there were} a niche and within it a lamp, the lamp is in glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the East {i.e. neither it gets sun-rays only in the morning} nor of the West {i.e. nor it gets sunrays only in the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long}, whose oil would almost glow forth {of itself}, though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allaah guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allaah sets forth parables for mankind, and Allaah is All-Knower of everything.]
Soorat An Nuur {24:35}
[ Allaah is He Who sends the winds, so they raise clouds, and spread them along the sky as He wills, and then break them into fragments, until you see rain drops come forth from their midst! Then when He has made them fall on whom of His slaves as He will, lo! they rejoice!] Soorat Ar Ruum {30:48}
[ Allaah is He Who created you in {a state of} weakness, then gave you strength after weakness, then after strength gave {you} weakness and grey hair. He creates what He wills. And it is He Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Powerful {i.e.Able to do all things}.]
Soorat Ar Ruum {30:54}
[ Allaah it is He Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all that is
between them in six Days. Then He Istawa {rose over} the Throne {in a manner that suits His Majesty}. You {mankind} have none, besides Him, as a Wali or an intercessor. Will you not then remember {or be admonished}?]
Soorat As Sajdah {32:4}
[ Allaah, it is He Who has made the night for you that you may rest therein and
the day for you to see. Truly, Allaah is full of Bounty to mankind, yet most of mankind give no thanks.] Soorat Ghaafir {40:61}
[ Allaah, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes good {looking} and has provided you with good things. That is Allaah, your Lord, then blessed be Allaah, the Lord of the 'alameen {mankind and jinns}.] Soorat Ghaafir {40:64}
[ Allaah it is He Who has subjected to you the sea, that ships may sail through it by His Command, and that you may seek of His Bounty, and that you may be thankful,] Soorat Al Jaathiya {45:12}
