:bismillah:
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 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}

is all as a favour and kindness from Him. Verily, in it are signs for a people who
think deeply.] Soorat Al Jaathiya {45:13}

[ Do they not see that Allaah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and was
not wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the dead? Yes, He surely is
Able to do all things.] Soorat Al Ahqaaf {46:33}

[ He is Allaah, than Whom there is laa ilaaha illa huwa {none deserves to be
worshiped but He} the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen {open}. He is the
Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.] Soorat Al Hashr {59:22}


[ He is Allaah than Whom there is laa ilaaha illa Huwa {none deserves to be
worshiped but He} the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of
security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the
Supreme. Glory be to Allaah! {High is He} above all that they associate as
partners with Him.] Soorat Al Hashr {59:23}

[ He is Allaah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To
Him belong the Best Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him.
And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.] Soorat Al Hashr {59:24}

[ It is Allaah Who has created seven heavens and of the earth the like thereof {i.e.seven}. His Command descends between them {heavens and earth}, that you may know that Allaah has power over all things, and that Allaah surrounds
{comprehends} all things in {His} Knowledge.] Soorat At Talaaq {65:12}

[ Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa {none deserves to be worshiped but He}, the Ever
Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor
sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is
on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He
knows what happens to them {His creatures} in this world, and what will happen
to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and
the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is
the Most High, the Most Great.] Soorat Al Baqarah {2:255}

[ Truly, nothing is hidden from Allaah, in the earth or in the heavens. He it is
Who shapes you in the wombs as He pleases. Laa ilaaha illa Huwa {none deserves to be worshiped but He}, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.] Soorat Aal 'Imraan {3:5-6}

belong the Best Names.] Soorat Ta Ha {20:8}

Me}, so worship Me, and perform As-Salat for My Remembrance] Soorat Ta Ha
{20:14}

[ And He is Allaah; laa ilaaha illa Huwa {none deserves to be worshiped but He}.
His is all praise, in the first {i.e. in this world} and in the last {i.e.in the
Hereafter}. And for Him is the Decision, and to Him shall you {all} be returned.]
Soorat Al Qasas {28:70}

[ "But as for my part {I believe} that He is Allaah, my Lord and none shall I
associate as partner with my Lord. It was better for you to say, when you entered
your garden: "That which Allaah wills {will come to pass}! There is no power
but with Allaah". If you see me less than you in wealth, and children.] Soorat Al
Kahf {18:38-39}

[ Say {to these polytheists and pagans}: "Show me those whom you have joined
to Him as partners. Nay {there are not at all any partners with Him}! But He is
Allaah {Alone}, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."] Soorat Sabaa {34:27}

[ He has created the heavens and the earth with truth. He makes the night to go
in the day and makes the day to go in the night. And He has subjected the sun
and the moon. Each running {on a fixed course} for an appointed term. Verily,

None But Him

[ "Allaah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers."] Soorat As Saffat
{37:126}

[ He created you {all} from a single person {Adam}; then made from him his wife
[Hawwa {Eve}]. And He has sent down for you of cattle eight pairs {of the sheep,
two, male and female; of the goats, two, male and female; of the oxen, two, male
and female; and of the camels, two, male and female}. He creates you in the
wombs of your mothers, creation after creation in three veils of darkness, such is
Allaah your Lord. His is the kingdom, laa ilaaha illa Huwa {none deserves to be
worshiped but He}. How then are you turned away?] SooratAz Zumar {39:6}

[ If you disbelieve, then verily, Allaah is not in need of you, He likes not disbelief
for His slaves. And if you are grateful {by being believers}, He is pleased
therewith for you. No bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another. Then
to your Lord is your return, so He will inform you what you used to do. Verily,
He is the All-Knower of that which is in {men's} breasts.] SooratAz Zumar
{39:7}

[ Laa ilaaha illa Huwa {none deserves to be worshiped but He}. It is He Who
gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fore-fathers.] Soorat
Ad Dukhaan {44:8}

[ O mankind! Worship your Lord, Who created you and those who were before
you so that you may become al-Muttaqeen {pious and righteous}.] Soorat Al
Baqarah {2:21}

[ And will make him {'Eesaa, Jesus} a Messenger to the Children of Israel
{saying}: "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you
out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a
bird by Allaah's Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I
bring the dead to life by Allaah's Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and
what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe.]
Soorat Aal 'Imraan {3:49}

[ O mankind! Verily, there has come to you the Messenger with the truth from
your Lord, so believe in him, it is better for you. But if you disbelieve, then
certainly to Allaah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. And Allaah is
Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.] Soorat An Nisaa {4:170}

[ O mankind! Verily, there has come to you a convincing proof from your Lord,
and We sent down to you a manifest light {this Quraan}. So, as for those who
believed in Allaah and held fast to Him, He will admit them to His Mercy and
Grace, and guide them to Himself by a Straight Path.] Soorat An Nisaa {4:174-
175}

[ They ask you for a legal verdict. Say: "Allaah directs {thus} about al-Kalalah
{those who leave neither descendants nor ascendants as heirs}. If it is a man that
dies, leaving a sister, but no child, she shall have half the inheritance. If {such a
deceased was} a woman, who left no child, her brother takes her inheritance. If
there are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance; if there are
brothers and sisters, the male will have twice the share of the female. {thus} does
Allaah makes clear to you {his Law} lest you go astray. And Allaah is the All-
Knower of everything."] Soorat An Nisaa {4:176}

[ Such is Allaah, your Lord! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa {none deserves to be
worshipped but He}, the Creator of all things. So worship Him {Alone}, and He
is the Wakil {trustee, disposer of affairs, guardian, etc.} over all things.] Soorat
Al An'aam {6:102}

[ No vision can grasp Him, but His Grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Subtle
and Courteous, Well-Acquainted with all things.] Soorat Al An'aam {6:103}

[ Verily, proofs have come to you from your Lord, so whosoever sees, will do so
for {the good of} his ownself, and whosoever blinds himself, will do so to his own
harm, and I am not a watcher over you.] Soorat Al An'aam {6:104}

[ Say: "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: join not
anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not your
children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them; come
not near to al-Fawahish {shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse, etc.} whether
committed openly or secretly, and kill not anyone whom Allaah has forbidden,
except for a just cause {according to Islamic law}. This He has commanded you
that you may understand.] Soorat Al An'aam {6:151}

[ "And come not near to the orphan's property, except to improve it, until he {or
she} attains the age of full strength; and give full measure and full weight with
justice. We burden not any person, but that which he can bear. And whenever
you give your word {i.e. judge between men or give evidence, etc.}, say the truth
even if a near relative is concerned, and fulfill the covenant of Allaah, This He
commands you, that you may remember."] Soorat Al An'aam {6:152}

[ "And verily, this {i.e. Allaah's Commandments mentioned in the above two
verses 151 and 152} is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not {other}
paths, for they will separate you away from His Path. This He has ordained for
you that you may become al-Muttaqeen {pious and righteous}."] Soorat Al
An'aam {6:153}

[ Then, We gave Mousa {Moses} the Book {the Tawraah}, to complete {our
Favour} upon those who would do right, and explaining all things in detail and a
guidance and a mercy that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.]
Soorat Al An'aam {6:154}

[ And this is a blessed Book which We have sent down, so follow it and fear
Allaah {i.e. do not disobey His Orders}, that you may receive mercy {i.e. saved
from the torment of Hell}.] Soorat Al An'aam {6:155}

[ Lest you {pagan Arabs} should say: "The Book was only sent down to two sects
before us {the Jews and the Christians}, and for our part, we were in fact
unaware of what they studied."] Soorat Al An'aam {6:156}

[ Or lest you {pagan Arabs} should say: "If only the Book had been sent down to
us, we would surely have been better guided than they {Jews and Christians}."
So now has come unto you a clear proof {the Quraan} from your Lord, and a
guidance and a mercy. Who then does more wrong than one who rejects the
aayaat {proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} of Allaah and turns
away therefrom? We shall requite those who turn away from Our aayaat
{proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} with an evil torment, because
of their turning away {from them}.] Soorat Al An'aam {6:157}

[ Say: "Shall I seek a lord other than Allaah, while He is the Lord of all things?
No person earns any {sin} except against himself {only}, and no bearer of
burdens shall bear the burden of another. Then unto your Lord is your return,
so He will tell you that wherein you have been differing."] Soorat Al An'aam
{6:164}

[ Your Lord knows best what is in your inner- selves. If you are righteous, then,
verily, He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn unto Him again and again in
obedience, and in repentance.] Soorat Al Israa {17:25}

[ Your Lord is He Who drives the ship for you through the sea, in order that you
may seek of His Bounty. Truly! He is Ever Most Merciful towards you.] Soorat
Al Israa {17:66}

[ O you who believe! Bow down, and prostrate yourselves, and worship your
Lord and do good that you may be successful.] Soorat Al Hajj {22:77}

[ He merges the night into the day {i.e. the decrease in the hours of the night are
added to the hours of the day}, and He merges the day into the night {i.e. the
decrease in the hours of the day are added to the hours of the night}. And He has
subjected the sun and the moon, each runs its course for a term appointed. Such
is Allaah your Lord; His is the kingdom. And those, whom you invoke or call
upon instead of Him, own not even a Qitmir {the thin membrane over the datestone}.]
Soorat Faatir {35:13}

[ If you invoke {or call upon} them, they hear not your call, and if {in case} they
were to hear, they could not grant it {your request} to you. And on the Day of
Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you
like Him Who is the All-Knower {of each and everything}.] Soorat Faatir {35:14}
[ O mankind! it is you who stand in need of Allaah, but Allaah is Rich, Worthy of
all praise. If He will, He could destroy you and bring about a new creation. And
that is not hard for Allaah.] Soorat Faatir {35:15-17}
