The Muslims’ unanimous creedal views regarding Allah revolve mainly around the following Qur’anic verses:

“O mankind, worship your Lord who has created you and those before you, may you become righteous. Him who made for you the earth for dwelling and the skies as a ceiling and He sent down from the skies water with which He brought forth fruits as provision for you, so do not set up rivals unto Allah while you know.” [The Qur’an (2:21-22)].

“When My servants ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayers of every suppliant when he calls on Me.” [The Qur’an (2:186)].

“Allah, there is no God but He, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer, No slumber or sleep can overtake Him, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows their present and their future, and they do not have any of His knowledge except for what He wishes. His sovereign knowledge encompasses the heavens and the earth and it is easy for Him to preserve them. He is the Most High, the Great.” [The Qur’an (2:255)].

“The Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever lies between them, worship Him and have patience for His worship, do you know anyone of His similitude?!” [The Qur’an (19:65)].

“Rely upon the Ever-Living who does not die and exalt Allah with His praise.” [The Qur’an (25:58)].

“Verily, Allah is the Sustainer, the Mighty One, the Invincible.” [The Qur’an (51:58)].

“There is nothing like unto Him, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing” [The Qur’an (42:11)].

“To Him is the kingship of the heavens and the earth. He brings life and death. And He is capable of all things. He is the First and the Last, the Most High and the Most Near, He is fully aware of all things.” [The Qur’an (57:2-3)].

“It is Allah who has created seven (layers) of the skies and of the earth, the like of them. His commandment descends among them, so that you may know that Allah is All-Powerful over all things, and that He encompasses all matters with His knowledge.” [The Qur’an (65:12)].

“Say (O Muhammad), ‘Allah is the Only (God), Allah is the Everlasting Self-Sufficient (Lord), He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable unto Him’.” [The Qur’an (112)].

In understanding the previous verses, Muslim scholars from all sects agreed that the verses speak of a mighty unique omniscient deity who has created this universe, created the earth amidst it, and prepared it for the dwelling of humans. He is always maintaining and sustaining the universe and watching over all creatures. There is no one we should turn to and invoke for help at times of need but Him. His knowledge encompasses the universe, and all creatures do not discover from this knowledge except what He wishes them to know. He is eternal, uncreated, and everlasting. He is the first that the universe has realized when it was created, and He is the last one to see the universe before it perishes and every soul returns to Him. There is no one comparable unto Him, nor is there anything like Him. For all of the previous, He is the only entity worthy of worship.
