God, who is considered the "only Creator and Lord of the Universe". The main fundamental creed (shahadah) of Islam is "There is but (one) God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God".
God's Attributes

- Forgiving
- The Lord of all of the Heavens and the Earth
- Attentive to the prayers of His servants

The Qur'an describes Oneness of God in Sura 112:
1. Say: He is God, the One
2. God, the Eternal, Absolute
3. He begeteth not, nor is he begotten
4. And there is none like unto him.
The Qur'an also defines attributes of God:
| Say: "Call upon God, or call upon Ar-Rahman (the Beneficient) by whatever name ye call upon him, (it is well): for to him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between." [17:110] Allah! there is no god but He! To Him belong the most Beautiful Names. [20:8] |
Muslim believe in the concept of just one God who created the whole universe. Allah is the greatest no one like him. He have no child and no Parents. Allah is only one . He is merciful. We all go back toward Allah. He is the owner of Day of judgment.
God's omniscience
The Qur'an describes God as being fully aware of everything that happens in the universe, including private thoughts and feelings and that nothing can be hidden from god:
[6:60] It is He who does take your souls by night, and has knowledge of all that you have done by day: by day does He raise you up again; that a term appointed be fulfilled; In the end unto Him will be your return; then will He show you the truth of all that you did.
The Qur'an states that the proclamation of faith (Arabic: Shahaada) is: "There is no god except Allah" (Arabic: Laa ilaaha illa Allah), In literal terms this would be translated as "There is no god but God."
[2:255] Allah! There is no god but He, the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).
[3:18] There is no god but He: That is the witness of Allah, His angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise.
[47:19] Know, therefore, that there is no god but Allah, and ask forgiveness for thy fault, and for the men and women who believe: for Allah knows how ye move about and how ye dwell in your homes.
[2:163] Your Ilah (God) is one Ilah (God - Allah); there is none who has the right to be worshipped but He), Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
[3:62] Verily! This is the true narrative (about the story of Isa/Jesus), and Laa ilaaha illallaah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the One and the Only True God, Who has neither a wife nor a son). And indeed, Allah is the All Mighty, the All Wise.
[4:87] Allah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Surely, He will gather you together on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt. And who is truer in statement than Allah?
