"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)."1 The
Holy QUran: Baqara 2:255"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."2The Holy Qur‟an: Al-i-Imran
3:18.`
Say "O' God!. Lord of Power (and Rule), You give power to whom You please, and
You strip off power from whom You please: You endue with honour whom You please,
and You bring low whom You please: In Your hand is all good. Verily, over all
things You have power. You cause the night to gain on the day, and You cause the
day to gain on the night; You bring the Living out of the dead, and You bring
the dead out of the Living; and You give sustenance to whom You please, without
measure."3The Holy Qur‟an: Al-i-Imran 3:26-27.
"Had We sent down this Qur‟an on a mountain, verily, You wouldst have seen it
humble itself and cleave asunder for fear of Allah. Such are the similitudes
which We propound to men, that they may reflect. Allah is He, than Whom there is
no other god;- Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most
Compassionate, Most Merciful. Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- the
Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of
Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the
Supreme: Glory be to God!. (High is He) above the partners they attribute to
Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms. To Him belong
the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare
His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."4The Holy Qur‟an:
Al-Hashr 59:21-24
