Allah

Say, "He is Allah, (the) One. The Self-Sufficient Master. He begets not, nor was He begotten; And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." (Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4)

Who is Allah? 

What must we know about Allah? 

And the most important thing is who Allah is to us as a human and What Allah expects from us? 

This page contains selected verses from the Quran that I hope at least can give us some explanation about Allah, and I hope can be a trigger to us to learn more.

Who is Allah

And your God is One God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. (Al-Baqarah 2:163)

“And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You." [Allah] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things." So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakah (prescribed charity) and those who believe in Our verses. (Al-‘Araaf 7:156)

Look then at the effects (results) of Allah's Mercy, how He revives the earth after its death. Verily! That (Allah) Who revived the earth after its death shall indeed raise the dead (on the Day of Resurrection), and He is Able to do all things. (Ar-Room 30:50)

And when it is said to them, "Prostrate to the Most Merciful," they say, "And what is the Most Merciful? Should we prostrate to that which you order us?" And it increases them in aversion. (Al-Furqaan 25:60)

Allah - there is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi (Footstool [of His Throne]) extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. (Al-Baqarah 2:255)

He is Allah, whom there is none worthy of worship except He, the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen (open). He is the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. He is Allah, whom there is none worthy of worship except He, the King, the Holy, the One Free from all imperfections, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Exalted is He above all that they associate [in worship] with Him. He is Allah, 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. (Al-Hashr 59:22-24)

Say (O Muhammad): "I am only a man like you. It has been inspired to me that your God is One God. So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord." (Al-Kahf 18:110)

Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides Allah, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah, Lord of the Throne, (High is He) above what they attribute to Him. (Al-Anbiyaa’ 21:22)

And whoever of them should say, "Indeed, I am a god besides Him"- that one We would recompense with Hell. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers. (Al-Anbiyaa’ 21:29)

And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. (Al-Israa’ 17:23)

And We sent not before you (O Muhammad) any messenger except that We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me (alone)." (Al-Anbiyaa’ 21:25)

And who is more astray than he who invokes besides Allah those who will not respond to him until the Day of Resurrection, and they, of their invocation, are unaware. And when the people are gathered [that Day], they [who were invoked] will be enemies to them, and they will be deniers of their worship. (Al-Ahqaaf 46:5-6)

And those they invoke other than Allah create nothing, and they [themselves] are created. They are, [in fact], dead, lifeless, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.(An-Nahl 16:20-21)

And do not invoke with Allah another deity. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him. Everything will be destroyed except His Face. His is the judgement, and to Him you will be returned. (Al-Qasas 28:88)

Say, "Invoke those you have claimed [as gods] besides Him, for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else]." Those whom they invoke seek [for themselves] means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared. (Al-Israa’ 17:56-57)

And whoever invokes besides Allah another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed. (Al-Mu’minoon 23:117)

And of the people is he who worships Allah on an edge. If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to the other direction]. He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss. He invokes instead of Allah that which neither harms him nor benefits him. That is what is the extreme error. He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit - how wretched the protector and how wretched the associate. (Al-Hajj 22:11-13)

We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Quran) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things? (Fussilat 41:53)

And of His signs is that He created you from dust; then, suddenly you were human beings dispersing [throughout the earth]. (Ar-Room 30:20)

O mankind! Remember the grace of Allah upon you! Is there any creator other than Allah who provides for you from the sky (rain) and the earth? There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, how then are you turning away (from Him)? (Faatir 35:3)

And He gave you from all you asked of Him. And if you should count the favor of Allah, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, mankind is [generally] most unjust and ungrateful. (Ibraheem 14:34)

Do you not see that Allah has made subject to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth and amply bestowed upon you His favors, [both] apparent and unapparent? But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book [from Him]. (Luqmaan 31:20)

How can you disbelieve in Allah when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life (i.e., on the Day of Resurrection), and then to Him you will be returned. (Al-Baqarah 2:28-29)

Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is! From what substance did He create him? From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him; then He eased the way for him. (Abasa’ 80:17-20)

O mankind! What has made you careless concerning your Lord, the Most Generous? Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion; In whatever form He willed, He put you together. (Al-Infitaar 82:6-8)

What is Our Obligation

Who is Allah to Mankind? Allah is our God, Lord, Master, King and Ruler. So, our obligation is to make Allah to become our one and only God, Lord, Master, King and Ruler in our life. Because there is no deity [worthy of worship] except Allah.
