| Allah, Our Lord and Cherisher |
I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the Accursed
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
"Say: 'He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the eternally besought of all; He begetteth not nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him'." (112:1-4)
"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 is 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." (2:255)
"Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His light is as if there was a niche and within it a lamp; the lamp enclosed in glass; the glass as it were a brilliant star; lit from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it; Light upon Light! Allah doth set forth His parables for men and Allah doth know all things." (24:35)
"Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god, who knows both the secret and the open, He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god; the Soveriegn, the Holy One, the Source of Peace, the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme; Glory to Allah! (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." (59:22-24)
"Say: 'Who is it that sustains you from the sky and from the earth? Or who is it that has power over hearing and sight? And who is it that brings out the living from the dead and the dead from the living? And who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?' They will soon say, 'Allah'. Say, 'Will you not then show piety'?" (10:31)
"He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Hidden; And He has full knowledge of all things." (57:3)
"No vision can grasp Him but His grasp is over all vision; He is above all comprehension yet is acquainted with all things." (6:103)
"Such is Allah, your real Cherisher and Sustainer; apart from Truth, what but error? How then are you turned away?" (10:32)
"To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return."
