Who is Allah?

Let me introduce my Lord to you through His own Words...  Al-Qur'an!

Allah, is the proper name applied to One True Divine God.

Allah's Attributes: 

Allah says: 
He is Allah , other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him. He is Allah , the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (Surah Al Hashr: 23-24)
Allah(swt) is One and Unique. There is no one like Him, He has no son or any partners.
Allah says:
 Say, "He is Allah , [who is] One, Allah , the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent." (Surah Al-Ikhlas: 1-4)

Allah's Power:

Allah says:
 Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is. (Surah Al-Baqara:117)
For any matter to take place, Allah(swt) just have to say to it "BE" and it takes place. He need not keep giving instructions or commands or keep following up. Just one word, and it is done. This shows the power of the All-Mighty Allah, How Great He actually is.

Allah's Mercy, Love and Justice:

Allah says:
 [Moses] said, "My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful." (Surah Al-A'raf:151)
 My mercy encompasses all things. (Al-A'raf:156)
 Allah says:
 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate (Al-Buruj:14)
Allah says:
 Allah witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. ('Al Imran: 18)

Allah is far removed from every imperfection:

Allah says:
 Allah - there is no deity 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 extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. (Al-Baqarah:255)

Allah is the Only Lord, the Creator, the Sovereign and the Manager of all affairs:

Allah says: 
 Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them - so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?" (Surah Maryam:65)
  O people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed, those you invoke besides Allah will never create [as much as] a fly, even if they gathered together for that purpose. And if the fly should steal away from them a [tiny] thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer and pursued. (Surah Al-Hajj:73)
Allah(swt) is the Only True God and all the other deities are false. He is One and Unique, He has no associate in His Divinity, His Godship, His Goodship and in His Names or His Attributes. There is no one to share His Domain nor does He need an aide or a supporter.

Allah's Knowledge:

Allah says:
 And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts. Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Acquainted? (Surah Al-Mulk:13-14)
 And not absent from your Lord is any [part] of an atom's weight within the earth or within the heaven or [anything] smaller than that or greater but that it is in a clear register. (Surah Yunus:61)
 [Moses] said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets." (Surah Taha:52)
 Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden. (Surah Al-'A'la:7)
 Allah knows what every female carries and what the wombs lose [prematurely] or exceed. And everything with Him is by due measure. [He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Grand, the Exalted. It is the same [to Him] concerning you whether one conceals [his] speech or one publicizes it and whether one is hidden by night or conspicuous [among others] by day. (Surah Ar-Ra'd:8-10)

Allah is the Compassionate and the Merciful:

Allah says: 
  And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, "Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one. (Surah Al-Kahf:49)
 Indeed, Allah does not wrong the people at all, but it is the people who are wronging themselves. (Surah Yunus:44)
Allah(swt) is far removed from injustice and tyranny. If some bad befalls us it is either because of what our hands had sent forth or it is a test from Allah, to take us close to Him and forgive our sins. Who can be Most Merciful than Allah(swt)??
         
            Allah says:
 “Declare (O Muhammad) unto My slaves, that truly, I am the Oft-Forgiving, the Most-Merciful. And that My Torment is indeed the most painful torment.” [15:49-50] 

 Allah is the Provider:

 Allah says:
 Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted. (Surah Luqman:34)
 To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates what he wills. He gives to whom He wills female [children], and He gives to whom He wills males. Or He makes them [both] males and females, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent. (Surah Ash-Shuraa:49-50)

Allah is above His Creations:

 Allah says:
 Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise. (Surah Al-Baqarah:220)
 And He is the subjugator over His servants. And He is the Wise, the Acquainted [with all]. (Surah Al-'An'am:18)

Allah's Forgiveness:

 Allah says:
 Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." (Surah Az-Zumar:53) 

Allah's Signs:

  Allah says:
 He created the heavens without pillars that you see and has cast into the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with you, and dispersed therein from every creature. And We sent down rain from the sky and made grow therein [plants] of every noble kind. This is the creation of Allah . So show Me what those other than Him have created. Rather, the wrongdoers are in clear error. (Surah Luqman:10-11)
  Allah says:
 Indeed, Allah is the cleaver of grain and date seeds. He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living. That is Allah ; so how are you deluded?  
[He is] the cleaver of daybreak and has made the night for rest and the sun and moon for calculation. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
 And it is He who placed for you the stars that you may be guided by them through the darknesses of the land and sea. We have detailed the signs for a people who know.
 And it is He who produced you from one soul and [gave you] a place of dwelling and of storage. We have detailed the signs for a people who understand.
 And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees - of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe. 
(Surah Al-'An'am:95-99)

HE IS MY LORD. I BELIEVE IN HIM. TO HIM I PRAY, TO HIM I SEEK HELP, AND TO HIM IS MY RETURN. THINK ABOUT ALL THOSE WHOM YOU CALL BESIDES ALLAH, DO THEY HAVE ANYTHING SIMILAR TO HIM? THINK ABOUT IT....!!! TIME IS SHORT!
