We say about the unity of Allah believing with the help of Allah – that Allah is one, without any partners.
There is nothing like Him.
There is nothing that can overwhelm Him.
There is no god other than Him.
He is the eternal without a beginning and enduring without end.
He will never perish or come to an end.
Nothing happens except what He wills.
No imagination can conceive of Him and no understanding can comprehend Him.
He is different from any created being.
He is living and He never dies, and He is forever sustaining and He never sleeps.
He creates without needing to create, and He provides for His creation without any effort.
He causes death with no fear and restores to life without difficulty.
He has always existed together with His attributes since before creation. Bringing creation into existence did not add anything to His attributes that was not already there. As He was together with His attributes before time, so He will remain forever.
It was not only after the act of creation that He could be described as the Creator, nor was it only by the act of origination that He could he described as the Originator.
He was the Lord even when there were no servants and He was the Creator even when there was no creation.
Just as He gives life to the dead, He deserves this name even before He gave life. Likewise, He deserves the name “the Creator” even before He made them.ُ
This is because He has the power to do everything, everything is dependent upon Him, everything is easy for Him, and He does not need anything, as Allah said:
“There is nothing like Him and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.”
(42:11)
He created the creation with His knowledge.
He appointed destinies for those He created.
He granted them fixed life spans.
Nothing about them was hidden from Him before He created them, and He knew everything that they would do before He created them.
He ordered them to obey Him and forbade them to disobey Him.
Everything happens according to His decree and will, and His will is always accomplished. The only will that people have is what He wills for them. What He wills for them occurs and what He does not will does not occur.
He gives guidance to whoever He wills and He protects them and keeps them safe from harm out of His generosity, and He leads astray whoever He wills and He humiliates them and He afflicts them out of His justice.
All of them are subject to His will between either His generosity or His justice.
He is exalted beyond having opposites or equals.

No one can ward off His decree or put back His command or overpower His affairs.

We believe in all of this and are certain that everything comes from Him.
Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
