ATTRIBUTES OF ALLAH
Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.(2. 255).
No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is above all comprehension. (6. 103).
Such is He, the Knower of all things, hidden and open, the Exalted, the Merciful. (32. 6).
It is He Who is
Allah
in Heaven and
Allah
in earth, he is full of Wisdom and Knowledge. To Him belongs the dominions of the heavens and the earth, and all between them. With Him is the knowledge of the Hour of Judgement, and to Him you shall all be brought back (43. 84-85).
He is the First and the Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is Knower of all things. (57. 3).
Allah
is He than Whom there is no other god. He knows all things, both secret and open. He is Most Gracious, Most Merciful. (59. 22).
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, the Mighty, the Irresistible, the Supreme, above all partners (59. 23).
He is
Allah
the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. (59. 24).
He is
Allah
the One and Only, Allah the Eternal, Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten, and there is none like Him. (Surah:112. 1-4).
ALLAH-MOST BEAUTIFUL NAMES
Most beautiful names belong to Allah, and
the believers are enjoined to call upon Allah
by such beautiful names : Asma-ul-Husna.
The most beautiful names belong to Allah. So call Him by such names, but shun such men who refer to Him with profanity. What you do would be requited. (7. 180).
Call upon Allah. Call upon Rahmaan. By whatever beautiful name you call upon Him it is well, for to Him belong the most beautiful names. (17. 110).
Allah; there is no god but He. To Him belongs the most beautiful names. (20. 8).
He is Allah, the Creator, the Shaper out of naught, the Fashioner. His are the most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifieth Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise. (59. 24).
ALLAH-THE OMNISCIENT
One of the attributes of Allah is that He is omniscient. He has perfect knowledge of all things hidden or open.
Of all things Allah
has perfect knowledge. (2. 29).
Allah
knows the secrets of heaven and earth, and He knows what you reveal and what you conceal.
(2. 33).
Do not conceal evidence for Allah
knows all that you do (2. 283).
Whether you show what is in your mind or conceal it, Allah is well aware of that and will call you to, account
therefore. (2. 284).
From Allah
verily, nothing is hidden on earth or in the heavens. (3. 5).
Whatever you hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all. He knows what is in the Heavens and what is on earth. (3. 29).
Allah
knows well all the secrets of the heart.(2.119).
Allah
knows what you hide and what you reveal and He knows the recompense which you earn by your deeds. (6. 3).
With Allah
are the keys of the unseen treasures that none know but He. He knows whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but with His knowledge. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry of which He does not have knowledge. (6. 59).
It is He Who takes your souls by night and has knowledge of all that you have done by day. (6. 60).
He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. In that day when He saith: Be! it is.. His word is the truth, and His will be the Sovereignty on the day when the trumpet is blown. Knower of the invisible and the visible, He is the Wise, the Aware. (6. 73).
Allah
knows best who stray from His Way. He knows best who they are that receive His guidance. (6. 117).
Allah
knows what every female womb bears, by how much the wombs fall short of their time. Every single thing is before His sight. (13. 8).
Allah
knows the unseen and the seen. (13. 9).
It is the same to Him whether any of you conceal his speech or declare it openly, whether he lies hidden by night, or walks forth freely by day. (13.10).
Undoubtedly Allah
knows what they conceal and what they reveal. (16. 23).
Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah
alone. It is He Who sends down rain, and it is He Who knows what is in the womb. Nor does any one know what it is that he will earn on the morrow. Nor does any one know in what land he is to die. Verily with
Allah
is full knowledge and He is acquainted with all things. (21. 34).
He knoweth that which goeth down into the earth and that which cometh forth from it, and that which descendeth from the heaven and that which ascendeth into it. He is the Merciful, the Forgiving.(34. 2).
He knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and He knoweth what ye conceal and what ye publish. and
Allah
is Aware of what is in the breasts (of men). (64. 4).
ALLAH-THE PLANNER
When the Quraysh of Makkah came to know that the Holy Prophet
Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam and his followers were planning migration to Madinah, they held a counsel of war and hit upon a plan. According to the plan, each section of the Quraysh picked out its bravest young men. The young men from all the sections were to surround the house of the Holy Prophet
Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam by night. The plan was that when the Holy Prophet
Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam came out of the house in the morning, all the young men were to fall on the Holy Prophet
Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam and kill him.
Allah revealed the plot to the Holy Prophet Sal
Allaho Alehe Wasallam. The Holy Prophet
Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam left Hazrat Ali Raziallah
Anho in his bed, and himself left along with Hazrat Abu Bakr Raziallah
Anho, and sought shelter in a cave in Mountain Thaur outside Makkah. This event is referred to in Surah 8.
And remember when the disbelievers made their plan to confine you, or kill you, or expel you, they made their plans and
Allah
made His plan, and
Allah
is the best of Planners. (8. 30).
