The Originator of the heavens and earth. When He decides on
something, He just says to it, 'Be!' and it is. (Qur'an, 2:117)

HE IS BEYOND NEED
Whoever strives does it entirely for himself. Allah is Rich Beyond
Need of any being. (Qur'an, 29:6)
He Who possessed knowledge of the Book said, 'I will bring it to
you before your glance returns to you.' And when he (Sulayman)
saw it standing firmly in his presence, he said, 'This is part of my
Lord's favour to test me to see if I will give thanks or show
ingratitude. Whoever gives thanks only does so to his own gain.
Whoever is ungrateful, my Lord is Rich Beyond Need, Generous.'
(Qur'an, 27:40)
Mankind! you are the poor in need of Allah whereas Allah is the
Rich Beyond Need, the Praiseworthy. (Qur'an, 35:15)
Musa said, 'If you were to be ungrateful, you and everyone on the
earth, Allah is Rich Beyond Need, Praiseworthy.' (Qur'an, 14:8)
Correct and courteous words accompanied by forgiveness are
better than charity followed by insulting words. Allah is Rich
Beyond Need, All-Forbearing. (Qur'an, 2:263)
Here you are then: people who are called upon to spend in the
Way of Allah and then some of you are tight-fisted! But whoever
is tight-fisted is only tight-fisted to himself. Allah is Rich and you
are poor. If you turn away, He will replace you with a people other
than yourselves and they will not be like you. (Qur'an, 47:38)

HE IS THE ONE ON
WHOM ALL DEPEND
Allah, the Everlasting Sustainer of all. (Qur'an, 112:2)
Mankind! you are the poor in need of Allah whereas Allah is the
Rich Beyond Need, the Praiseworthy. (Qur'an, 35:15)
