HE IS EXALTED ABOVE ANY DEFECT
Have they not travelled in the land and seen the final fate of those
before them? They were far greater than them in strength. Allah
cannot be withstood in any way, either in the heavens or on earth.
He is All-Knowing, All-Powerful. (Qur'an, 35:44)
And say: 'Praise be to Allah Who has had no son and Who has no
partner in His Kingdom and Who needs no one to protect Him
from abasement.' And proclaim His Greatness repeatedly! (Qur'an,
17:111)
Allah is He Who created you, then provides for you, then will
cause you to die and then bring you back to life. Can any of your
partner-gods do any of that? Glory be to Him and may He be
exalted above anything they associate with Him! (Qur'an, 30:40)
Do they not see that Allah-He Who created the heavens and the
earth and was not wearied by creating them--has the power to
bring the dead to life? Yes indeed! He has power over all things.
(Qur'an, 46:33)
We created the heavens and the earth, and everything between
them, in six days and We were not affected by fatigue. (Qur'an,
50:38)
HE HAS NOT GIVEN BIRTH
AND WAS NOT BORN
He has not given birth and was not born. (Qur'an, 112:3)
They say, 'Allah has a son.' Glory be to Him! He is the Rich Beyond
Need. Everything in the heavens and everything on the earth
belongs to Him. Have you authority to say this or are you saying
about Allah what you do not know? (Qur'an, 10:68)
It is not fitting for Allah to have a son. Glory be to Him! When He
decides on something, He just says to it, 'Be!' and it is. (Qur'an,
19:35)
