There is only one Lord and Creator, Who has numerous excellent Names and Attributes that denote His Perfection, such as the Creator, the All-Merciful, the Provider, and the Most Generous. "Allah," the Lord Almighty's most well-known name, which means: the One Who is alone worthy of worship and Who has no partner.

Allah Almighty says in the Holy Qur'an

,﴿قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ* ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ*لَمۡ یَلِدۡ وَلَمۡ یُولَدۡ*وَلَمۡ یَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدُۢ﴾"Say: "He is Allah, the One,*Allah, the Eternal Refuge.*He neither begets nor was He begotten,*and there is none comparable to Him..

""[112: 1-4]

Allah Almighty also says,

﴿اللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلا نَوْمٌ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ﴾"Allah: none has the right to be worshiped except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. Who is there that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what was before them and what will be after them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge, except what He wills. His Kursī [i.e., footstool] extends over the heavens and earth, and safeguarding of both does not weary Him, for He is the Most High, the Most Great.".

[2: 255]
