"O men! Call to mind the grace of Allah unto you! Is there a Creator other than Allah to give you Sustenance from heaven or earth? There is no god but He: how then are ye deluded away from the Truth?" (Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 35:3)

Allah's Oneness as Lord.

It is to assert the uniqueness and exclusiveness of His control over everything that exists in the universe.

Qur'an: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the WORLD (mankind, jinns and all that exists)." (Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 1:1)

Sunna: "You are the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth." (Bukhari and Muslim)

Allah's Oneness as the Only One to Be Worshipped.

It is to devote to Him exclusively all acts of worship.

Qur'an: "And your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God-Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (there is none who has the right to be worshipped but (He), the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful." (Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 2:153)

Sunna: "Let the first thing you invite them to do be to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah." In another version in Bukhari, "...to assert Allah's Oneness." (Bukhari-Muslim)

Allah's Names and Attributes.

It is to state Allah's Attributes as He Himself described them in His Book and as His Messenger described Him in the Sunna (authentic hadith).

Qur'an: "There is nothing like unto Him and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer" (Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 42:11)

Sunna: "Allah descends each night to the first heaven." (Ahmad) (that is: He descends in a way befitting His Majesty, which is unlike the action of any of His creations).

We must not name or qualify Allah ( except with what He or His Messenger has named or qualified Him.

None of Allah's creatures can be named or qualified with the Names or Qualities of Allah; e.g. Al-Karim;

We must believe in all the names and attributes of Allah ( which Allah has stated in His Book (the Qur'an) or mentioned through His Messenger (Muhammad), without changing their meanings or ignoring them completely or likening them (giving resemblance) to any of the created things. Ex. Allah is present over His Throne as mentioned in the Qur'an (20:5).

"The Most Gracious (Allah) rose over (istawa) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty), over the seventh heaven; and He comes down over the first (nearest) heaven to us during the last third part of every night and also on the day of Arafah (Hajj, i.e. the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah), as mentioned by the Prophet, but He is with us by His Knowledge, not by His Personal-Self " (Bi-Dhatihi).
