None shares either His attributes or His power and might, and no one has the same claims against the creatures as He. He alone wields all sovereign authority over His dominion.
In fact, He is not only self-existent, but upon Him rests the entire order of the universe. Irrespective of the number of gods or objects of worship set up by ignorant people, the fact remains that godhead in its entirety, belongs exclusively to the Eternal Being, Who is indebted to no one for His existence. His Dominion overspreads the heavens and the earth, and their upholding wearies Him not. He knows what lies before them and what is hidden from them, whereas they cannot attain to anything of His knowledge save what He wills them to attain. Who is there who might intercede with Him save with His leave? Neither slumber seizes Him, nor sleep to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth.
(2:255) Allah, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting by Whom all subsist, there is no god but He.
