ONENESS OF GOD IN ISLAM

God: there is no deity save Him, the Living, the Eternal One. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belong whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows all that is before them and all that is behind them. They can grasp only that part of His knowledge which He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth; and their upholding does not weary Him. He is the Sublime, the Almighty One! (2: 255) o To delay work is idle and irresponsible, but to do it with unseemly haste is a sign of crass impatience. In the world of God, where each event has its allotted time, both extremes are doomed to failure.
