Quran Verses about Oneness of Allah (tawhid)

وَإِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١٦٣

Wa ilāhukum ilāhuw wāḥid, lā ilāha illā huwar-raḥmānur-raḥīm.

And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُۚ لَا تَأۡخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٞ وَلَا نَوۡمٞۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَشۡفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِهِۦۚ يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيۡءٖ مِّنۡ عِلۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَۚ وَسِعَ كُرۡسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفۡظُهُمَاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيُّ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٢٥٥

Allāhu lā ilāha illā huwal-ḥayyul-qayyūm, lā taʾkhudhuhū sinatuw wa lā nawm, lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ, man dhal-ladhī yashfaʿu ʿindahū illā biʾidhnih, yaʿlamu mā bayna aydīhim wa mā khalfahum, wa lā yuḥīṭūna bishayʾim min ʿilmihī illā bimā shāʾ, wasiʿa kursiyyuhus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa lā yaʾūduhū ḥifẓuhumā, wa huwal-ʿaliyyul-ʿaẓīm.

Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living,¹ the Self-Sustaining.² Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,³ and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī⁴ extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High,⁵ the Most Great.⁶

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُ ٢

Allāh witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ لَيَجۡمَعَنَّكُمۡ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهِۗ وَمَنۡ أَصۡدَقُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ حَدِيثٗا ٨٧

O mankind, remember the favor of Allāh upon you. Is there any creator other than Allāh who provides for you from the heaven and earth? There is no deity except Him, so how are you deluded?

Inna ilāhakum lawāḥid.

Indeed, your God is One,

Innahum kānū idhā qīla lahum lā ilāha illallāhu yastakbirūn.

Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allāh," were arrogant

قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ مُنذِرٞۖ وَمَا مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡوَٰحِدُ ٱلۡقَهَّارُ ٦٥

Huwal-ḥayyu lā ilāha illā huwa fadʿūhu mukhliṣīna lahud-dīn, al-ḥamdu lillāhi rabbil-ʿālamīn.

He is the Ever-Living;¹ there is no deity except Him, so call upon Him, [being] sincere to Him in religion. [All] praise is [due] to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَٰهٞ وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَٰهٞۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٨٤

Wa huwal-ladhī fis-samāʾi ilāhuw wa fil-arḍi ilāh, wa huwal-ḥakīmul-ʿalīm.

And it is He [i.e., Allāh] who is [the only] deity in the heaven, and on the earth [the only] deity. And He is the Wise, the Knowing.

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۖ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٨

Lā ilāha illā huwa yuḥyī wa yumīt, rabbukum wa rabbu ābāʾikumul-awwalīn.

There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.

فَٱعۡلَمۡ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لِذَنۢبِكَ وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مُتَقَلَّبَكُمۡ وَمَثۡوَىٰكُمۡ ١٩

Faʿlam annahū lā ilāha illallāhu wastaghfir lidhanbika walil-muʾminīna wal-muʾmināt, wallāhu yaʿlamu mutaqallabakum wa mathwākum.

So know, [O Muḥammad], that there is no deity except Allāh and ask forgiveness for your sin¹ and for the believing men and believing women. And Allāh knows of your movement and your resting place.

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ١٣

Allāhu lā ilāha illā huw, wa ʿalallāhi falyatawakkalil-muʾminūn.

Allāh - there is no deity except Him. And upon Allāh let the believers rely.

Rabbul-mashriqi wal-maghribi lā ilāha illā huwa fattakhidhhu wakīlā.

[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs.¹

قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ١

Qul huwallāhu aḥad.

Say, "He is Allāh, [who is] One,¹

ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ ٢

Allāhuṣ-ṣamad.

Allāh, the Eternal Refuge.¹

لَمۡ يَلِدۡ وَلَمۡ يُولَدۡ ٣

Lam yalid wa lam yūlad.

He neither begets nor is born,

وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدُۢ ٤

Wa lam yakul lahū kufuwan aḥad.

Nor is there to Him any equivalent."

إِنِّي وَجَّهۡتُ وَجۡهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ حَنِيفٗاۖ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ٧٩

Innī wajjahtu wajhiya lil-ladhī faṭaras-samāwāti wal-arḍa ḥanīfā, wa mā ana minal-mushrikīn.

Indeed, I have turned my face [i.e., self] toward He who created the heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not of those who associate others with Allāh."

وَإِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمۡ هُودٗاۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓۖ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا مُفۡتَرُونَ ٥٠

Wa ilā ʿādin akhāhum hūdā, qāla yāqawmiʿbudullāha mā lakum min ilāhin ghayruh, in antum illā muftarūn.

And to ʿAad [We sent] their brother Hūd. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. You are not but inventors [of falsehood].

۞ وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمۡ صَٰلِحٗاۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥۖ هُوَ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱسۡتَعۡمَرَكُمۡ فِيهَا فَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُوهُ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي قَرِيبٞ مُّجِيبٞ ٦١

Wa ilā thamūda akhāhum ṣāliḥā, qāla yāqawmiʿbudullāha mā lakum min ilāhin ghayruh, huwa anshaʾakum minal-arḍi wastaʿmarakum fīhā fastaghfirūhu thumma tūbū ilayh, inna rabbī qarībum mujīb.

And to Thamūd [We sent] their brother Ṣāliḥ. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. He has produced you from the earth and settled you in it, so ask forgiveness of Him and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive."

۞ وَإِلَىٰ مَدۡيَنَ أَخَاهُمۡ شُعَيۡبٗاۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥۖ وَلَا تَنقُصُواْ ٱلۡمِكۡيَالَ وَٱلۡمِيزَانَۖ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰكُم بِخَيۡرٖ وَإِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٖ مُّحِيطٖ ٨٤

Wa ilā madyana akhāhum shuʿaybā, qāla yāqawmiʿbudullāha mā lakum min ilāhin ghayruh, wa lā tanquṣul-mikyāla wal-mīzān, innī arākum bikhayriw wa innī akhāfu ʿalaykum ʿadhāba yawmim muḥīṭ.

And to Madyan [We sent] their brother Shuʿayb. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. And do not decrease from the measure and the scale. Indeed, I see you in prosperity, but indeed, I fear for you the punishment of an all-encompassing Day.

يُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ بِٱلرُّوحِ مِنۡ أَمۡرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦٓ أَنۡ أَنذِرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱتَّقُونِ ٢

Yunazzilul-malāʾikata bir-rūḥi min amrihī ʿalā may yashāʾu min ʿibādihī an andhirū annahū lā ilāha illā ana fattaqūn.

He sends down the angels, with the inspiration [i.e., revelation] of His command, upon whom He wills of His servants, [telling them], "Warn that there is no deity except Me; so fear Me."

وَلَقَدۡ بَعَثۡنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٖ رَّسُولًا أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَۖ فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ حَقَّتۡ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُۚ فَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٣٦

Wa laqad baʿathnā fī kulli ummatir rasūlan aniʿbudullāha wajtanibuṭ-ṭāghūt, faminhum man hadallāhu wa minhum man ḥaqqat ʿalayhiḍ-ḍalālah, fasīrū fil-arḍi fanẓurū kayfa kāna ʿāqibatul-mukadhdhibīn.

And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allāh and avoid ṭāghūt."¹ And among them were those whom Allāh guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed [i.e., travel] through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدُونِ ٢٥

Wa mā arsalnā min qablika mir rasūlin illā nūḥī ilayhi annahū lā ilāha illā ana faʿbudūn.

And We sent not before you any messenger except We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me."

وَذَا ٱلنُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَٰضِبٗا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِي ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ أَن لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٨٧

Wa dhan-nūni idh dhahaba mughāḍiban faẓanna al lan naqdira ʿalayhi fanādā fiẓ-ẓulumāti al lā ilāha illā anta subḥānaka innī kuntu minaẓ-ẓālimīn.

And [mention] the man of the fish [i.e., Jonah], when he went off in anger¹ and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him.² And he called out within the darknesses,³ "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ فَقَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ٢٣

Wa laqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihī faqāla yāqawmiʿbudullāha mā lakum min ilāhin ghayruh, afalā tattaqūn.

And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِمۡ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ٣٢

Fa arsalnā fīhim rasūlam minhum aniʿbudullāha mā lakum min ilāhin ghayruh, afalā tattaqūn.

And We sent among them a messenger¹ from themselves, [saying], "Worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

قُل لَّوۡ كَانَ مَعَهُۥٓ ءَالِهَةٞ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذٗا لَّٱبۡتَغَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ سَبِيلٗا ٤٢

Qul law kāna maʿahū ālihatun kamā yaqūlūna idhal labtaghaw ilā dhil-ʿarshi sabīlā.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way."¹

سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ عُلُوّٗا كَبِيرٗا ٤٣

Subḥānahū wa taʿālā ʿammā yaqūlūna ʿuluwwan kabīrā.

Exalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity.

لَوۡ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ٢٢

Law kāna fīhimā ālihatun illallāhu lafasadatā, fasubḥānallāhi rabbil-ʿarshi ʿammā yaṣifūn.

Had there been within them [i.e., the heavens and earth] gods besides Allāh, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allāh, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

مَا ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٖ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُۥ مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍۚ إِذٗا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَٰهِۭ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۚ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ٩١

Mattakhadhallāhu miw waladiw wa mā kāna maʿahū min ilāh, idhal ladhahaba kullu ilāhim bimā khalaqa wa laʿalā baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍ, subḥānallāhi ʿammā yaṣifūn.

Allāh has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have [sought to] overcome others. Exalted is Allāh above what they describe [concerning Him].

أَمۡ خُلِقُواْ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ شَيۡءٍ أَمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ ٣٥

Am khuliqū min ghayri shayʾin am humul-khāliqūn.

Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?

أَمۡ خَلَقُواْ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ ٣٦

Am khalaqus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, bal lā yūqinūn.

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain.

يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَقَّۚ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُۥٓ أَلۡقَىٰهَآ إِلَىٰ مَرۡيَمَ وَرُوحٞ مِّنۡهُۖ فَـَٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۖ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ ثَلَٰثَةٌۚ ٱنتَهُواْ خَيۡرٗا لَّكُمۡۚ إِنَّمَا ٱللَّهُ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُۥ وَلَدٞۘ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلٗا ١٧١

O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion¹ or say about Allāh except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allāh and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allāh and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allāh is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allāh as Disposer of affairs.

لَّقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَٰثَةٖۘ وَمَا مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّآ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۚ وَإِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهُواْ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٧٣

Laqad kafaral-ladhīna qālū innallāha thālithu thalāthah, wa mā min ilāhin illā ilāhuw wāḥid, wa il lam yantahū ʿammā yaqūlūna layamassannal-ladhīna kafarū minhum ʿadhābun alīm.

They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allāh is the third of three."¹ And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.

ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَحۡبَارَهُمۡ وَرُهۡبَٰنَهُمۡ أَرۡبَابٗا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسِيحَ ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدٗاۖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٣١

Ittakhadhū aḥbārahum wa ruhbānahum arbābam min dūnillāhi wal-masīḥabna maryama wa mā umirū illā liyaʿbudū ilāhaw wāḥidā, lā ilāha illā huw, subḥānahū ʿammā yushrikūn.

They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allāh,¹ and [also] the Messiah, the son of Mary.² And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.
