concept of God

Quran


They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers. Quran 5:72


They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of three." 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. Quran 5:73


[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. Quran 19:30



It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is. Quran 19:35


[Jesus said], "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path." Quran 19:36


Say, "He is Allah , [who is] One, Allah , the Eternal Refuge.
 He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent." Quran 112:1-4

Isaiah 43:11-12
I, even I, am the LORD, 
   and apart from me there is no savior.
I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— 
   I, and not some foreign god among you.
 
You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.


Isaiah 45:5-12

I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Isaiah 46:9 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.


Exodus 20:3-5

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
