In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful
(Muhammad), say, "He is the only God (112:1). God is Absolute (2). He neither begets nor was He begotten (3). There is no one equal to Him (4). al-ikhlas 112
This chapter with all its brevity is considered to contain the gist or the spirit of the Absolute Unity of God which is the fundamentals of the faith, Islam. It is considered that one third of the Quran is revealed as an explanation of this Synthesis. It is said that the Holy Prophet was asked to give the idea of godhead which he preached and this Chapter was revealed.
Attributes of Allah
He is God, the only Lord, Who knows the unseen and the seen. He is the Beneficent and All-merciful One (22).al-hashrHe is the only Lord, the King, the Holy, the Peace, the Forgiver, the Watchful Guardian, the Majestic, the Dominant, and the Exalted. God is too exalted to have any partner (23). al-hashr
He is the Creator, the Designer, the Modeler, and to Him belong all virtuous names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. He is All-majestic and All-wise (24). al-hashr

These verses contain the most beautiful of God’s names using which in his supplication any sincere believer can invoke the infinite mercy of the Lord for the blessings desired by the adorer. None of the divine attributes of His, in any way or any extent resemble the qualities in any of His creatures. Thus He is the unique unit in all respects in the Absolute sense of the term.
