God says:
GOD IS HE save whom there is no deity; the One who knows all that is beyond a created being’s perception, as well as all that can be witnessed by a creature’s senses or mind: He, the Most Graceful, the Most Gracious. God is He save whom there is no deity: the Sovereign Supreme, the Holy, the One with whom all salvation rests, the Giver of Faith, the One who determines what is true and false, the Almighty, the One to whom all greatness belongs!Utterly remote is God, in His limitless glory, from anything to which men may ascribe a share in His Divinity!He is God, the Creator, the Maker who shapes all forms and appearances! His [alone] are the attributes of perfection. All that is in the heavens and on earth extols His limitless glory: for He alone is almighty, truly wise! -- Q.59: 22 ; 24
From God’s attributes of perfection no where else in the Quran so many are mentioned together at one place as are mentioned in chapter 59 above. All these stand for God’s oneness as well as His Uniqueness.
Say: ”He is the One God:“God the Eternal, the Uncaused Cause of All Being. *“He begets not, and neither is He begotten;“and there is nothing that could be compared with Him.” -- Q.112
This rendering gives no more than approximate meaning of the Arabic term as-samad, which occurs in the Qur’an only once, and is applied to God alone. It comprises the concepts of Primary Cause and eternal, independent Being, combined with the idea that everything existing or conceivable goes back to Him as its source and is, therefore dependent on Him for its beginning as well as for its continued existence.
Prophet said:
1. “ The best rememberance is ‘la ilaha illallah’ (There is no deity but Allah); and the best invocation is ‘alhamdo lillah’ (All praise is for Allah) – H: Tirmizi. N: Jaber.
2. “ ‘Subhanallahi (glory be to God), Walhamdu lil lahi (all praise is for God), wala ilaha illallahu (there is no deity except God), wallaahu akbar (God is the greatest).’ is dearer to me than everything on which the sun rises.” – H: Muslim. N: Abu Hurairah.
Formulas of GLORIFYING AND PRAISING GOD have naturally great merit if recited with concentration upon meanings and their significance. Do it on a regular basis. God prefers good act that is regular though it may be small. You will get enlightened, insha-Allah.. More formulas in topic 2.
