He is the Only God

Earlier this morning I was reading some stats on our universe dealing with how big it really is.  Some of the stats got me to thinking about how little this earth and its inhabitants are compared to the rest if existence.     It also makes you realize just how big God is! We still cannot fully comprehend his enormity! No visions can ever encompass Him, while He encompasses all visions.... [Quran 6:103] Our minds are overwhelmed at the vastness of our universe, let alone the `infinite' size of the largest, outermost universe. How can we grasp God's greatness when something "held within His hand" is beyond our grasp? Now we are in a better position to appreciate the following statements of His absolute Oneness: High above all nations is the Lord; above the heavens is his glory. Who is like the Lord, our God, who is enthroned on high and looks upon the heavens and the earth below? [Psalm 113:4-6] His Oneness is not only in His glory, but also in the fact that He alone is eternally pre-existing: Proclaim: "He is the only God, the eternal God; He never begets, nor was He begotten. There is none that is comparable to Him." [Quran 112:1-4] He alone should be worshiped: I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. You shall not have other gods besides me. You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth; you shall not bow down before them or worship them. For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God.... [Exodus 20:2-5] His greatness is beyond our comprehension: He is the only God; there is no other god besides Him. He is the knower of all secrets, as well as all declarations. He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. He is the only God; there is no other god besides Him. He is the King, the Sacred, the Peace-giver, the Faithful, the Supreme, the Almighty, the Most Powerful, the Most High. God be glorified; He is much too Great to have any idols to rank with Him. He is the only God; there is no god besides Him. He is the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him belongs the most beautiful attributes. Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the Most Wise. [Quran 59:22-24] Truly, this is the one whom we should worship with all our minds and all our souls and all our hearts!
