God's existence and power - in the Quran

In the Quran, God's existence and power are emphasized throughout the text. The Islamic belief in the oneness of God, known as Tawheed, is a central tenet of the faith and is repeatedly mentioned in the Quran. The Quran asserts that God is the only creator and sustainer of the universe, and that there is nothing that can compare to His power and authority.

The Quran describes God as being merciful, compassionate, and just. It also emphasizes His knowledge and wisdom, and His ability to control all aspects of creation. God's power is demonstrated through the creation of the universe, the natural world, and the complexity of human beings.
