Who is Allah?

These are some of Allah's own words translated in english. Here he describs himself for our understanding.

Say, Allah is the one. Allah upon whom all depends. He begot(give birth) none, nor was He begotten(given birth to). None is equal to Him.

Allah is the light of heavens & earth. The example of his light is as(if there was ) niche and within it a lamp, the lamp within a glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed olive tree, neither eastern nor western, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself) though no fire touched it, light upon light, Allah guides to His light whom He will. And Allah sets forth parables(examples)for mankind and Allah has knowledge of all things.

Sura e Noor Verse 35

Allah! There is no God but He,-the Living, the Self-Subsisting, Eternal.
(Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #2

Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)."
[Surah al-Baqarah 2: 255]

Allah is God of all mankind and his words Quran(guidenss) is for all mankind. Quran is your book too, Allah is your God too.
