Allah, Ar'Reh'maan the Exalted is to be recognized as:
The first recognition of Allah, Ar'Reh'maan the Exalted is: the Sustainer Lord of the universes - all that exists. And the corollary recognition is that He the Exalted is: such Lord who maintains Aloneness. It is interesting that this recognition is firstly mentioned in accompaniment to the Personal Name: Ar'Reh'maan:
And remain mindful that the Iiela'aha: Sovereign Sustainer Lord of you people is characteristically such Sustainer Lord Who maintains Aloneness.
Realize it about miscellany of iela'aha: deities that are uncritically admired, adorned and worshipped; none of them is alive; none of them organizes, administers or sustains others, except He the Alone Sustainer Lord.
He, the Solitary Living Sovereign Sustainer Lord, worthy to be uncritically admired and adorned, is Ar'Reh'maan, the Fountain of Infinite Mercy. [2:163]
The first sentence of Ayah: also finds mention in another five Ayahs, reproduced below:
Remain mindful that the Iiela'aha: Sovereign Sustainer Lord of you people is characteristically such Sustainer Lord Who maintains Aloneness.
Thereby, those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are reluctant to acknowledge this fact.
And they are in fact obsessed by self-pride of grandeur. [16:22]
You the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] pronounce: "No doubt I am a human being; characteristically like you people; the other feature of identity is the Communication of Word of Allah the Exalted to me:
That the Iiela'aha: the Iiela'aha: Sovereign Sustainer Lord of you people is characteristically such Sustainer Lord Who maintains Aloneness.
Therefore, whoever expects to be held accountable before his Sustainer Lord:
Thereby he should act performing righteous deeds and he should not associate any one in demonstrative allegiance - servitude for his Sustainer Lord." [18:110]
You the Messenger Muhammad [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] pronounce, "Indeed what is communicated to me is:
That the Iiela'aha: Sovereign Sustainer Lord of you people is characteristically such Sustainer Lord Who maintains Aloneness.
Then, for this reason, do you people surrender to this fact?" [21:108]
Know it; Our Majesty have declared one and the same obligatory procedure for every nation - generation to mention the name of Allah the Exalted upon the stout bodied mammals; which He the Exalted has provided them as sustenance, while slaughtering - sacrificing them;
Since the Iiela'aha: the Sovereign Sustainer Lord of you people is Uniquely Absolute Iela'aha: Uncritically Glorified Deity, the retainer of Singularity- the Entity not being of physical realm
Therefore you people submit - be allegiant and subject exclusively for Him the Exalted.
And you the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] give glad tidings to those who are humble and content; [22:34]
You the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] pronounce: "No doubt I am a human being; characteristically like you people; the other feature of identity is the Communication of Word of Allah the Exalted to me:
That the Iiela'aha: Sovereign Sustainer Lord of you people is characteristically such Sustainer Lord Who maintains Aloneness.
Therefore, you people transform yourselves to take stand and Path towards Him; and incline yourselves to self-accountability to seek bucketing, protection, forgiveness of Him the Exalted for lapses/omissions.
Take note; woe, dispraise and threat is eminent for those Polytheists: who ascribe associates and worship sculpted statues; [41:06]
The predicate of sentence: is an Adjectival Phrase: .
The word: is a common noun, indefinite, singular, masculine stemming from Root: ء ل ه. Ibn Faris [died 1005] stated that it signifies an icon: somebody or something widely and uncritically admired, adored and worshipped. The irreducible feature of this root indicate it a two-way relational domain. For its actual realization, the other verbal Root is: ع ب د: subjects ruled by a ruler, sovereign; allegiants. Therefore, its semantic field can be captioned: Interpersonal relationship of the Supreme Sovereign and Subjects. This domain will include all self-imposed responsibilities, obligations and promises of the Supreme Sovereign and the obligations, responsibilities, duties, conduct, reward and punishment of the subjects.
This noun is adjectively portrayed as: . It is an active participle. Used as an adjective, the Active Participle acts as descriptive term. It stems from Root: و ح د which is distinct from Root: ء ح د that is a sub-category of Semantic Domain: Root: ع د د : Counting-Enumerating and signifies numeral, number: One - a single subset-unit of a set—parallels. For transcribing it in English, I have selected the word "aloneness" which is semantically very close to it since it means: without company; without help or support from anybody or anything else; unique in some respects.
Thereby, the phrase: signifies such icon/somebody widely and uncritically admired and adored who maintains aloneness, absolute feature.
This phrase is used second time in the Divine Discourse to describe the recognition element of Allah the Exalted as is used earlier for Ar'Reh'maan the Exalted:
And you people should not say advocating the concept: "Allah is one in the Trinity".
You people are directed to stop-leave propagating this. If you abide: it will be far better for you.
[as your earliest forefathers accepted and declared 2:133] Undoubtedly Allah the Exalted is characteristically such Sustainer Lord Who maintains Aloneness. [4:171]
The last sentence again finds mention twice with third person pronoun referent to Allah the Exalted:
You the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] pronounce: "Undoubtedly He the Exalted is the only Sustainer Lord who maintains Aloneness..[refer 6:19]
Be aware, Allah the Exalted had commanded, "You people should not purposely adopt two iela'aha: godheads, concept of duality-duel.
Be mindful of fact, Undoubtedly, He the Exalted is the only Singular Sovereign Sustainer Lord;
Therefore, inspire dread of Me alone, thereat, keep feeling awe for Me alone.". [16:51]
And it again finds mention with change of verb-like particle:
This Grand Qur'aan is a delivered-transmitted conclusive proclamation for the Mankind.
The purpose is that they might get warned-admonished-awakened by it.
And that they might know that He the Exalted is the Solitary Iela'aha: Sovereign Sustainer Lord.
Moreover, the objective is that the Men of Wisdom; who look into matters and conduct objectively without overlapping it with emotions/prejudices/biases/whims/caprices, may at their own accord save it in memory, frequent it for reference-lesson and orate to others. [14:52]
The phrase: finds mention in Ayahs (1)2:163(2)4:171(3)5:73(4)6:19(5)14:52(6)16:22(7)16:51(8)18:110(9)21:108(10)22:34(11)41:06=11, which are reproduced below:
And remain mindful that the Iiela'aha: Sovereign Sustainer Lord of you people is characteristically such Sustainer Lord Who maintains Aloneness.
Realize it about miscellany of iela'aha: deities that are uncritically admired, adorned and worshipped; none of them is alive; none of them organizes, administers or sustains others, except He the Alone Sustainer Lord.
He, the Solitary Living Sovereign Sustainer Lord worthy to be uncritically admired and adorned is Ar'Reh'maan, the Fountain of Infinite Mercy. [2:163]
O you the people of the Book; listen! You should not corrupt your Code of Conduct-life;
And you should not say anything attributing to Allah the Exalted except the proven fact: written in the Book of Allah or for which there is tangible evident proof from knowledge.
The fact about Al-Maseiha Easa the son of Maryam is that he was only the Messenger of Allah the Exalted:
Appointing him the Messenger was the Word-Promise of Allah the Exalted; the Word which He the Exalted had conveyed to Maryam [as earlier mentioned in 3:45-49]
And he was the existential of a command originating from Him the Exalted.
Therefore, you people believe in Allah and all the Messengers of Him the Exalted.
And you people should not say advocating the concept: "Allah is one in the Trinity".
You people are directed to stop-leave propagating this. If you abide: it will be far better for you.
[as your earliest forefathers accepted and declared 2:133] Undoubtedly Allah the Exalted is characteristically such Lord who maintains Aloneness.
Infinitely Glorious is He that His recognition and approval is the focus of all effort. He the Exalted is above weakness that presence of a son might be a need for Him the Exalted.
Whatever exists in the Skies and whatever exists in the Earth are subservient-dependant-subjects for Him the Exalted.
And Allah the Exalted alone suffices as the Guardian-Protector-Disposer of Affairs. [4:171]
Indeed those people denounced faith-allegiance who had said: "It is certain that Allah is third entity in the trinity."
Be mindful; Not at all there is anyone alive amongst the set considered as iela'aha: gods except characteristically such Lord who maintains Aloneness.
Remain informed; Should they not desist propagating what they keep saying:
Certainly a severe torment will afflict those of them who refused to obey the injunction. [5:73]
You the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] ask them: "What is the greatest object of oath for testifying testimony?"
You the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] tell them, "Allah the Exalted. He is the ever Witness between me and between you the living people.
And this Qur'aan has verbally been communicated to me so that I may by it admonish and awaken you: my contemporaries - people in my presence; and to admonish and awaken him to whom this Qur'aan has reached in time and space.
Do you people really bear witness that along with Allah the Exalted there are other gods?"
You the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] pronounce: "I do not testify and affirm it".
You the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] pronounce: "Undoubtedly He the Exalted is the only Sustainer Lord who maintains Aloneness..
And I am certainly absolved of that which you people ascribe partners-associates with Singular Sovereign Sustainer Lord." [6:19]
This Grand Qur'aan is a delivered-transmitted conclusive proclamation for the Mankind.

Take note; woe, dispraise and threat is eminent for those Polytheists: who ascribe associates and worship sculpted statues; [41:06]
The phrase: also finds mention in accusative case:
Were you people the witnesses when the Death became apparent to Ya'qoob علیہ السلام whereupon he said enquiring from his Sons: "After my death whom you will serve-be allegiant?"
They all said: "We are and we shall serve and be allegiant to the Iela'aha of you, and the Iela'aha of your fathers Iebra'heim; and Iesma'eile; and Ies'hauq [عليهم السلام]; the Only and Alone Iela'aha;
And we are subjects exclusively for Him the Exalted consciously following Constitution-Code of Conduct prescribed by Him the Exalted" [2:133]
They, the Jews and Christians, have purposely held their recognized religious scholars and secluded spiritually contemplating men; and also Al Mesiah, the son of Maryam as god-fathers - god-lords apart from Allah the Exalted.
They have done so despite they were commanded nothing; and were bound by the solemn pledge, except they might be subjects, subservient, owe allegiance to the Solitary Sustainer Lord.
None at all in miscellany of iela'aha: deities that are uncritically admired, adorned and worshipped is alive; or organizes, administers or sustains others except He the Solitary Sustainer Lord, the Absolute.
Infinite Glory is for Him-His pleasure is the focus of all effort; He is Exalted above all what they conjecturally associate with Him. [9:31]
"Has he declared/rendered numerous iela'aha as Only One Iela'aha;
Indeed this is certainly a strange thing." [38:05]
And the leaders among them made themselves walk away, imperatively saying to people, "Walk/disperse you people away, and you people remain constantly satisfied upon your various iela'aha.
Certainly this is definitely a thing which is intended and desired to be done." [38:06]
The recognition of Allah the Exalted in time-line has always been: . And this has been the main theme of the Message conveyed by all the Messengers sent towards different nations ever since the Elite-Dominant segment of the Nation of Noah alai'his'slaam did the first greatest deception to their subjects-weaker segments and to posterior humanity when they sculpted statues; and by assigning them various hypothetically coined names declared these as various: "miscellaneous gods". It is how they innovatively introduced the hypothetical concept of various gods. This reflects craftiness and cunningness of the pseudo-intellectuals, the coteries of ruling elite, who derived a word from: in such manner that it may look different to avoid mutiny and straightaway rejection by ordinary majority of people. After they had done this deception; the message conveyed to the people in time and space is to get out of this deception and know that: is . We MUST always call by Proper Name: to maintain and reflect our distinction that we recognize Him and believe that He the Exalted is: .
How the elevated Messengers of Allah sent towards different nations propounded this reality is mentioned in the following Ayahs:
Our Majesty had indeed deputed Noah [alai'his'slaam] as the Messenger towards his nation.
Thereat, he imperatively said: "O my nation! Express servitude, subjection and allegiance for Allah the Exalted. None of those considered and worshipped as iela'aha: godheads other than Him the Exalted is Sovereign Lord of you people.
I am apprehensive of the punishment of the Great Day that might befall upon you people." [7:59]
And Our Majesty had deputed their brother Hued [alai'his'slaam] as the Messenger towards the nation Aad.
He said: "O my nation! "You are directed to express servitude, subjection and allegiance for Allah the Exalted. None of those considered and worshipped as iela'aha: lords other than Him the Exalted is Sovereign Lord of you people.
Would you people still not take heed and be cautious? [7:65]
And Our Majesty had indeed deputed their brother Sa'leh [alai'his'slaam] as the Messenger towards the nation Sa'mued.
He said: "O my nation! "You are directed to express servitude, subjection and allegiance for Allah the Exalted. None of those considered and worshipped as iela'aha: lords other than Him the Exalted is Sovereign Lord of you people.
Indeed an exposing explicit sign-emblem has just come to you from your Sustainer Lord.
Here is the she-camel sent by Allah the Exalted; it will stay as unprecedented display for exposure of you people.
Therefore, leave her freely feeding in the land of Allah the Exalted.
And you should not touch her with harming intention; if you do so, thereat, a severe affliction might seize you people. [7:73]
And Our Majesty had indeed deputed their brother Sho'aib [alai'his'slaam] as the Messenger towards the nation by the name Mad'yan.
He said: "O my nation! "You are directed to express servitude, subjection and allegiance for Allah the Exalted. None of those considered and worshipped as iela'aha: lords other than Him the Exalted is Sovereign Lord of you people.
Indeed an exposing explicit sign/display has just come to you people from your Sustainer Lord.
Therefore, you are directed to give away/discharge the liability of measure and weighing equitably on exacting balance.
And you should not deprive people of their goods by lessening [in quantity, measure and weight]
And you should not purposely cause and create disorder/imbalance/distortions/spread wicked and unsound conjectural ideas in the society after its perfection/reformation [with the sent Book].
This is a better course of conduct for you people.
Adhere it if you are truly the believers. [7:85]
And Our Majesty had deputed their brother Hud [alai'his'slaam] as the Messenger towards the nation Aad.
He said: "O my nation! "You are directed to express servitude, subjection and allegiance for Allah the Exalted. None of those considered and worshipped as iela'aha: lords other than Him the Exalted is sovereign Lord of you people.
You people are but purposely falsifiers and conjecturers. [11:50]
And Our Majesty had indeed deputed their brother Sa'leh [alai'his'slaam] as the Messenger towards the nation Sa'mued..
He said: "O my nation! "You are directed to express servitude, subjection and allegiance for Allah the Exalted. None of those considered and worshipped as iela'aha: lords other than Him the Exalted is Sovereign Lord of you people.
He has produced you from the Earth and has settled you people therein.
Therefore, for what you have been doing hitherto seek forgiveness from Him, and afterwards turn to Him perfecting sincerity/conduct.
Truly my Sustainer Lord is Omnipresent and Responsive [to those who ask of Him]. [11:61]
And Our Majesty had indeed deputed their brother Sho'aib [alai'his'slaam] as the Messenger towards the nation by the name Mad'yan.
He said: "O my nation! "You are directed to express servitude, subjection and allegiance for Allah the Exalted. None of those considered and worshipped as iela'aha: lords other than Him the Exalted is Sovereign Lord of you people.
And you should not reduce the measure and the weighing scale.
[why you do it] I find you people in prosperity.
And indeed I am afraid and apprehensive of infliction of punishment of the all encompassing Day upon you. [11:84]
Our Majesty had indeed deputed Noah [alai'his'slaam] as the Messenger towards his nation.
Thereat, he imperatively said: "O my nation! Express servitude, subjection and allegiance for Allah the Exalted. None of those considered and worshipped as iela'aha: godheads other than Him the Exalted is Sovereign Lord for you people.
Would you people still not take heed and be cautious? [23:23]
Later in time after them: nation of Noah [alai'his'slaam], Our Majesty let flourish another civilization. [23:31]
Thereat, Our Majesty deputed in them Messenger who was a staunch monotheist believer amongst them;
To persuade them: "you people express servitude, subjection and allegiance for Allah the Exalted. None of those; considered and worshipped as iela'aha: godheads, other than Him the Exalted, is Sovereign Lord of you people;
Would you people still not take heed and be cautious?" [23:32]
What is most conspicuous by absence in the recorded history of earlier nations is the sentences: and another sentence with third person masculine singular pronoun which is referent to Allah the Exalted: . This sentence is one element of the theme of Grand Qur'aan. It is for the author of a book to prove his theme by tangible evidence and undeniable arguments. We should, therefore, study it as a separate concept.
