What Quran said about him?

Say: He is Allah, the One! • Allah, the eternally Besought of all! • He begets not nor was begotten. • And there is none comparable unto Him. [Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter of Sincerity), Verses 1-4]

Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Predestination. • Ah, what will convey unto you what the Night of Power is! • The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. • The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the Permission of their Lord, with all decrees. • (The night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn.[Surah Al-Qadr (Chapter of Power), Verses 1-5]
