He is God; there is no other god beside Him. Knower of all secrets and declarations. He is the Gracious, the Compassionate.

The Bible lists many similar attributes for God: None beside Him: Deuteronomy 4:35; Isaiah 44:6; None before Him: Isaiah 43:10; None like to Him: Exodus 9:14; Deuteronomy 33:26; 2 Samuel 7:22; Isaiah 46:5,9; None good but He: Matthew 19:17; Fills heaven and earth: 1 Kings 8:27; Jeremiah 23:24; God Is light: Isaiah 60:19; James 1:17; 1 John 1:5; Love: 1 John 4:8,16; Invisible: Job 23:8-9; Unsearchable: Job 11:7; 37:23; Psalms 145:3; Isaiah 40:28; Eternal: Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalms 90:2; Omnipotent: Genesis 17:1; Exodus 6:3; Omniscient: Psalms 139:1-6; Proverbs 5:21; Omnipresent: Psalms 139:7; Jeremiah 23:23; Immutable: Psalms 102:26-27; Glorious: Exodus 15:11; Psalms 145:5; Most High: Psalms 83:18; Acts 7:48; Perfect: Matthew 5:48; Holy: Psalms 99:9; Isaiah 5:16; Just: Deuteronomy 32:4; Isaiah 45:21; True: Jeremiah 10:10; John 17:3; Upright: Ps 25:8; 92:15; Righteous: Psalms 145:17; Good: Psalms 25:8; 119:68; Great: 2 Chronicles 2:5; Psalms 86:10; Gracious: Exodus 34:6; Psalm 116:5; Merciful: Exodus 34:6-7; Compassionate: 2 Kings 13:23; Forgiving: Numbers 14:18; Micah 7:1; Should be worshipped in spirit and in truth: John 4:24. However, the Bible also contains a few attributes that do not fit the overall depiction of God in the Quran. For instance, according to the Old Testament, God is Jealous (Joshua 24:19; Nahum 1:2), or a Consuming Fire (Hebrews 12:29). The God of the Old Testament demonstrates weak qualities, since He regrets creating Adam (Genesis 6:6-7); worries about his reputation (Ezekiel 20:8-10); cannot see Adam (3:8- 10); rests, eats, sleeps (Exodus 31:17; Genesis 18:1-8; Psalm 78:65); can be seen and cannot be seen (Genesis 32:30, compare it to Exodus 33:17-20; John 1:18); loses a wrestling match with Jacob (Genesis 32:24-30); and is forgetful (Lamentations 5:20; Psalms 13:1). For God's attributes in the Quran, see 7:180.
