quran:2:163 –

And your god is one God. There is no deity ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.  

When they asked him ˹Muhammad (s)˺ to describe his Lord, the following was revealed: Your God, the One deserving of your worship, is One God, without any equal in either essence or attribute; there is no god except Him, He is the Compassionate, the Merciful.
القرآن:٢:١٦٣ –

وَإِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ الرَّحِيمُ  

ونزل لما قالوا صف لنا ربك: {وإلهكم} المستحق للعبادة منكم {إِلهٌ واحد} لا نظير له في ذاته ولا في صفاته {لا إلهَ إلا هو} هو {الرحمن الرحيم} وطلبوا آيه على ذلك فنزل.
