| Feb 12, 2013 at 4:37 | comment | added | knowit | interesting explanation @R.Sebag , the first verse does says "Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; " which emphasizes your point that Allah is uniquely one and not just one | |
| Feb 12, 2013 at 4:23 | comment | added | knowit | The first chapter Surah tauhid is the touchstone of theology , hence its called definition , if this definition\touchstone gets satisfied then that on whom its satisfied is God! So its a definition of God | |

| Feb 11, 2013 at 21:55 | comment | added | Seth J | Right, but you haven't cited the Shema' in your extracted answer. You have merely mentioned G-d's "one"-ness. | |
| Feb 11, 2013 at 21:50 | comment | added | ray | negation does not always fully describe something. sometimes it is enough to define something. in this case it is not. also, there's a source from tanach. namely, the shema | |
| Feb 11, 2013 at 21:20 | comment | added | Seth J | "It is only to negate the opposite." I think this would qualify as a definition. It defines what G-d is not, thereby giving us an understanding of G-d. In any event, this doesn't answer the question, since the OP is seeking sources from TaNa"Ch. | |
