الآية رقم (87) - اللّهُ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللّهِ حَدِيثًا

(87) - {Allah - there is no deity except Him. He will surely assemble you for [account on] the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. And who is more truthful than Allah in statement.}

(Allah) is the comprehensive name for all the attributes of Allah (swt), He (swt) does not use any other name as the Compassionate, The Generous, The Forgiving….. rather He (swt) uses this name (Allah) that combines the attributes of majesty and beauty.

( اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ) (Allah – there is no deity except Him. …): This proves the oneness of Allah, His power and His existence because this phrase has a positive and negative statement. If there is another god, he would claim that, but since no other has ever pretended himself as a God, then there is no deity except Allah (swt) Who created the earth and heaven and the people.

( لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ ِ ) (…He will surely assemble you for [account on] the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt,…): Surely, He will gather you together on the Day of Resurrection. There two facts that we do not see and we have to believe in them; the resurrection and the day of judgement. This belief is a part of our faith in Allah (swt) because He is the One who told us about them. For that the verse begins with (there is not deity except Allah). The Prophet said:

“The best of what I and the prophets before me have said, is ‘There is no god but Allah.”[1]

Because it contains the proof of the existence of Allah (swt).

( وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حَدِيثًا ) (…And who is more truthful than Allah in statement): The answer is: Surely, No one is more truthful than Allah in statement.
