Examples from the Qur'an

Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining.

Surah 3:2 — Read full ayah

And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. And he will have failed who carries injustice.

Surah 20:111 — Read full ayah

Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
