Surah Al-Baqarah 2:163

وَإِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ لَّا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ الرَّحِيمُ

2:163 In the statement: “And your God is One God, there is no other, cannot be and will never be One worthy of worship but He” the word Ilâha إِلَـٰهٌ is in its infinitive noun, or the basic form of the verb (masdarمصدرor jumlah ismîahجملة إسمية ), and expresses verbal motion containing all the three tenses of past, present and future. As an infinitive, the word should be taken without limitations of time, space, or circumstances. English grammar does not allow sentences to be formed without a verb, but in Arabic, this is possible. Such sentences without a verb are called jumlah ismîah. The advantage of such sentences is that they are not controlled by the present, past or future tense. They are highly appropriate for describing a permanent attribute of a thing or a person. Thus, the words express the infinity of the Deity in the past, the present and the future. The wordsلَّا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ are often simply translated as “There is no God but He”, however this is not sufficient (Mughnî).
