1. 

“And your ALLAH is One Alone, there is no God but He, the Compassionate, the Merciful” (Holy QURAAN 11/83)and the beginning of al-lmran (HoIy QURAAN - iii)

2.  

“ALIF - LAM - MEEM. ALLAH, there is no God but He, the Living the Eternal. [Mishkat]

In various traditions, the following have been reported as Ismul Azam.

                                    [Husn -i- Haseen]

Hadrat Anas (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated to have said that when he was sitting with the Prophet in the mosque, a man who was performing Salaah said, “O ALLAH, I ask Thee by virtue of the fact that praise is due to Thee other than whom there is no God, who showest favour and beneficence, the Originator of the heavens and the earth.

‘O Lord of Majesty, and splendour, “O Living One, O Eternal One, I ask of thee”. The Prophet then said, He has supplicated ALLAH using His greatest name, when supplicated by which He answer and when asked by which He gives.” [Mishkat]
