Who is God? What is Concept of God in Islam ?

We should have the belief about Allah:
Oneness of God: "Tawheed"
There is ONLY One God (Allah). In Islam to believe in Allah is not only to believe in Allah's existence but also to believe in all Allah's attributions, to worship Allah alone, and to obey all Allah's commands. Tawheed includes the oneness of the Lordship, oneness of Worship and oneness of Names and Attributes:
A) Oneness of Lordship: To believe that Allah is The ONLY Creator, Provider, and The Commander.
B) Oneness of Worship: To believe that Allah is the ONLY God who should be worshipped, and obeyed as Allah prescribed.
C) Oneness of Allah's Names and Attributes: To believe that Allah Is Perfect and His Names and Attributes are Perfect according to what Allah tells us about Himself in the Quran, believing that those Names and Attributes, in their perfection, belong only to Allah.
◊ NO one shares Allah's divinity that is neither angel nor human. Allah says: "And Allah makes none to share in His decision and His rule." (Holy Quran 18:26)
◊ There is no intermediary who will take any one nearer to Allah or plead on anyone's behalf except with the Allah permission on the day of judgement.. They believe that any individual can directly supplicate to Allah and ask for anything he/she wants.
