This is probably the most asked question concerning the Creator. Every theist and atheist alike has thought about it, even if he/she could not answer it or did not wish or delve into it for fear for blaspheming. Indeed, the reaction of most Muslims is either to shun the question or answer it without giving an explanation by declaring 'no one it without giving an explanation by declaring 'no one made God because He is Eternal!. The confusion this creates for a sincere seeker of the Truth is that on the one hand Muslims (and other theists) use the argument that every effect requires a distinct prior cause to prove that our universe could not have always been there, nor did it make itself or for that matter come from nothing.

Therefore, It must have been created or caused to come into being by some separate entity (i.e. God). On the other hand, the same people appear to be anomalous in their line of argument of claiming that God was always there and was always there and was not caused. The questioner in this case is not denying that God exists, but merely in doubt that God exists, but merely in doubt as to how can God have always been there and had no beginning. In this article, we shall endeavor to put an end to this controversial question by using a unique approach…..

We need to first define what a Question is:
1. A Question is a sentence requesting information or an answer.

Now let us define what an Answer is:

2. An Answer is an explanation for an unknown thing that the question poses. Henceforth, we can safely state that the presence of an answer necessitates the existence of a question i.e. If there is no question, there will be no answer. So, for example, if we define that cat is an animal that cannot talk, and if someone then asks if the cat speaks Chinese, there is no answer to this question since it is a logical mistake as per the definition and it carries with it the supposition that the cat talks. If we put the data concerning the cats into a computer answer the above question? It would probably be programmed to display on the screen: "Question is illogical." It would be an incorrect answer to say: "No the cat cannot speak Chinese," because the implication is that it can speak, although not Chinese. Equally incorrect is the answer to a different question, namely: "Can the cat speak?

Another question might be: "Is Germany the largest continent in the world?" Of-course the definition of Germany is that it is a Country and not a continent. But if one was to answer by saying: "Germany is not a continent: he would not be answering to the above question but rather to the question "Is Germany a continent?" But with regards to the question: "Is Germany the largest continent in the world?" it is an illogical question according to the definition of Germany (i.e. that it is a country). On the other hand, if one answers by saying: "No, Germany is not the largest continent in the world," he would still not be answering as he is indirectly implying that Germany is a continent although not the largest.

It is important to show the illogical nature of questions that are asked about the essence of God e.g. "Who created God?"

At this point, let us remind ourselves of the usual definition of God: we believe that God created everything including time, space, matter, energy and life. Thus, logically, the Creator cannot be subject to the laws and concepts that He created -including Time and Space.

However, examining our above question about God, reveals that it carries with it an implicit assumption of time succession i.e. that God is subject to Time. The question: "who made/caused God?" implies that there was another thing/cause that existed before God existed period in time. The question also carries the supposition that the supposed creator of God is also subject to Time since it was there before it created God. In fact, the question assumes that Time is an eternal law and not a created law and that Time was there before everything else, and everything else is subject to it. This, however, is not correct. Time is just one of the laws of the universe and a mere creation of God. Time is no more than an effect that depends on the observer's motion and the speed of light, and can become zero (theoretically) i.e. Void. Since Time exists within the universe and God is not part of the universe (or part of any of His creation for that matter), it naturally follows then that God is subject to Time, is in fact not a question at all.

This is because the question then contains erroneous assumptions that make it inadmissible, nonscientific and meaningless. Such a question is not a question and therefore does not have a direct answer. It is similar to asking: "How acute are the corners of a circle?" Because this question contains an intrinsic contradiction as per the definition of circles, it becomes totally unintelligible and hence nullifies its validity as a question i.e. effectively; the question does not exist.

Anybody advocating atheism ought to prove that time is absolute and eternal before posing the question, in the same way that someone who asks whether the cat speaks Chinese or not should first of all find out or prove that cats speak in the first place.

However, those of whom do not want to be manipulated, learn about Islam. The Islamic belief and subsequently the Islamic Way of Life are premised on the intellectual basis. Therefore, Islam is neither a religion nor a set of values and rituals that arise out of blind faith. Rather, Islam is an Intellectual belief from which emanates comprehensive socio-political belief i.e. the belief in God-Allah (swt) and the word of God-the Qur’an. Today the government has attained the ability to control you and the masses and it is time to break free from the yolk of this manipulation and learn about the truth, and the only truth that exists is the truth that is with Allah(The Creator of the Worlds). That truth is none other than Islam. It is time for this society to become a population of thinkers and not blind followers. It is time to find out about Islam. It is time to find out about the truth by using your own Mind. Don’t be fool by the media propaganda.
