When and how did Allah came into being?

You can't really ask someone this, our minds our not strong enough to answer this question. I'd advise you not to think about it too much.

If you want to get an answer to your question. There is only one way! Try to be good and pray your namaz 5 times a day and get to Jannat ( Heaven ). Insha Allah you will see the face of Allah ( swt ) and he will bless you with the what you want to know!

Would you ever imagine on a RED COLOR if you wouldn't see the color before? No right? the Allah is not a creature! He is a CREATOR.

I was looking answer for the same question for many years but when I find http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukBX2TvfyQE I realized that there is no answer until I get to jannah ( Insha Allah ).

To understand god you must realise that firstly he is like nothing in the heavens or the earth, his existence is like that of a circle which has no beginning and no end. He is not like his creation, not of human form so jesus pbuh cannot be god.

The word 'He' is used because in the times of the revelation of the quran and hadiths along with other religions texts and scriptures, the masculine is always used in such texts and is not like many claim sexist, even many legal documents today and a few centuries back even and now books and texts use the masculine as thats the norm then and in some cases the word 'he', can also include 'she' when it comes to the laws applying to both males and females equally.

As for your question about who is his creator, thats silly, why? Because by asking who created him you will in turn ask who created that thing and then who in turn created that thing and so on.... and the question that you seek an answer for wont ever be answered to your satisfaction. YET, when a scientist states things are made up of atoms or electrons and protons etc... or cells containing dna, people do not ask what made these things and in turn what then made the things that made those things and on and on.... yet people accept scientific statements as the truth and just get on with life accepting what they are told. Some may consider this irrationality in itself.

The belief in one god and his prophets is a personal belief and god has given us the freedom to either accept this belief or ignore it and everyone is entitled to believe without anyone elses interference.

Peace!

Both the Bible and the Quran tell us God has always existed and there never was a time He did not exit. As such, He is the Eternal, without beginning and without end. He is the only creator and sustainer of all that exists and nothing and no one exists alongside Him, nor does He have any partners. He tells us, He is not created, nor is He like His creation in anyway. He calls Himself by a number of names and three of them are:

The First - (Al-Awwal)

The Last - (Al-Akhir)

The Eternal and the One who is sought after by His creation, while He has no need from them at all. (As-Samad)

He is not a man and He has no progeny or offspring.

He is not what He creates nor is He compared to it.

He always has existed and He never was created, as He is not like His creation, nor similar to it, in any way.

The prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) explained the devil would come to a person and ask them questions about creation; "Who created this or that?" to which the reply would be; "Allah" until he would ask; "Who created Allah?" At this stage the prophet advised us to drop this train of thought. Obviously, God - the real God, must be eternal and not have to be created.

The Quran tells us:

Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (There is no god to worship except Him), the Ever Living, the Sustainer and Protector of all that exists. He doesn't get tired and He doesn't sleep. Everything in the universe belongs to Him. Who then, could intercede between Him and his creatures without His Permission? He Knows everything about them and they have no knowledge except as He wills. His kursi (stool or chair) extends over the entire universe and He doesn't get tired of guarding and preserving it. He is Most High, the Most Great.

[This Verse is called Ayat-ul-Kursi.] [Noble Quran 2:255]

This verse truly presents the comprehensive representation of God in a way without trying to define Him by comparing Him to His creation, but rather as being the Absolute in all of His Attributes and Characteristics.

btw as you know its forbidden in islam to lie...so i want to tell you that my answer was "copy&paste" answer:P.....so plz don't give me 10 points...9 points would be good for me:P

I would advice to brother and sisters in islam to avoid this question if your iman is weak. It is very dangerous. Inshallah I will answer this as I can.

====================

Say, "He is Allah , [who is] One,

Allah , the Eternal Refuge.

He neither begets nor is born,

Nor is there to Him any equivalent."

Now lets move on,

According to the Quran, Allah tells us that He is the only creator and sustainer of all that exists and that nothing and no one exists alongside Him, nor does He have any partners. He tells us that He is not created, nor is He like His creation in anyway. He calls Himself by a number of names and three of them are:

A) The First - (Al-Awal)

B) The Last - (Al Akhir)

C) The Eternal, who is sought after by His creation, while He has no need from them at all. (As-Samad)

He always has existed and He never was created, as He is not like His creation, nor similar to it, in any way.

=================

Allah (swt) is free from this creation. Study the "space time theory"

this world is finite, where scientist have said that it will come to an end one day. But Allah (swt) is outside this space and time, totally free from this creation. And Allah (swt) says in the quran :

"Laisa ka mith lihii shai"

"There is nothing like Him”.

Since Allah (swt) is free from this creation. "Anything we can imagine is not Allah, and is in fact from the creations of Allah."

Also our mind is imperfect, and Allah (swt) is perfect. So how can our imperfect mind think of a perfect thing (which is Allah (swt)).

=========================

Allah existed from the beginning of time....forever. He was here from beginning. Think about it, if Allah had to come from someone like parents, then where did these parents come from...from other parents right....then where did those parents come from, from other parts, then we will keep going in a cycle. Eventually ur gonna realize it doesnt make sense, object A originates from object B, but object B had to come from object C, and this doesnt make sense. An initial source has to exist by itself. Allah is God, who was neither created, nor was be given birth, nor does he have parents. Allah is one, created from beginning. NO ONE CREATED HIM, HE IS THE CREATOR. In the quran it mentions Allah with the pronoun He and Him, however he is not a male like us, he is a "He" (i dont wanna say male) to whatever befits his majesty and countenance.

How did the big bang happen without any thing before it?

The Law of conservation of mass states matter can't be created or destroyed.

God has no creator. Mentioned in Surah Ikhlas;

The translation of Surah Ikhlas (Holy Qur'an 112:1-4) is:

Say: He is Allah, the One and Only! Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him.

Surah Ikhlas is a very important Surah from the Holy Qur'an because it proclaims the Oneness (Tawhid) and Absolute nature of Divine Essence. This concept is presented in the first ayat.

The second ayat declares that Allah is Eternal, i.e., He is beyond the bounds of time and space.

The third ayat describes that Allah does not give birth nor is He is given birth and the last ayat declares that Allah is beyond comparison.

Surah Ikhlas directly supports the first declaration (shahadah) of Islam: "There is no god but Allah". In this context, Islam is based on belief in one God (monotheism).

We do not attribute being male or being female to Allah. We only describe Allah as He describes himself or as His Prophet (peace be upon him) describes Him.

The primary reason that the pronoun “He” is used to refer to Allah is that He chooses to use the pronoun for Himself.

Allah came out of untold thousands of years of the desert gods. The Arabs always had a rich religious tradition going way back into the stone age - and Allah is just the newest incarnation of that.

You can see a little of their ancient religion hinted at in "The Arabian Nights" which is one exceedingly beautiful piece of work. One wishes that we had this in European tradition.

created in the mind of mohammed. The idea was borrowed from christians.

The 'god' which can send Buddha and Einstein to hell is no god in my eyes.

Btw.. Allah is certainly not merciful... Not if you're not a muslim
