Can Allah Create ANYTHING?

Wakas
God is The Almighty (i.e. infinite power), thus God could create an infinite rock mass. However the act of lifting could never take place because an infinite rock mass would occupy ALL space. If you disagree, please enlighten us as to how an act such as lifting could possibly take place with an infinite rock mass. Thus, when thought about, the question is realised to be a paradox that cannot be answered, not because God is limited but because the questions is illogical/contradictory.
Not if this rock mass is 0 dimensional
All paradoxes generally arise/result in an error in human thinking.

Infinite rock mass is not necessary, God can make "impossible to lift" thing with even this size -----> http//www.smileyhut.com/square_ok/4.gif
Thus stupidity of such questions is above board....

No, questions can be stupid as well.
The word you are looking for is "significant" - no question is insignificant.

I've always liked the saying "do not judge a person by their answer but by their questions".
Anyways, OPF, I am not familiar with 0 dimension but I assume it would be impossible to gauge any kind of lifting in such a dimension, thus my point still stands.
No, you can "lift".
I mean, the universe was thought to have been 0 dimensional at the start of time as we know it. But quite clearly, that's a heavy rock, and God "lifted" it yay

Allah must be limited, if she can't do those 'paradoxical' things then she is not all-powerful, and she obviously is limited. Coz if she could do those things then she would be 'unlimited'.
Why do you give God a gender?
"He" that refers to God is generic, not gender -

If one cannot see the stupidity of the question and questioner then one's answer would definitely become one!

For young people, these tricky paradoxes can be very confusing. And mocking someone is never the Muslim way.

Why are you calling The God, she?
The God is not male nor female.The God is in control of everything therefore The God decides what will be a paradox and what will be logical, right? So, since God is in control of everything, God will decide if paradox shall even exist and in this case paradox exists.
God can create everything, including a rock of any size but The God will always, ALWAYS be above it, bigger then it, because everything has a limit except God.
God has no limits and therefore can be here and there at the same time.The God knows best.
Peace.

The God is not male nor female.have you even read this thread properly coz i've already given the answer to that question.
yea i know god does not have a gender.
But people always refer to God as a "he" so I thought I would use "she" instead.
And "he" is misleading, I know so many muslims that believe god is a guy.
If you have a problem with me calling god a "she" then just say so.

God has no limits and therefore can be here and there at the same time.Since God is 'unlimited' then she can create a rock bigger them herself?? If she can't create a rock bigger then her self then she is limited?

Arnold Yasin answered it...

Can Allah create a rock so heavy that even he couldn't lift it?
(If you have a panthiestic view of Allah then ignore my question)
In Arizona we have the "Could god make a burrito so hot that he couldn't eat it?" joke. I actually wondered about the paradox, and I was baffled. So I came to the conclusion that God would have cooled it down to the perfect eating temperature before eaing it.

What?? They believe that God has male sexual reproductive organs???
