Can Allah Create ANYTHING?
-
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'.
Salam.
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.

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???

Here's another paradox, can God willingly suspend His Godhood and take on human limitations for a while? According to Christians, He can, that's what they believe about Jesus.
P.S. These paradoxes are pointless. Allah is All-Powerful, and He can do whatever He wants, but what He wants is not always the same as what He can do (which is anything).

These paradoxes are beautiful exercises in logic and are a good way of finding out what God "is" as opposed to what you want God to "be".

I do not think God /Allah cares if you say he/she as long as you believe. I think that is the biggest problem between people they all think they are right and to me God/Allah is the only one that is right. I wish we could all just enjoy God/Allah regardless if you call God/Allah him/her. God/Allah can create anything in my opinion.

One of the things that helped satisfy me on the issue of the 'divine femine' was
the notion that Jesus had a daughter named Sara...If God was to continue the blood line of Jesus in a daughter instead of a son
it continues to underscore the equality of the male and the female in God's eyes...The Quran seems to indicate to me, that God is far to LARGE to have
sons or daughters, and is critical of those who say that the Angels have
female names..The Gospel of Thomas has a controversal verse in it where Jesus
is to have said that a Woman needs to become a Man...It is all too confusing to me to really understand...
But I have some solice in the Idea of Sara being the first
in the blood line of Jesus... -

(If you have a panthiestic view of Allah then ignore my question)Peace,
Respectfully.Allah SWT has created certain rules and Laws that we see around us.
If Allah decided to create a rock so heavy that even He couldn't lift it, then He would have to first create a Law where one of His Orders would not be executed.
This rock would have to either get a will of his own and apparently more Might then God has it.
Glory be to our God, God can do everything and Anything you think of and much more.
We only have limited imagination.
God is therefore The ALLMIGHTY.
Glory be to our God.Peace.

Hehe nice.. i like to add mine,
even if God creates a rock and lift it, who would be able to see it and confirms that he had lifted the rock? Would we be able to see that huge rock to confirm it? If God would come down to earth to show us that he can lift a rock would we believe it? Would earth be able to withstand it? Would we be able to even live to see it? If He showed it in our dream would we believe it? would we even bother to remember it? If i say i saw God had lifted the rock would you guys believe it? A lot of things have to be considered IMHO. My conclusion is it's possible but it's impossible for us to observe and comprehend. So it's a waste of time and effort to God to even bother to answer this question... (although it's good for our mind to ponder) hehe ;D ;D ;D
Peace peace

Peace,
Respectfully.The Exalted God AllPowerful, The Most Merciful has created the sun without getting burned, has created Jupiter without being tired, has created 6.000.000.000 humans without geting lost and losing track, has created so many angels and keeps Perfect Order in all spheres.
Glory be to our God.

Nice
Is God capable of being incapable?
Perfectness also includes incapablity IMHO (i can't think how but my guts tells me so hehe). God can be incapable if He desires. Just like infinite and finite. in infinite there is also finite. without the finite can infinite be infinite? i think not.
