Can Allah Create ANYTHING?
-
GOD is limited by His characteristics. To explain
God cannot create a being more powerful than Him. Because He is ALL-Powerful.
God cannot create something he does not know about. Because He is ALL-Knowing.
God cannot make Himself mortal because then he would cease to be eternal and would therefore not be God.
God cannot make an even number odd because they are defined in His own words (By the even and the odd!)To summarise God cannot do everything. God is defined by certain characteristics nothing can conflict with these otherwise He would cease to be God by his VERY NATURE which would result in the fallibility of God and the cease of existence.

As I see it, those characteristics are relational to us, they are not absolute, because we can never know anything 'absolute' about God, as only God can know himself.
We call God 'All-Powerful' because he is more powerful than we can imagine
We call God 'All-Knowing' because he knows more than we can imagine
We call God 'All-Loving' because he loves us more than we can love ourselves
We call God 'All-forgiving' because he forgives more than we could every forgive
These are all about our relationship with God - because God created the universe, our only way of looking at him is through ourselves and the rest of creation. So when we ask any question about God as separate from creation - i.e. what he can do to himself, that is impossible for us to ever approach. We just don't know, our brain does not work with regards to topics outside this universe, the laws of logic cannot tell you anything outside their jurisdiction.
Likewise, the sex of God is nothing to do with God and all about us. "Father" God is juxtaposed against "Mother" Earth, rain from the heavens fertilizes the soil to create life, it's all symbolism.

No, because if you believe the Qur'an is the Word of God then you would believe that when God says he is All-Knowing, All-Aware He means it! God doesn't say I am similar to being All-Knowing, All-Aware. There is no way around these descriptions, they come from God himself. It's not like the Revelation is written like this Muhammad say "I have come to understand my God is All-Powerful because I can't do what he does." No It says "He is All-Knowing, All-Aware, He has control over all things " God describes Himself, WE do not describe Him. His most beautiful Names are in the Qur'an not the Hadith. These are definitions because they have to exist in order for the Universe to be the way it is such that it is a system limited entirely by God the De Facto Deus Ex Machina.
Limited in such ways There cannot be anything outside of his knowledge and control.
There cannot be anything that stands as the Light or the Truth or be more truthful or more light-giving.
There cannot be anything that is called the Creator other than Him
Thee cannot be a being more powerful than Him.If there were NO limits on the basis of God and nothing else (not our understanding of God) Then this would be a VERY different existence.
My understanding is that God has no definitions I believe he DEFINES things. By God being here he defines mercy, power, love, creation, knowledge and more. I do not believe they are earthly things we use to define God as if he bears some resemblance to a human being, I believe they come from God Himself anything else bears similitude but is not equal to. He describes Himself as as THE something or THE that. Not A something or A that.
Allah! There is no Allah save Him. His are the most beautiful names.

can god in her infinite wisdom do that?
Why do you refer to God as "she", speaking of "her infinite wisdom"???
Peace.

God creates what He pleases. When He says to somethin " be" then it is.
-
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'.
Technically you are wrong as well.
The creative act is not of god or goddess, being the polarized aspect of the one, but of the two together. If not, such polarization would not have occurred first.
But it is god (masculine/mind) that does the creating and goddess (feminine/spirit) that receives and manifests.
The result is the manifested creation which in many traditions (not only christian) is referred to as the son of god.The denial of trinity and son you find in the quran is somewhat worrying, it indicates that lack of knowledge had its influence in the final version.
In a way it is funny, so many are deeply 'fallen' and belief only in what the eyes can see (physical creation), yet they deny the son of god which is the very same 'thing'. -
God creates what He pleases. When He says to somethin " be" then it is.
Actually, he leaves the work to his off spring, the creator gods who are him.
The first source/father is the facilitator.Just like the many branches of a tree create the new twigs and leaves, while it is still the trunk who makes it all possible.
Yes, there is one trunk. But humans are not his first and immediate creation of it. The heavens are filled with earlier creations, spirits, creators, angels etc. and they need to have something to do you know

elektroNo, you are no more than a human being of what He has created. He forgives whom He wishes, and He elektro voodoo whoever He pleases....Actually He creates whatever He pleases. When He says to a thing He says " be" and it is... hypno
You will be defeated and gathered towards Hell! What a miserable destiny! elektro & elektro elektro
You and your forefathers... group

And do not give parables to God. He knows while you do not know...

Peace to all ,
He creates in order to give us all an opportunity to enjoy eternal peace, by spreading the truth of himself to us and through us, why do we have children ourselves, it would be better for us to save our resources and money to make ourselves more self suficient, yet we have children though it is a financial and physical hardship, then we love our children and try to spread the truths we know and learned to them with the hope that they too will walk in truth and justice towards God. He created then continued his creation with us as his primary beneficiaries, done only out of his supreme grace and love. He is grateful for those of us that are greatful to him for this, so if your not then so be it but pay the price of unbelief, someday.

That sounds like a threat,you speak for God?Sounds like,if you dont agree with me,the boggy man will get you,or my big brother!
We have children,because of our genetic need to reproduce,replicate and keep the genetic chain going.He(God)has no need to do this...doeas he?He has no NEEDS,He is perfect and self sufficient. -
Peace to all,
whay you talking about, it aint a threat from me dude, its a warning from God, he will punish someday not me, if you dont believe then so be it, and you say we reproduce because of a genetic need? did your gens command you to do this or do you choose, i know many who choose to never have any children, so is it just a genetic command, and who commanded the gens in the first place to desire to recreate themselves, what caused the original inner urge, and since you know what God needs or dont, it is you that claim to know Gods purpose, he in fact told the angels after creation, I know what you know not, is this not good enough for you, even though it is enough for the angels and the believers?
are you a believer?

To deny the truth is to go into darkness,that is the judgement.

When did He last do that?
Anyway why would he bother creating when He is perfect and in need of nothing?When did He last do it? You tell me...
Why did He bother creating you when He is perfect and in need of nothin? Il tell you why...So that you may be thankful and He only created u to serve Him...
And whatever u do good or in the cause of God is for your own soul...And whoever reject, then God is Rich, the Praiseworthy...

But He is perfect and self sufficient,he doesnt need me,or any servants.

alen, it is not me that has a limited knowledge of God, I never said he had to operate through created things, I said he created and continued his creation, which we are part of, but as to his reason for it I dont know and do not need to know as you seem to demand, I said he told the angels that he knows what we dont know , which is the perfect answer for me, since I actually believe in God and I also believe that he knows what I dont know, I will accept God and take him at his word, which is in fact a conscious decision I have taken to belief and have faith in him and his answers, I do not need to ask that which I do not need to know, it will not change me one bit if I knew why God created us, it is you that are limiting yourself by saying God is perfect and self sufficient but you dont believe whay you say, you demand to know from God what he wouldnt even tell the angels, what arrogance, what disbelief.

I know he doesnt need you, therefor if you thank God then you are only thankin Him for ur own good...and if you reject God then He doesnt like rejection from His servants...
If you support God you do so for ur own self, and if you dont then He is in no need of you, and those who oppose Him and are too arrogant to serve Him will have a torture...
And those who are at Him are not too proud to serve Him nor do they complain, they glorify in the night and the day, they do not cease....Even those God is in no need of them or there praises...
And sucssesful is the one who betters his soul...
