Let us start simplifying it.
What is "Existence" (First question of Metaphysics or first philosophy as Aristotle calls it).
Peace Mazhar
That which is all-existing/omnipresent.
-
How can we jump to that conclusion? This is turning Existence into one entity. How can you perceive the Existence as an entity omnipresent?
There are no other conclusions to jump to. Anything else is absurd/paradoxical/contradictory/non-existence. You can have more than one reality, but all realities have to exist in existence. You cannot have more than one existence. What separates the two existences? Non-existence? Doesn't reason dictate this to be absurd?

I exist, Thereby some one else exists who brought me to existence. And both are a distinct reality.

The mechanisms of how you came to exist are irrelevant to what I'm saying here. You can have multiple realities in Existence but you cannot have more than one Existence.You exist but you are not Existence.

Please simplify or just define what you mean by exist and Existence and the difference between two.

Ok sure. Exist is a verb. Anything that has any kind of reality, is existing. Existence is that which is all-existing/omnipresent. Only Existence exists in an all-existing manner/omnipresently. Everything else exists non-omnipresently. For example, you and I exist non-omnipresently. Does that clarify the difference between the two?

Does the concept of omnipresent make sense to you? Do you have an understanding of it?

How can you have a concept created in your mind to get into my mind when like me you are not omnipresent. Proceed with some logic, not with preconceived understanding or belief. You may consult all theories of philosophy, and then tell me how can you perceive the omnipresent when you cannot make an image or feeling of it in your brain.

If you don't have any understanding of what Existence is and you disagree with the following definition Existence = that which is all-existing/omnipresent, then our conversation will bear no fruit.

But prove it? Is it rational to ask somebody to believe something which you cannot prove by rational argument? I asked you to skim Philosophy to see whether it answered my question.

Since you had quoted an Ayah of Qur'aan in your write-up I thought you would mention the Philosophy of Existence from Qur'aan which is obviously the first source of First Philosophy.
Men of ordinary prudence like me should not enter into rather "dark oceans" of theories, be it of philosophers or the scientists. All along history the psyche of philosophers and scientists seems strange; they do all sorts of mental exercises and observations to know the truth but seldom read the Book of Hour.
The majority of wise-men, be they the "Seven Wise Men of Greece" or Sophists, Gorgias or renowned Protagoras and Plato or his illustrious student Aristotle, or other "men of wisdom" before and after them, tried and delved deep in their imagination to understand the boundaries of "Knowledge" but seldom cared to benefit from "The Book of Hour". The "imaginative knots" never produce a ladder and rope that could take one to the point of certainty and conviction. It is unfortunate that majority of the "wise-brains" in philosophy gave more confusion and conflict than benefit to humanity since they in time and space remained neglectful to "The Book of Hour".
A book was there for guidance knowledge Life Manual for each period of time.

You don't prioritise the Quran over reason. You use it to supplement reason to aid and benefit reason. You verify it with reason.
Again, if you don't acknowledge Existence as omnipresent/all-existing, given everything else in our conversation so far, our conversation will bear no fruit. If you can think of any other possible definitions for existence, then by all means share. But as I have argued, anything other than Existence = that which is all-existing/omnipresent, is absurd.

The first question of Metaphysics or first philosophy is existence and first cause. So the study of metaphysics has but to start from Man's own existence.
A man is born in a state that he does not know anything about the physical realm. As he grows he gets knowledge and perception of the physical realm around him. This is all what seems to him Existence - reality in the real sense of the word.
Our knowledge is dependent upon the existence of matter and awareness of its name-code, which verbally mirrors it through words composed with letters and consonants of a language making us cognizant of it. Cognizant is he who can verbally mirror the image of that thing for others.
So the First Reality or First Existence is the Word and the object observed and perceived by sentient - human.
Word, whether spoken or written, is a meaningful articulated sound. Written word is the first sound-recorder known to humans.
First question a thinking brain will ask is --- whether the word (Ism as you mentioned in first post) which mirrors an object is first in existence or first was the object itself.
What will be conclusion of a reasoning mind?

So long as there are no absurdities/paradoxes/contradictions, It makes no difference to me to be honest.
