"Did Allah create life?"

YES and He created Death

Surah 67.2 of the Quran:
YUSUFALI: He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving;-
 
- Qatada - said:
He is Eternal without a beginning or end, and this is why He is Perfect, and this is why we take Him and believe in Him as God

You do not "take Him and believe in Him as God" because "He is Perfect". You have no means whatsoever to measure the perfection of Allah. You believe in Him only because you are a Muslim.

He is absolute and supreme, the premise of ''creation'' and ''life'' is not the same for his beings as it is for him. He's the over-seer of all things. If he oversees all things, then that means he has knowledge of all things. He created everything, what is hidden and what is apparent to us. He knows what we reveal and conceal. In all aspects of the word, he is supreme.

''Lam yalid, walam yulad'' - He does not beget, nor is he begotten. (Surah Ikhlas, V:3).

Can we deny that Allah is alive? We can't say Allah is not alive. We may say Allah is alive, but in a different way. But that's only a difference of quality. But isn't life one and indivisible?
 
Muezzin said:
To be alive is to have a beginning and an end. Therefore, if something has no beginning and no end, it cannot be said to be alive.

So are you saying Allah is dead?


Muezzin said:
I see where you're going with this. I think this lies more in our understanding or misunderstanding of Allah's nature rather than His existence itself.

I don't think Allah is really a 'being' in the same way His creations are. I think of it more in terms of a... consciousness. That's the closest word I can think of, and it's still a little off.

If you see where I am going, then we are likely to travel together. When you think of Allah in terms of consciousness etc. well, you are treading Hindu grounds. Or maybe Sufi grounds?

U see if u go along that road and ask these type of questions, u could also continue asking who created that god and who created the one before him and so forth(infinity!)

Only if you continue asking questions will you be inspired to meditate. Then you are no longer asking questions, but begining to see.

To make it easier on ur mind first accept that there is one god!

It would be easier on our mind if we at first have an open mind!

in order for something to be created it needs a creator. God never needed a creator and was never created.

In order for God to create he needs to be alive. If he was alive, then the question of creating life did not arise. Why then did the Quran say that Allah created life?
 
IbnAbdulHakim said:
it means everything to the exclusion of God himself because God is not a "thing", and we are saying every "thing",


yeah i can play with words too dude

Are you going to answer 6 PAGES OF POSTS like that?! ^^

The question is whether the beliefs stand up to logic.

The Hindu faith certanly doesn't! Worshipping idols who cannot help you or themselves whats that about then lol
 
Allah is beyond human understanding, if it really was so simple to understand Allah as a being or as a creator, then we wouldn't bo too behind would we. Science hardly knows the complete functioning of the body, there are still some parts of it that are a mystery. There are places in the world which are not understood by humans. There are creatures in the world that we do not know of. There have been creatures in the past which we won't even have heard of...

And thats only on this earth... what about the planet and the planets in our solar system, what about the millions of planets in our galaxy - the milky way...

then there are the millions of other galaxies - which contain millions of more stars...

And thats only what is visible to us, even with telescopes as good as the hubble telescope... we have no idea what lies ahead, behind and on either side of us...

Now that we come to it, we have not the slightest clue of even an atoms worth of knowledge that this universe conceals!!

And only Allah knows how many more universes that there maybe...which we can't even comprehend...

The knowledge of Allah is undefineable... so how can we even TRY to define Allah...
 
If we knew how he cud have created life, don't you think we would have done it by now!! (not that they're not trying...unsuccessfully...)
 
-Ibn Al Aqwa- said:
When people begin trying to comprehend things they cannot, they begin confusing themselves and doubts are created. Them doubts are spurred by the shaytaan.

just thought id say that...Salaam...

Trying to comprehend things we cannot is valorous. Fear of confusion and doubts should not prevent us from being valiant.
