asalaamualekum brothers and sisters,

I was wondering if anyone knows from scripture where Allah (swt) came from?

Jazakallah in advance

:sl:
 
wa 'alaikumus salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.

What I know is that Allahu 'Azza wa Jalla was creating everything below Himself.

wa fiikum barakaallah.


Assalamu'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.
 
:sl:

hoping the best inshallah
Masallama:thankyou:
 
Two of the names/attributes of Allah (swt)

Allah is Al Awwal (the First) and Al-Akhir (the End/Last).
 
time doesn't constrain him, so he had no beginning. rather he created time.
scripture doesn't usually address issues that could not be understood by humans or that don't have much of an effect, rather it's open to many interpretations on these matters, provided we don't claim occult knowledge, or knowledge of the unseen-'Ilm al Ghaib-
 
He was there from the beginning! I prefer not to ask myself questions like this because we cannot know the answer. We're only human and can't understand everything!
 
:sl:

that is beyond our knowledge
i too do try to avoid this question
becuz its the an opening door for shaitan to lead us astray
may allah guide us in the straight path.Ameen

According to the Quran, Allah tells us that He is the only creator and sustainer of all that exists and that nothing and no one exists alongside Him, nor does He have any partners. He tells us that He is not created, nor is He like His creation in anyway. He calls Himself by a number of names and three of them are:

A) The First - (Al-Awal)
B) The Last - (Al Akhir)
C) The Eternal, who is sought after by His creation, while He has no need from them at all. (As-Samad)
He always has existed and He never was created, as He is not like His creation, nor similar to it, in any way.
this is enough for a muslim
 
salam

ask the question clearly inshaAllah
 
Allah did not come from anywhere. He created everything, so how can he come from anywhere? More importantly, Allah created time, so that humans can live in this world. Allah is above and beyond the constraints of this world or universe for that matter. That is all our brains are able to comprehend and need to know, InshAllah.

1. By the declining day, 2. man is in loss, 3. except for those who believe, do good deeds, urge one another to the truth, and urge one another to steadfastness.

No, nothing amazing about that; by definition a Muslim is one that submits to his Lord.

This question is incorrectly worded, because Allaah didn't 'come' from anywhere. He says in the Qur'an:

{He is the First (nothing is before Him) and the Last (nothing is after Him), the Most High (nothing is above Him) and the Most Near (nothing is nearer than Him). And He is the All-Knower of every thing.}

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah would recite this supplication while going to bed,

«اللْهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّموَاتِ السَّبْعِ، وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، مُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ، أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ لَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْاخِرُ لَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ لَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ لَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ. اقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ، وَأَغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْر»
(O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Magnificent Throne! Our Lord, and the Lord of everything, Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil and the Furqan, the Splitter of the grain of corn and the date stone! I seek refuge with You from the evil of everything whose forehead You have control over. O Allah! You are Al-Awwal, nothing is before You; Al-Akhir, nothing is after You; Az-Zahir, nothing is above You; and Al-Batin, nothing is below You. Remove the burden of debt from us and free us from poverty.) Muslim recorded this Hadith.

The question of origin is attributed to the creation because we have a starting point, we came from somewhere, our mother's wombs, from Adam, who was created from dust. The question of 'origin' cannot be applied to the Creator because by definition He is the One who created us, He is the First, there was none before Him.
 
I think the questioner is trying to ask where did the name "Allah" come from was it mentioned in any scriptures??

I don't think it was from scriptures, rather Adam (as) was taught the names of things in Paradise and Adam recognised his Lord too.
