Allah the Creator

Sunday, November 19, 2006 Allah(SWT)-The Creator Consider the act of creation, this act, with regards to Allâh is unique. Though we use the term i.e. So and so created a table etc, actually it is in a limited sense. Human beings don’t reallycreate, they manipulate, because they can only "create" what already exists. When we make a chairor a table, we didn’t create the wood, we had to take it from a tree, we didn’t create the metal, whichmakes the screws etc, we had to melt down rocks and take the metal out. So we are not creatingfrom nothing. We are manipulating things which Allâh has already created in to different shapesand forms which are useful to us. We call it "creation" but the real act of creation, is creation fromnothing, and this is unique to Allâh alone. 11:59:03 PM Posted By mohammed taqiuddin Comments (1) Uncategorized Comments K.Venugopal Monday, November 20, 2006 9:52:30 PM If Allah created the world, who created Allah? You say Allah always existed. What if I say that creation itself always existed, in one form or the other? Creation is self-creating. You may, for the purpose of understanding, distinguish this self-creating capacity as the creator. In truth, its all one, there is no separation between the creator and the creation. Islam's greatest mistake is to think there is.
