4:08 The hadees you mentioned has the word فَأَحْبَبْتُ which translates to I loved to be known. So it goes "I was a hidden treasure and I loved to be known. I created creation to know me". If you look at the Quran 1/3 of it is all about who God is i.e. introduction of God to his creation. It doesn't mean God has a need, because a need is something without which one cannot perform. Us, the creation have needs because we are unable to perform many things without needing something else while God can do whatever he wants without any dependency. The purpose of creation of Mankind and the Jins is to recognize God through their experiences and the guidance sent by God i.e. through messengers and the books of God. Through recognition one becomes an Abd i.e. submitter to God with their own free will.
@@taifshams Shortcoming of English language. If Allah swt says he loves something, those who want to seek him, would hasten to do that thing. That's the purpose.

Our limited understanding of Allah is like taking a tiny drop of water from a vast and ever moving ocean and taking this drop away from the ocean and asking a group of people in a landlocked country where nobody has seen an ocean and asking them to look at this drop and describe what an ocean is like, how vast it is, what it contains and what are the creatures inside the ocean that it supports.

all of these explanations are plausible from a human perspective but we don't know what God really intended, so it is still a very difficult question for humanity because we humans will never be able to answer it with our minds. I go even further and claim that the brains of all of humanity together will never be able to answer the question because we humans are not like God and cannot think or plan like God.
Out of the attribute of giving, everything is given away by the Almighty God as a gift...everything is a gift, this life, this creation, this universe ... This is how I understand it...we are the beneficiaries... Just appreciate and enjoy the bounties!!! Have fun! ❤
Mankind can see only what is inferior to him what is superior he can't see. Like the head knows what does the foot but the foot have no idea of the existence of the head. A foot can only recognize another foot and for it the head doesn't exist. The universe isn't the rocks that are shown by the telescope. The universe is something else above our understanding.
My question ; After qiyamah, and all humankind facing the judgement day and end up either in Jannah or Hellfire, what about the universe is still expand as Allah the creator ?
U R right.God always existed. What was meant was that God thought it well to create the creation to HIS love beauty and blessings. God existed before the creation of the universe and will continue existing even if this universe perishes.
Allah is neither overtaken by drowsiness nor sleep. - “ Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep “ QURAN 2 : 255
Easy answer, that is said many time in the Quran: God does what he wants. The attribute of creator comes after he created, not before. And all the other attributes, forgiver etc... because he forgives his creation.
@@tanerserdar I go with an understanding that the Quran is only a small part of his wisdom, the part that humanity can comprehend. In Ayat al kursi, it is said that of his knowledge you only get what he wants (translation approximate). Therefore one needs to interpret what he gave within the context of humanity. Extrapolating that to more than intended may be speculation. Layman interpretation, not a specialist.
Yes but for us believers God’s existence is not a supposition, it is a certainty. For the general viewer the question is based on the assumption that God exists. You could first watch the previous video where he provides evidence to God’s existence.
@tanerserdar I think my perspective is different from what you are asking ... I just pinpointed ... Alsamad.....no need to become No need to learn no need to manifest etc
@@mughal8866 yes I agree, we cannot define Allah Almighty. These are just analogies to understand Him through His names. This is what Islam suggest, you cannot know God Himself but you can get to know Him through His Names and Attributes.
In the Quran, the question of why God created the universe is subtly addressed through the verses that highlight His ultimate wisdom and purpose in creation. One such verse is: "It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne. You have not besides Him any protector or intercessor; so will you not be reminded?" (Surah As-Sajda 32:4) This verse reflects that the creation of the heavens and earth, along with everything within them, is a manifestation of Allah’s will and wisdom. While the Quran doesn’t give a single direct answer to the question, it emphasizes that creation is purposeful, and everything serves a greater divine plan. The universe’s complexity and beauty point to the existence of a Creator who is all-knowing and all-powerful. Additionally, the Quran invites believers to reflect on creation as a way to draw closer to Allah, realizing that everything in the universe, from the smallest atom to the vastest galaxy, functions according to divine wisdom, with the ultimate purpose being to recognize and worship Allah. Through reflection on the signs in creation, humans are encouraged to understand their place within this vast universe, always seeking to live in harmony with the divine will.
God Almighty was All Existing n since nothing else existed He wanted to be known n so He started creating!N He began to create entities which recognize n appreciate His creativity n might n gave some of them free will n decided to reward them for obeying His commands n punish those who do not!
He is not questioned about what he does, but they will be questioned /Quran,chapter 21,verse 23. The Angels also asked a similar question: Will you place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood…./Quran , chapter 2 ,verse 30
ما خلت انس و لجن الا لیعبدون ۔۔۔وطیرہ کل علمہ صلو تہ و تسبیحھو ۔ so see what about others ان عر ض الامانتہ سماوات والارض فاشفن منھا و ۔۔۔کان ظلو ما جھو لا ۔
The question is answered again, in today’s terms, and today’s language, thusly: Alright The one thing that All That Is knew is that there was nothing else. And so It could, and would, never know Itself from a reference point outside of Itself. Such a point did not exist. Only one reference point existed, and that was the single place within. The “Is-Not Is.” The Am-Not Am. Still, the All of Everything chose to know Itself experientially. This energy-this pure, unseen, unheard, unobserved, and therefore unknown-byanyone-else energy-chose to experience Itself as the utter magnificence It was. In order to do this, It realized It would have to use a reference point within. It reasoned, quite correctly, that any portion of Itself would necessarily have to be less than the whole, and that if It thus simply divided Itself into portions, each portion, being less than the whole, could look back on the rest of Itself and see magnificence. And so All That Is divided Itself-becoming, in one glorious moment, that which is this, and that which is that. For the first time, this and that existed, quite apart from each other. And still, both existed simultaneously. As did all that was neither. Thus, three elements suddenly existed: that which is here. That which is there. And that which is neither here nor there-but which must exist for here and there to exist. It is the nothing which holds the everything. It is the non-space which holds the space. It is the all which holds the parts. I’m going to go further. Now this nothing which holds the everything is what some people call God. Yet that is not accurate, either, for it suggests that there is something God is not-namely, everything that is not “nothing.” But I am All Things -seen and unseen-so this description of Me as the Great Unseen-the No-Thing, or the Space Between, an essentially Eastern mystical definition of God, is no more accurate than the essentially Western practical description of God as all that is seen. Those who believe that God is All That Is and All That Is Not, are those whose understanding is correct. Now in creating that which is “here” and that which is “there,” God made it possible for God to know Itself. In the moment of this great explosion from within, God created relativity-the greatest gift God ever gave to Itself. Thus, relationship is the greatest gift God ever gave to you, a point to be discussed in detail later. From the No-Thing thus sprang the Everything-a spiritual event entirely consistent, incidentally, with what your scientists call The Big Bang theory. As the elements of all raced forth, time was created, for a thing was first here, then it was there-and the period it took to get from here to there was measurable. Just as the parts of Itself which are seen began to define themselves, “relative” to each other, so, too, did the parts which are unseen. God knew that for love to exist -and to know itself as pure love-its exact opposite had to exist as well. So God voluntarily created the great polarity-the absolute opposite of love-everything that love is not-what is now called fear. In the moment fear existed, love could exist as a thing that could be experienced. It is this creation of duality between love and its opposite which humans refer to in their various mythologies as the birth of evil, the fall of Adam, the rebellion of Satan, and so forth. Just as you have chosen to personify pure love as the character you call God, so have you chosen to personify abject fear as the character you call the devil. Some on Earth have established rather elaborate mythologies around this event, complete with scenarios of battles and war, angelic soldiers and devilish warriors, the forces of good and evil, of light and dark. This mythology has been mankind’s early attempt to understand, and tell others in a way they could understand, a cosmic occurrence of which the human soul is deeply aware, but of which the mind can barely conceive. In rendering the universe as a divided version of Itself, God produced, from pure energy, all that now exists-both seen and unseen. In other words, not only was the physical universe thus created, but the metaphysical universe as well. The part of God which forms the second half of the Am/Not Am equation also exploded into an infinite number of units smaller than the whole. These energy units you would call spirits. In some of your religious mythologies it is stated that “God the Father” had many spirit children. This parallel to the human experiences of life multiplying Itself seems to be the only way the masses could be made to hold in reality the idea of the sudden appearance-the sudden existence-of countless spirits in the “Kingdom of Heaven.” In this instance, your mythical tales and stories are not so far from ultimate reality- for the endless spirits comprising the totality of Me are, in a cosmic sense, My offspring. My divine purpose in dividing Me was to create sufficient parts of Me so that I could know Myself experientially. There is only one way for the Creator to know Itself experientially as the Creator, and that is to create. And so I gave to each of the countless parts of Me (to all of My spirit children) the same power to create which I have as the whole. This is what your religions mean when they say that you were created in the “image and likeness of God.” This doesn’t mean, as some have suggested, that our physical bodies look alike (although God can adopt whatever physical form God chooses for a particular purpose). It does mean that our essence is the same. We are composed of the same stuff. We ARE the “same stuff”! With all the same properties and abilities-including the ability to create physical reality out of thin air.

With all due respect.......to my understanding if there is nothing to love Allah is still all loving........Allah doesn't need anyone to show his mercy but he is still merciful
The creation according to Islam is not a unique act in a given time but a perpetual and constant event; and God supports and sustains all existence at every moment by His will and His thought. Outside His will, outside His thought, all is nothing, even the things which seem to us absolutely self-evident such as space and time. Allah alone wishes: the Universe exists; and all manifestations are as a witness of the Divine will. Aga Khan, The Memoirs of Aga Khan: World Enough and Time
lonely...... now a lonely void is filled with life ... like a very great and mighty Celestial tree of life with dark matter branches growing not inflation
Stars and planets can be living beings with or without conscious. They are born in nebulas and die in black holes. They have a complete life cycle. Allah may know the best.
I believe it is not our domain to ask questions about WHY GOD did or didn't do something unless GOD HIMSELF talks about it. We are in no position whatsoever to know the reasons behind whatever ALLAH does.
Yes the layman does not need to ask these type of questions, but people who wish to attain “Tahqiqi Iman” need to enquire into such matters. All the great scholars of the classical era did…
@ Wrong again.. You do not know ahl al sunnah aqida. Angels do have free will, they do not have nafs, thats why they do not sin. But you mentioned that we cannot enquire about why God does certain things, which means you are saying it is a sin. I am asking you if it is not permitted to ask about God’s actions, why did the angels ask about Adam’s creation? Please learn aqida and then will discuss these topics.
Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them - so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?"(QS Maryam:65) And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then, [O Muhammad], would you compel the people in order that they become believers?(QS Yunus:99) If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.(QS Asy Syu'ara:4). And is it not sufficient for them that We revealed to you the Book which is recited to them? Indeed in that is a mercy and reminder for a people who believe.(QS Al Ankabut:51) Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?(QS Al Mursalat:50)
Its a simple Answer, ALLAH SUBHANAHU wa TAALA THE GOD, made this universe just to be the Test and like Examination to all HIS creations, starting from humans, Jins and Aliens. Why he make this test!!??? Because ALLAH is The CREATOR!!!! HE CREATE EVERYTHING AS HE PLEASE.
Salam ISRA ACADEMY, May Allah guide and protect you all. I have a question for Dr Omer Artili, sorry if I spelled his name wrong. If Allah created the universe by just saying be and it was, but we learn that there was nothing before this magnificent creation. If there was ,then that thing and Allah was there at the beginning with Allah,which is not the case. So did Allah creates everything from himself and if so then can someone say everything you see is Allah or at least part of Allah. ?
No, everything we see is not Allah. This view is shirk. Allah is other than His creation. This is one of His attributes “Mukhallafat’ul lil hawadith” Creation means He creates out of nothing and recreates from things He created out of nothing.
Aslamualikum ! what i think ALLAH created universe for human being out of love .if you remove needs of human being like food, cloth ,home the predominate force remain love .
Do a little research before posting comments. Do you know the meaning of analogy? I do not know if you are a Muslim or not but if you are go and look up what “Sani-i Zul Jalal” means. It is one of the names of Allah. Guess what it means: the Grand Artist.
MasyaAllah..!!! SubhanAllah Ahamdulillah AllahuAkhbar..! May Allah SWT guide those who reverted to Islam with the true teaching of Islam and being obedient Muslim, will grant them and all the Ummah with a place in Jannah. Aamiin Yarobbil Aalaamiin...🌙🕌🤲🤲🤲🤲💕🌹
The Quran uses the term “He” It is not a gender thing, it is just a masculine term. People ask these questions so scholars they answer them. Is it better if they were left unanswered? Read the Prophet’s life and have a look at the questions people asked him. It may not be your business but it has been the business of scholars for 14 hundred years.
😲 Jesus / Isa (peace be upon him), is not God, he himself was created by The Creator Allah, and is a creation of God Allah. He cannot create anything himself because he is creation of Allah The Almighty Creator of all that exists. He is a Muslim and a servant of Allah The Almighty Creator. He is the Prophet and Messenger of God / Allah The Exalted. The Almighty Creator of all that exists. The Prophet Muhammad (.S.A.W.S.) is also a Messenger and the seal of all Prophets and Messengers, of The Almighty Exalted Creator of all that exists. The Independent, The Absolute, The Suprême, The Irresistible, The All-Compelling, The All- Powerful, The All-Knowing, The All-Seeing, The All-Wise, The Self-Existing, The Eternal, The Ever-Living, The Giver of Life and Death. There is nothing you can compare to Him. He has no beginning nor end. He has no partners, and no need for a son. He is Unique. He is The One, And Only True God. The Lord of The Mighty Throne. The King of Kings, and The Master Of Judgment Day. He Always Existed, and He cannot Die. 😯 😮 😙 😗 🙂 😊 ☺ 😚 🤗 ; )
Salamun Alaykum. Dr Zuleyha Keskin and Professor Omer Attila the reply is illogical and confusing. From her expression Dr Zuleyha is also confused by your answer. You have not answered WHY god created the universe. Here is another question - why did god create the heaven-as-a-reward and hell-as-a-punishment business model? There are many other models for an "afterlife" - the Buddhist karma, the Hindu reincarnation, non-resurrection for the bad people etc. So why did your idea of god choose the heaven and hell business model? Whatever answer you come up with please do me a favour and ask again WHY. Keep asking WHY until you cannot answer anymore. Only then you will realise that god does not exist. Here is the really difficult question for you - WHY does a god exist at all? WHY does a god choose to exist at all? WHY? Whatever is your answer to this question, again do me a favour and ask again WHY? Keep asking why until you cannot answer anymore. The idea of god is a pagan concept. Pagan means mushrikeen. The people who associate partners with "Allah". Pagan cave man, who was ignorant (jahileen) and uneducated could not answer why there were earthquakes, thunder, lightning, death, disease, hunger, drought etc. So the ignorant caveman imagined the idea of guardian spirits, holy spirits, supernatural beings and gods to help him fill the gaps of knowledge inside his ignorant mind. This is how Illiterate, ignorant and uneducated caveman invented the idea of the god of the gaps. To fill in the gaps in his knowledge of the world. This is the same idea that you have inherited from the ignorant or jahileen caveman. The level of intelligence or IQ and the thinking skill sets required to imagine a god have not changed from the days of the ignorant caveman until now. Your belief in god is at the same level as the stone age caveman. Instead of obeying the Natural environment and obeying the Laws of Nature you have associated non-existent partners with Nature - you call it god. You believe that just by praying, your mushrik idea of god can change the harvest of corn or wheat next year. Just by standing, bowing (ruku') and prostrating (sujood) in a certain direction your mushrik idea of god will guide you how to build a town or a city of righteousness (daulah islamiyah). The super successful Chinese farmer does not pray. He works hard and uses science to yield huge harvests of wheat, rice, corn and so much other food. He is blessed by the Laws of Nature which he has studied and obeyed. But your farms cannot produce anything because you waste so much time performing prayer. Hoping by magic that your imaginary and non existent god will magically improve your farm yield - just because you bowed and prostrated five times a day. This is (mushrikeen or associating partners with the Laws of Nature. The Laws of Nature does not recognise your five times prayer. That is also why there is NO FIVE TIMES prayer in the Quran NOR in the sahih hadeeth. But lets go back to the question - WHY does a god exist? Why does a god choose to exist? Keep asking WHY until you cannot answer anymore.
Very poor explanation of why the universe was created. They tried by all means not to make it physical but unfortunately life as a human being is spirit and physical. U cannot doubt it. Islam doesn't have all the answers. Especially when u say we know or we believe is Ego. He can never answer about God and creation, Islam will never understand this!

I never asked for this gift. God erred. I have rarely felt that I have benefitted. It is an utter horror.

In Ayat al kursi, it is said that of his knowledge you only get what he wants (translation approximate). Therefore one needs to interpret what he gave within the context of humanity. Extrapolating that to more than intended may be speculation. Layman interpretation, not a specialist.
@@tarwingrill4531 I understand, yes it’s correct, since His knowledge is infinite, the holy Quran would be a very small part of it. 👍
Madam&Sir, this question presupposes the existence of an entity God,the creator.
Yes but for us believers God’s existence is not a supposition, it is a certainty. For the general viewer the question is based on the assumption that God exists.
You could first watch the previous video where he provides evidence to God’s existence.

Do you know the meaning of “analogy?”
@tanerserdar
I think my perspective is different from what you are asking ...
I just pinpointed ...
Alsamad.....no need to become
No need to learn no need to manifest etc
@@mughal8866It is Human limit. He cannot compare Allah to anything, so he uses analogy of humans to explain which will not be perfect.
@@mughal8866 yes I agree, we cannot define Allah Almighty. These are just analogies to understand Him through His names. This is what Islam suggest, you cannot know God Himself but you can get to know Him through His Names and Attributes.
In the Quran, the question of why God created the universe is subtly addressed through the verses that highlight His ultimate wisdom and purpose in creation. One such verse is:
"It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne. You have not besides Him any protector or intercessor; so will you not be reminded?"
(Surah As-Sajda 32:4)
This verse reflects that the creation of the heavens and earth, along with everything within them, is a manifestation of Allah’s will and wisdom. While the Quran doesn’t give a single direct answer to the question, it emphasizes that creation is purposeful, and everything serves a greater divine plan. The universe’s complexity and beauty point to the existence of a Creator who is all-knowing and all-powerful.
Additionally, the Quran invites believers to reflect on creation as a way to draw closer to Allah, realizing that everything in the universe, from the smallest atom to the vastest galaxy, functions according to divine wisdom, with the ultimate purpose being to recognize and worship Allah.
Through reflection on the signs in creation, humans are encouraged to understand their place within this vast universe, always seeking to live in harmony with the divine will.
When you have the power to do anything, what does it mean to do anything?
God might know himself experientially through the expression of life in every one of its form including the form we call I/You.
Allah cc knows everything
God Almighty was All Existing n since nothing else existed He wanted to be known n so He started creating!N He began to create entities which recognize n appreciate His creativity n might n gave some of them free will n decided to reward them for obeying His commands n punish those who do not!
He is not questioned about what he does, but they will be questioned /Quran,chapter 21,verse 23.
The Angels also asked a similar question:
Will you place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood…./Quran , chapter 2 ,verse 30
ما خلت انس و لجن الا لیعبدون ۔۔۔وطیرہ کل علمہ صلو تہ و تسبیحھو ۔ so see what about others ان عر ض الامانتہ سماوات والارض فاشفن منھا و ۔۔۔کان ظلو ما جھو لا ۔
The question is answered again, in today’s terms, and today’s language, thusly:
Alright The one thing that All That Is knew is that there was nothing else. And so It
could, and would, never know Itself from a reference point outside of Itself. Such a
point did not exist. Only one reference point existed, and that was the single place
within. The “Is-Not Is.” The Am-Not Am.
Still, the All of Everything chose to know Itself experientially.
This energy-this pure, unseen, unheard, unobserved, and therefore unknown-byanyone-else energy-chose to experience Itself as the utter magnificence It was.
In order to do this, It realized It would have to use a reference point within.
It reasoned, quite correctly, that any portion of Itself would necessarily have to be
less than the whole, and that if It thus simply divided Itself into portions, each
portion, being less than the whole, could look back on the rest of Itself and see
magnificence.
And so All That Is divided Itself-becoming, in one glorious moment, that which is
this, and that which is that. For the first time, this and that existed, quite apart from
each other. And still, both existed simultaneously. As did all that was neither.
Thus, three elements suddenly existed: that which is here. That which is there. And
that which is neither here nor there-but which must exist for here and there to exist.
It is the nothing which holds the everything. It is the non-space which holds the
space. It is the all which holds the parts.
I’m going to go further. Now this nothing which holds the everything is what some
people call God. Yet that is not accurate, either, for it suggests that there is
something God is not-namely, everything that is not “nothing.” But I am All Things
-seen and unseen-so this description of Me as the Great Unseen-the No-Thing,
or the Space Between, an essentially Eastern mystical definition of God, is no more
accurate than the essentially Western practical description of God as all that is seen.
Those who believe that God is All That Is and All That Is Not, are those whose
understanding is correct.
Now in creating that which is “here” and that which is “there,” God made it possible
for God to know Itself. In the moment of this great explosion from within, God
created relativity-the greatest gift God ever gave to Itself. Thus, relationship is the
greatest gift God ever gave to you, a point to be discussed in detail later.
From the No-Thing thus sprang the Everything-a spiritual event entirely consistent,
incidentally, with what your scientists call The Big Bang theory. As the elements of
all raced forth, time was created, for a thing was first here, then it was there-and
the period it took to get from here to there was measurable.
Just as the parts of Itself which are seen began to define themselves, “relative” to
each other, so, too, did the parts which are unseen. God knew that for love to exist
-and to know itself as pure love-its exact opposite had to exist as well. So God
voluntarily created the great polarity-the absolute opposite of love-everything that
love is not-what is now called fear. In the moment fear existed, love could exist as
a thing that could be experienced.
It is this creation of duality between love and its opposite which humans refer to in
their various mythologies as the birth of evil, the fall of Adam, the rebellion of Satan,
and so forth.
Just as you have chosen to personify pure love as the character you call God, so
have you chosen to personify abject fear as the character you call the devil.
Some on Earth have established rather elaborate mythologies around this event,
complete with scenarios of battles and war, angelic soldiers and devilish warriors,
the forces of good and evil, of light and dark.
This mythology has been mankind’s early attempt to understand, and tell others in a
way they could understand, a cosmic occurrence of which the human soul is deeply
aware, but of which the mind can barely conceive.
In rendering the universe as a divided version of Itself, God produced, from pure
energy, all that now exists-both seen and unseen. In other words, not only was the
physical universe thus created, but the metaphysical universe as well. The part of
God which forms the second half of the Am/Not Am equation also exploded into an
infinite number of units smaller than the whole. These energy units you would call
spirits. In some of your religious mythologies it is stated that “God the Father” had
many spirit children. This parallel to the human experiences of life multiplying Itself
seems to be the only way the masses could be made to hold in reality the idea of
the sudden appearance-the sudden existence-of countless spirits in the
“Kingdom of Heaven.”
In this instance, your mythical tales and stories are not so far from ultimate reality-
for the endless spirits comprising the totality of Me are, in a cosmic sense, My
offspring.
My divine purpose in dividing Me was to create sufficient parts of Me so that I could
know Myself experientially. There is only one way for the Creator to know Itself
experientially as the Creator, and that is to create. And so I gave to each of the
countless parts of Me (to all of My spirit children) the same power to create which I
have as the whole.
This is what your religions mean when they say that you were created in the “image
and likeness of God.” This doesn’t mean, as some have suggested, that our
physical bodies look alike (although God can adopt whatever physical form God
chooses for a particular purpose). It does mean that our essence is the same. We
are composed of the same stuff. We ARE the “same stuff”! With all the same
properties and abilities-including the ability to create physical reality out of thin air.

With all due respect.......to my understanding if there is nothing to love Allah is still all loving........Allah doesn't need anyone to show his mercy but he is still merciful
They already said Allah does not need nothing but love itself needs to manifest, and it can only manifest on things that are loved.
The creation according to Islam is not a unique act in a given time but a perpetual and constant event; and God supports and sustains all existence at every moment by His will and His thought. Outside His will, outside His thought, all is nothing, even the things which seem to us absolutely self-evident such as space and time. Allah alone wishes: the Universe exists; and all manifestations are as a witness of the Divine will.

You have no idea about Islamic Aqida…
lonely...... now a lonely void is filled with life ... like a very great and mighty Celestial tree of life with dark matter branches growing not inflation
Stars and planets can be living beings with or without conscious. They are born in nebulas and die in black holes. They have a complete life cycle. Allah may know the best.
I believe it is not our domain to ask questions about WHY GOD did or didn't do something unless GOD HIMSELF talks about it. We are in no position whatsoever to know the reasons behind whatever ALLAH does.
Yes the layman does not need to ask these type of questions, but people who wish to attain “Tahqiqi Iman” need to enquire into such matters. All the great scholars of the classical era did…
Allah said in the Quran he cannot be questioned....
Why did the angels question the creation of Adam (as)? Did the angels commit a sin?
@@tanerserdar angels are not humans. they dont have freedom and choices... sin are only for those who have choices...
@ Wrong again.. You do not know ahl al sunnah aqida. Angels do have free will, they do not have nafs, thats why they do not sin. But you mentioned that we cannot enquire about why God does certain things, which means you are saying it is a sin. I am asking you if it is not permitted to ask about God’s actions, why did the angels ask about Adam’s creation?
Please learn aqida and then will discuss these topics.
Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them - so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?"(QS Maryam:65)
And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then, [O Muhammad], would you compel the people in order that they become believers?(QS Yunus:99)
If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.(QS Asy Syu'ara:4).
And is it not sufficient for them that We revealed to you the Book which is recited to them? Indeed in that is a mercy and reminder for a people who believe.(QS Al Ankabut:51)
Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?(QS Al Mursalat:50)
GREAT ARGUMENTS
Its a simple Answer, ALLAH SUBHANAHU wa TAALA THE GOD, made this universe just to be the Test and like Examination to all HIS creations, starting from humans, Jins and Aliens. Why he make this test!!??? Because ALLAH is The CREATOR!!!! HE CREATE EVERYTHING AS HE PLEASE.
This question refer to Allah JJ . you can't ask
a person this question.only Allah JJ knows
why he created the universe
Why did the angels ask Allah why He is going to create Adam, if it was not permitted to ask?
Salam ISRA ACADEMY, May Allah guide and protect you all. I have a question for Dr Omer Artili, sorry if I spelled his name wrong.
If Allah created the universe by just saying be and it was, but we learn that there was nothing before this magnificent creation. If there was ,then that thing and Allah was there at the beginning with Allah,which is not the case. So did Allah creates everything from himself and if so then can someone say everything you see is Allah or at least part of Allah. ?
No, everything we see is not Allah. This view is shirk. Allah is other than His creation. This is one of His attributes “Mukhallafat’ul lil hawadith”
Creation means He creates out of nothing and recreates from things He created out of nothing.
Aslamualikum !
what i think ALLAH created universe for human being out of love .if you remove needs of human being like food, cloth ,home the predominate force remain love .
So you're comparing god with a painter...😢
such a childish logic...😮
Do a little research before posting comments. Do you know the meaning of analogy?
I do not know if you are a Muslim or not but if you are go and look up what “Sani-i Zul Jalal” means. It is one of the names of Allah. Guess what it means: the Grand Artist.
ALLAH created this universe for. Humans jinn's for his majesty worship's. In worship's all over animal's land sea etc are included.
MasyaAllah..!!!
SubhanAllah Ahamdulillah AllahuAkhbar..!
May Allah SWT guide those who reverted to Islam with the true teaching of Islam and being obedient Muslim, will grant them and all the Ummah with a place in Jannah. Aamiin Yarobbil Aalaamiin...🌙🕌🤲🤲🤲🤲💕🌹
Ameen, what a beautiful dua 🤲
We shouldn’t use the word HE or HIM when we talking about ALLAH also this is none our business if creator created everything.
The Quran uses the term “He”
It is not a gender thing, it is just a masculine term.
People ask these questions so scholars they answer them. Is it better if they were left unanswered?
Read the Prophet’s life and have a look at the questions people asked him.
It may not be your business but it has been the business of scholars for 14 hundred years.
😲 Jesus / Isa (peace be upon him), is not God, he himself was created by The Creator Allah, and is a creation of God Allah. He cannot create anything himself because he is creation of Allah The Almighty Creator of all that exists. He is a Muslim and a servant of Allah The Almighty Creator. He is the Prophet and Messenger of God / Allah The Exalted. The Almighty Creator of all that exists. The Prophet Muhammad (.S.A.W.S.) is also a Messenger and the seal of all Prophets and Messengers, of The Almighty Exalted Creator of all that exists. The Independent, The Absolute, The Suprême, The Irresistible, The All-Compelling, The All- Powerful, The All-Knowing, The All-Seeing, The All-Wise, The Self-Existing, The Eternal, The Ever-Living, The Giver of Life and Death. There is nothing you can compare to Him. He has no beginning nor end. He has no partners, and no need for a son. He is Unique. He is The One, And Only True God. The Lord of The Mighty Throne. The King of Kings, and The Master Of Judgment Day. He Always Existed, and He cannot Die. 😯 😮 😙 😗 🙂 😊 ☺ 😚 🤗 ; )
Prophet Muhammad (.S.A.W.S.) said;
"When authority is given to those
who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour." - [Sahīh al-Bukhārī 6496]
Allah loved to be known to his creations
It's in His nature
Salamun Alaykum. Dr Zuleyha Keskin and Professor Omer Attila the reply is illogical and confusing. From her expression Dr Zuleyha is also confused by your answer. You have not answered WHY god created the universe. Here is another question - why did god create the heaven-as-a-reward and hell-as-a-punishment business model? There are many other models for an "afterlife" - the Buddhist karma, the Hindu reincarnation, non-resurrection for the bad people etc. So why did your idea of god choose the heaven and hell business model? Whatever answer you come up with please do me a favour and ask again WHY. Keep asking WHY until you cannot answer anymore. Only then you will realise that god does not exist.
Here is the really difficult question for you - WHY does a god exist at all? WHY does a god choose to exist at all? WHY? Whatever is your answer to this question, again do me a favour and ask again WHY? Keep asking why until you cannot answer anymore.
The idea of god is a pagan concept. Pagan means mushrikeen. The people who associate partners with "Allah". Pagan cave man, who was ignorant (jahileen) and uneducated could not answer why there were earthquakes, thunder, lightning, death, disease, hunger, drought etc. So the ignorant caveman imagined the idea of guardian spirits, holy spirits, supernatural beings and gods to help him fill the gaps of knowledge inside his ignorant mind. This is how Illiterate, ignorant and uneducated caveman invented the idea of the god of the gaps. To fill in the gaps in his knowledge of the world. This is the same idea that you have inherited from the ignorant or jahileen caveman. The level of intelligence or IQ and the thinking skill sets required to imagine a god have not changed from the days of the ignorant caveman until now. Your belief in god is at the same level as the stone age caveman.
Instead of obeying the Natural environment and obeying the Laws of Nature you have associated non-existent partners with Nature - you call it god. You believe that just by praying, your mushrik idea of god can change the harvest of corn or wheat next year. Just by standing, bowing (ruku') and prostrating (sujood) in a certain direction your mushrik idea of god will guide you how to build a town or a city of righteousness (daulah islamiyah).
The super successful Chinese farmer does not pray. He works hard and uses science to yield huge harvests of wheat, rice, corn and so much other food. He is blessed by the Laws of Nature which he has studied and obeyed. But your farms cannot produce anything because you waste so much time performing prayer. Hoping by magic that your imaginary and non existent god will magically improve your farm yield - just because you bowed and prostrated five times a day. This is (mushrikeen or associating partners with the Laws of Nature. The Laws of Nature does not recognise your five times prayer. That is also why there is NO FIVE TIMES prayer in the Quran NOR in the sahih hadeeth.
But lets go back to the question - WHY does a god exist? Why does a god choose to exist? Keep asking WHY until you cannot answer anymore.
Very poor explanation of why the universe was created. They tried by all means not to make it physical but unfortunately life as a human being is spirit and physical. U cannot doubt it. Islam doesn't have all the answers. Especially when u say we know or we believe is Ego. He can never answer about God and creation, Islam will never understand this!
