Is it permissible to say that Allah Almighty created and perfected Himself by Himself?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to say that God created Himself, for reason dictates the impossibility of that. This question is considered a whisper from Satan. So, whoever experiences such a whisper should say: "I believe in Allah," and seek refuge in Allah from Satan, and cease this thinking. Let him know that Satan strives for corruption and temptation, so he must turn away from his whispers and occupy himself with other things.
