Is it permissible to answer the atheists' question, "Who created God?" by saying that God is the Creator of all laws and axioms, including "every صنعَة (creation) has a صانِع (creator)," but He, glory be to Him, is not subject to them, because He is eternal and His attribute is that He is a Creator uncreated, and this aligns with His saying, the Almighty: (There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing)?

Our conception of self-evident truths is what is described as contingent, whereas the self-evident truths themselves are abstract meanings. Our inference of God's existence, based on the self-evident truth that every صنع (thing made/effect) has a صانع (maker/cause), and every حادث (contingent being/event) has a محدث (originator), is sound. This does not apply to God because He is neither contingent nor صنع; He is the First, the Creator of all things. The statement "Who created God?" leads to an infinite regress, which is rationally impossible. The existence of a creator for the Creator is rationally impossible and agreed upon by all rational beings, and this is what the Prophet, peace be upon him, prohibited. And among the general principles is that God does not resemble anything, and nothing resembles Him. "There is nothing whatever like unto Him," neither in His essence, nor in His attributes, nor in His actions. He is distinct from all His creation.
