What is the meaning of Allah's attribute of "The All-Strong" or "The All-Powerful," and does creation require Him to say "Be, and it is," or can He bring things into existence without utterance? And does His power include making illogical things logical, such as creating something that is both black and white at the same time?
It is impermissible to be astonished by someone who questions the power of Allah, for Allah manages this world with its galaxies and planets and preserves them from perishing. Humans do not comprehend the extent of the universe's greatness, but Allah has informed us that if He intends a thing, He only says to it, "Be," and it is. Thus, it is ignorance to say that He needs to say "Be," for Allah is transcendent above all need. The impossible is of two types: habitually impossible, which Allah makes possible, like miracles; and rationally impossible, such as creating a god like Him, or combining two opposites. This does not relate to Allah's power because it is not a thing. All these fallacies are whispers from Satan. Therefore, one must believe in Allah's power and greatness, reflect on His creation, and recite and ponder the Quran.
