Can God, who is omnipotent and an undying living being, create one who can kill Him?
Skeptics aim to destabilize the faith of Muslims, and these doubts are not new to them. Muslim scholars have responded that this question falls under the category of assuming the impossible. Allah is capable of all things, but the convergence of two opposites is inherently impossible, and thus does not fall within the scope of "all things." Scholars argue that such matters are impossible to conceive. They cite the story where the devils asked the worshipper, "Can your Lord create another like Himself?" — his worship did not benefit him due to his ignorance. The learned person, however, answered them that this is impossible because if it were like Him, it would not be created. A Muslim must not listen to skeptics.
