Is it mentioned in the exegeses how Allah came and created the world?
A Muslim must follow what has been established in the texts regarding the discourse about Allah Almighty and ponder over His creations, and the manifestations of His power and wisdom. One should avoid delving into what has not been mentioned in a text, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade pondering over the essence of Allah Almighty, and commanded pondering over His signs and blessings, where he said: "Ponder over the blessings of Allah, and do not ponder over Allah" and "Ponder over the creation of Allah, and do not ponder over Allah." Scholars have emphasized this prohibition, such as Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani, al-Tahawi, and Ibn al-Jawzi, who warned against pondering over the essence of Allah, and described Him as He described Himself, without delving into His quiddity.
