How can the narrations regarding the primacy of creation be reconciled, such as: "Allah existed, and there was nothing before Him, and His Throne was upon the water, and He wrote everything with His Hand, then He created the heavens and the earth," and "The first thing Allah created was the Pen," and what has been narrated that the first of creation was Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?

The first thing Allah created, among the known creations, was the Throne, and He established Himself upon it after creating the heavens. Allah created the Pen and commanded it to write, so it wrote the decrees of all things. As for Muhammad, peace be upon him, he was created like other human beings from his father's water, and he experiences what humans experience of hunger, thirst, and illness. However, he is distinguished by being divinely inspired and being worthy of the message.
