Purpose Of This Universe
Imagine a god that does not create — whatever comes to your mind can be anything but God. Creation defines God. All other attributes of God becomes meaningless if he is not the creator and does not have his creations. The Creator and God are two words for the same entity. There cannot be a god who does not create. This is why God has created what he has created and this is an ongoing process. No fraction of time passes without a change or new creation in the universe. Just like God cannot create a stone so big that He cannot lift it (because that would be an ungodly act), God cannot stop creating as that would also be an ungodly act. Hope that will help a bit — thats all my own guess and i am not a scholar 🙂
Light and energy are concepts of time and space. Rest of the attributes of Allah also make sense for us as we are a creation that dwell in this time and space. Allah is independent of these concepts and attributes as without time and space, these attributes don’t make any sense. Being ‘Creator’ is not Allah’s central attribute, for us it maybe is. He is “لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِۦ شَىْءٌ”. We cannot examplify him with anything except infinite Knowledge and Wisdom.
These questions, can God create something that he himself can’t lift are ridiculous because of the concept of time and space. These questions outside time and space are like asking “What time is this chair?”. This sentence has no meanings.
Yes i agree that when we say he is the Creator it does not mean He is just one of the creators we have on Earth. Although the attributes we use for God are defined using the same human language that we use for communicating with each others but those attributes are Haquiqui and not dependent on the cause and effect law of the universe.
