Devil's promptings to make people go astray.

TRANSLATION

Anas bin Malik (R.A.) transmitted it from the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) that the Great and Glorious Allah said:

"Verily your people would constantly question about this and that till they would say: Well, it is Allah Who created the creation, but who created Allah?'”

[(Sahih Muslim: 136 (a)]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The devil plays a role in making people disbelievers by such questions about Allah. Before we deal with such questions of the devil which nobody can answer, let us ask ourselves a question: Do we know everything about the creatures so that we ask about the Creator? The creature can never know how to answer a question of this type about Allah. Allah created us but Allah's existence is evident for all of us; His existence was all by Himself. The "How" of this matter is beyond the perception of the human mind so it is a pointless question to ask, but the devil aims at making people go astray. If you have any such whisperings of the devil, you can ask Allah to protect you and say:

"I believe in Allah and His Messenger (S.A.W.)."
