In the Middle East, the Christians, Jews, and Muslims use the word "Allah" to refer to God. It means the only true God, the God of Moses and Jesus. The Creator has introduced Himself in the Noble Qur’an by the name "Allah" and by other names and attributes. Moreover, the word "Allah" was mentioned 89 times in the early edition of the Old Testament.
"The Creator" is one of the attributes of Allah Almighty that has been mentioned in the Qur’an.
{He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner. He has the most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and earth glorifies Him, for He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.} [2] Surat al-Hashr: 24.
The First Who is not preceded by anything and the Last Who is not followed by anything: {He is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, and He is All-Knowing of everything.} [3] Surat al-Hadīd: 3.
The Governor and the Disposer of all affairs: {He manages every matter from the heaven to the earth...} [4] Surat as-Sajdah: 5.
The All-Knowing and the Omnipotent: {He is indeed All-Knowing, Most Capable.} [5] Surat Fātir: 44.
He is not embodied in the form of any of His creatures: {...There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.} [6] Surat al-Ikhlās: 1-4.
He has no partner and no progeny: {Say: “He is Allah, the One; Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is He begotten, and there is none comparable to Him.”} [7] Surat ash-Shūra: 11.
The All-Wise: {...And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.} [8] Surat an-Nisā’: 111.
The Just: {...And your Lord does not wrong anyone.} [9] Surat al-Kahf: 49.
This question is the result of a misconception about the Creator and comparing Him to the creation. Such misconception is refuted by mind and logic, for instance:
Can man answer the simple question: What is the smell of the red color? There is no answer to such a question, of course, because the red color is not classified among things that could be smelled.
The company that manufactures a commodity like the television or the fridge, for instance, sets rules and criteria for using the device and writes such instructions in a manual that explains the usage method and attaches it to the device. The consumer must follow such instructions if he wants to benefit from the device; however, the manufacturing company does not yield to these rules.
We understand from the previous examples that every effect must have a cause, but God is simply not effected and is not classified among things that could be created. God is the First before everything; thus, He is the main (orginal) cause. Despite the fact that the cause-and-effect law is one of Allah's immutable universal rules, yet Allah Almighty does whatever He wills and He possesses absolute power.
