Can Allah create a square in the form of a circle?

Dear Brother / Sister,

- The questions do not cease… All right; they can come; no problem... I am glad... Here are some of the latest ones...

- Can Allah destroy Himself?

- Can He create a stone that He cannot lift?

- Can He create a square in the form of a circle?

- Where was He before He created the universe?

- Can God think? et cetera…

…

They are sophistry... Misleading logic game... however, it is illogical itself...

Such questions are produced by people who do not want to believe... Their purpose is to confuse people and arouse suspicion...

If the addressee cannot answer, they will think that they are right and they will relax...

However, that someone cannot answer these questions does not justify the questioner.

First of all, you should know this: An illogical, baseless, inconsistent question does not deserve an answer...

For example, a question that starts with “One, which is bigger than two” ‘is absurd, illogical.

You can say to the one who has asked it, “Do not be ridiculous! There is no ‘one’ bigger than two” and walk away.

There is a logic game, a deception in these kinds of questions asked about Allah. Let us have a look at them…

“Can He create a stone that He cannot lift?”

There cannot be a “stone that the unlimited divine power cannot lift”; therefore, the question “Can He create…?” cannot be asked...

“Can He create a square in the form of a circle?”

A square is a square! The question is self-contradictory, self-refuting.

It is not possible to talk about whether the impossible can be created.

“Where was He before He created the universe?”

You cannot ask “Where?” because being in a place is a property of matter... Allah, who is free from space, is neither matter nor object... This question is also against the rules of logic...

“Can He think?”

Man thinks in order to know, and tries to find the unknown based on the known. He needs thinking...

However, Allah is omniscient and does not need to think.

“Can He destroy Himself?”

This question can only be asked about possible and probable beings. It can never be asked about a being that cannot be destroyed...

Allah is an “obligatory” being; it is impossible for Him not to exist; it is not possible...

The method of such questions is the same: The Creator, who is never like His creatures, is attributed a feature that has nothing to do with His definition, and then the question is based on this absurd assumption...

A game of logic is played... If one does not pay attention, he can be deceived by the tricksters...

The answer to an illogical question is sometimes a meaningful silence, sometimes a condescending smile, sometimes a pitying look...

It would be frivolous to take them seriously... A person who seeks the truth does not waste time with such silly questions...
