CAN THERE BE
A CREATOR OF GOD?
![]()
A science student asked a religious leader the following question:
“It is told that GOD created everything, if so, can you tell that who created GOD?”
In reply, the religious leader smiled to mock over the question and said, “I will ask GOD this question on the Day of Judgment and then will answer you.”
This question simply knocked out the religious leader because he could not answer this highly important question in proper terms and this question appears in every mind and requires a satisfactory answer.
The ignorance of the religious leader at such a level shows that the religious leader is not fully aware of GOD. So here is the answer:
A created god can never be a GOD and a creature can never be a Creator.
How there can be a creator of GOD while only GOD created the process of creation.
Since no one created the materials of creation and systematic process of creation and creatures before GOD and only GOD made all things existent, therefore, there can never be a creator of GOD or god of GOD or a god other than GOD.
Question of the creator of GOD rises in minds when religious leaders introduce GOD as a person or as a male or as a man or as a father or as a conjugal lover or as a creature-like god. Beware please, GOD is GOD being GOD of all things and things are not GOD and GOD is not a thing.
Creation of things tells us that GOD is other than the things. Since GOD created the intellect and the power of understanding to understand things only, therefore, the intellect due to its limits considers GOD as a thing and asks such questions. Only few believers know that GOD cannot be considered as a thing or as a creature; due to the intellect which encompasses things only. The intellect tells us that if GOD is believed as a thing or as a creature-like person, it simply means that GOD is not believed as a Creator of all things. Intellect, being a limited source to know GOD can never encompass its Creator. Anyhow, from ignorance to knowledge, the state of belief is evolutionary; in the state & times of ignorance and in the state & times of knowledge & wisdom, the belief in GOD carries different values & importance and is not valueless.
At an ordinary level of intellect, GOD can be believed as a Creator & Ordainer of each & everything to be a believer of GOD.
It is really interesting that in the first section of this beautiful question the oneness of One Alone Creator is stated and is reported that GOD is a Creator of all things and in the second section, innocently, it is declared that there is no god other than GOD by putting the question about god other than GOD. It is a question which itself is an answer because in the question the word GOD is not used for a thing or a creature. Since nothing resembles GOD, therefore, GOD is not a thing or a creature and an idea of a created-GOD is logically an idea of a thing or a creature and there is no justification to call a creature as creator or GOD. Since the asker is using the word “GOD” as a name of GOD and not as a name of a creature or a thing, therefore, the answer is there in the question. Just ponder over the question a little. It seems as the innocent asker knows not the meaning of word “GOD”. In other words, the asker is asking that is GOD a creature or an absolute GOD?
WHO CREATED GOD?
If someone has created the GOD as a creature, then it is illogical to call GOD as a GOD, anyhow the question is a production of an innocent curious intellect and is beautiful enough to serve as a key to the divine truth that:
“GOD IS AN ABSOLUTE CREATOR AND ONLY AN ABSOLUTE CREATOR CAN BE A GOD, THEREFORE, THERE IS NO GOD BUT ONE ALONE GOD BECAUSE NO ONE AMONG CREATURES & THINGS IS GOD AND GOD IS NOT A CREATED THING OR A CREATURE AND A CREATURE OR A THING CAN NEVER BE A CREATOR OR GOD.”
So what does it mean to say that the source of existence (i.e., God) is love? I would argue the question points to the metaphysics of love rather than simply saying that God creates existence (or, the world) because God loves it.
