"I am sorry Mama, I have a very rude thought about Allah"
Me: "Oh Dear! What thought would that be?"
"I am thinking, if all of us are created, who created Allah ?"
Me:"awwww that’s not a rude thought, Sayang...in fact that’s a very smart question!
Allah ﷻ was not created by anyone nor He had a son nor parents. He has no beginning and no end hence He is almighty! If Allah was created by SomeOne, then He is not Allah and we would have to worship the one who create ‘that Allah’.
"That mean Allah has been living for sooooo long"
Me:"Yes... Rumaysa... He is ever living"
Lesson: indeed life of a mother is full of surprises! I would never thought I would receive such question from my 5 years old but I must thank my ‘teacher’ during my youth days..... they have given me the answer and show me the path (by the will of Allah). Not only it’s beneficial for me now but it has been beneficial for me to finally know my purpose in life.
May Allah ﷻ grants all our teachers (from formal or informal education) beneficial knowledge and grants them Immense rewards in Jannah. اللهمّ امين يا ربّ العالمين
