What Allah was doing before creation

 So going into the lecture the time before time and i don´t know what´s the lecture title is it´s confusing for me or before time or time, what was there before i don´t know anyhow. There is a beautiful hadith and in this hadith, there are so many benefits we can obtain but we don´t have enough time okay try your best shaykh i´ll i´ll do that don´t rush me i´m too old i can´t do it so fast.

Imran bin Hassan and the hadith is is Sahih al Bukhari he says that the people of Yemen came to the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam accepting Islam, and the Prophet praised them. Complimented them and said to them, that i give you the glad tidings of Allah´s forgiveness, so they said okay Prophet of Allah.

We accept it but we have a Question How did this thing begin?

Look at this question The Arabs speak few words but to the point how did this thing begin? life universe earth heavens so many things around us beyond our understanding how did it all begin? now the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam. Is the one authorized to answer: So he did not tell them, you should not ask such questions.

Fear allah because he´s the one who gives answers: So he says to them, there was nothing but Allah. And his throne was over the water, and he wrote everything in the Book. And created the heavens and the earth. Full stop.

Now this hadis tells you about the origin of everything all humans animals insects birds living creatures everything in this universe acknowledge that there is only one Allah: La ilaha illallah one god:

They call HIM GOD though GOD is not Allah´s name, we do not usually is as Muslims use GOD But we say it because maybe non Muslims would listen: And they say what is Allah? So everything acknowledges the existence of Allah and this is the challenge that Allah gives to atheists when you see an atheist: He would say there´s no GOD

Okay fair enough Let´s look at you Allah says in the Quran: Or where they created by nothing or were they the creation of themselves? you are noe of two either cacuum created you: You were nothing and boom you exist or you created yourself which one is it any atheist would say hmm cacuum cannot created.

So no cacuum cannot create and i did not create myself so i´m in a dilemma now what is the answer?

It is Allah (azzawajal) who created us This hadith tells you there was nothing but Allah in another authentic narration there was nothing before Allah in another narration there was nothing with Allah, so the only thing that is independent the only thing that can exist by itself.

Is Allah the almighty:

You no matter how strong you are how wealthy how powerful you are nothing wthout Allah you cannot even breathe without his permission. Your breath is not in your control, whoever can control his breath raise your hands please:

Nobody yes, and this brother who raised his hand. If you can control your breath, hold your breath for give minuts. And he have the yani Mashallah corner office next door. THey will take the rest no one can control his breath.
