Q
What does it mean for Allah to be the self-sufficient Master in Islamic theology?
A
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah said:– ‘The son of Adam tells a lie against Me and he hasn’t the right to
do so; and he abuses me and he hasn’t the right to do so. His telling a lie against Me is his saying that I
will not recreate him as I created him for the first time; and his abusing Me is his saying that Allah has
begotten children, while I am the self-sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, Who begets not nor
was He begotten, and there is none like unto Me.”
