Was God Silent Before He Created the World?

4 February 2016 by Jasmin 2 Comments

ConfusionRobinson Crusoe, the character in the book with the same name, lived alone on an island for 28 years. During these years, he never met with anyone or talked with anybody. Without other humans, it was as if he was mute. From the point of view of ideas exchanged, he also seemed deaf.

The Tauhid Concept Makes God Silent

What about God? If God was alone before He created the world, as the Tauhid concept teaches, He couldn’t talk or listen to anyone. Other people say, “God was silent in eternity. He didn’t need to speak or hear.” If He was silent in eternity before creation, then He never spoke or listened in eternity.

God is Incomplete if He Relies on Angels for Communication

Some Muslims say, “He created angels and talked to them.” Does this mean that God depended on the angels for communication? Does this mean God is incomplete or imperfect without angels? Obviously, God was perfect before He created anyone, including angels.

The Trinity Concept Allows God to InteractTrinity

Without the Trinity, God would have acted as if He was mute and deaf before He created. In the Trinity, God the Father, God the Spirit, and God the Word interact with one another. They are three, but One. Their interaction with each other shows Christians how they should interact with each other.  

The Trinity is impossible for us to understand as humans. Yet, it’s easier to accept and believe in the Trinitarian God than the Tauhid God. It’s difficult to believe that God in eternity acted mute and deaf.

The Oneness of God

Both Muslims and Christians believe in the Oneness of God. “So know that there is no god but Allah …” (Qs 47:19). “He is the First and the Last, …” (Qs 57:3).  “… The Lord our God, the Lord is one” (Taurat, Deuteronomy 6:4). “I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. … there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other” (The Prophet Isaiah 45:5-6). All of these verses teach that God is one!

Heaven or Hell?

A human’s fate after death is hell or heaven. This should catch our attention more than the Trinity! If we want to go to heaven, we must be holy because God is Holy! “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory” (Taurat Isaiah 6:3).

How can we be holy? The only way is by believing Isa Al-Masih cleansed us from our sins through his sacrifice. Isa Al-Masih will make us holy and able to come before the Holy God!

    `
    Such an interesting wisdom. I am interested in learning this spiritual concept. However, i have a question related to God’s almighty. There are many ways how God will show its presence. Yet, I cannot say it and i should not judge the best way because each person has different recollection. How can you say that it is applicable for 7 billion people on this earth? Moreover, if can describe and tell others about God, it means that i know God and the God itself will lose its almighty and God just turns into the lower class of reality that is in our mind. What is your view on it? Thank you

      Veryandra,

      Thanks for your comment here and your question. You are right that there are many ways that God can show His presence. First of all, I want to ask you whether you were asking about God’s presence to the world as explained in the article?

      If so, God has revealed Himself to His people through His creations and even through a relationship with His people. There were witnesses and other proofs through history over His revelations. The Bible tells us about God’s revelations. It’s a trustworthy evidence of God’s revelations. Read more about it through this link: https://www.isaandislam.com/The-Bible/should-muslims-trust-the-bible.html.

      Blessings.
