ہُوَ الۡاَوَّلُ وَ الۡاٰخِرُ وَ الظَّاہِرُ وَ الۡبَاطِنُ ۚ وَ ہُوَ بِکُلِّ شَیۡءٍ عَلِیۡمٌ ﴿۳﴾

He is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden: and He has full knowledge of all things. (Surah Hadeed)

In the above verse of the Qur’aan Kareem, Allah Ta‘ala‘ala explains to us that his being is eternal. Being eternal means that Allah Ta‘ala‘ala was forever, is forever and will always be forever. Allah Ta‘ala‘ala has no beginning and no end. Rather, he is the creator of time and the creator of every creation.
