So is it creation or is it Zuhuur? That is the question!

Reader comment on item: "Islam" Does Not Mean "Peace"
in response to reader comment: Dhimm The Torah Does Not Say Anything About Being "Created". The Word Is Made Manifest.

... So was your G-d or whatever hiding his creation then he made it manifest? And which hand did he use to hide it? And how did he continue to function with one hand?Your G-d must have created this Creation and then he made it manifest and something cannot come out of nothing!

And you know what? The Hellenes falsafa was beyond the God of Islam and your G-d's infantile falsafa Hebrew v. Greek or not.

And most damaging to your case is that the Jews of Mecca were very aware of this great Aristotelian problem and indeed posed the same question to Muhammad: "If Allah (read this as G-d if you wish) created this Creation then who really created Allah (or G-d)?" (see Sira page 571-572)

So who really created, or made him manifest if you wish, your Allah oh I mean G-d?

...And oh I forgot ,who cares if you know Hebrew or not, this thread is about an Arabic word, Islam that is!
