Omnipotence And Illogical Essences
Can God do everything? Including the logically impossible?
Since we are told ليس كمثله شيئ and we are ordered to لا تضربوا لله أمثالًا – I would say that we take إن الله على كل شيئ قدير in the meaning that the questions about can a rock that he can’t lift or can he make a bigger God would be, in our human framework- we don’t know.
We have wahy telling us it is not of God’s supreme nature to do such things. As such we see that even when it says don’t do shirk it’s because we have not been given an authority or a sultan. So we don’t have to logically disprove the trinity because God could be that way if he wanted- rather Allah never taught this snd neither did isa صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Then comes Allah أعوذ بالله من الشيىطان الرجيم lying. Now Allah could lie but we ask the question why? He can’t get anything from us, he’s too supreme to just be joking around, and if the owner of the universe was in a difficult position then surely we’d see some turmoil in it.
So we can’t just reject the fitrah because God could’ve lied in it but we accept it because as humans we have no other option to function. Furthermore we have no reason to believe he is lying as I elucidated a bit on above and also we see no signs in the Quran of any deception.

Other than purposeless intellectual entertainment, such questions with inherent contradictions don’t serve any objective purpose.

I guess that is true
