Can God almighty create a thing which he cannot destroy?
God cannot do anything and everything. There are so many things that God almighty cannot do.
Can God be born? One of the characteristics of God is that He is not born. If we say that God almighty was born, then there was a time when He didn't exist. And if there was a time when He didn't exist, For Him to come into existence, somebody has to make Him exist. So there is somebody else who is really God not Him. If we say that God almighty cannot be born, we are also saying that The Creator cannot become His creation. Because creation means what is in need of a Creator. To you be a creature, means that there has to be someone who create you. So if God became His creation, that means He is now in need of a creator. THIS IS IMPOSSIBILITY AND ABSURDITY!
Can God create a stone which is too heavy for Him to lift?
God almighty cannot be unjust. The moment when God become unjust, he ceases to be God. Because it's one of quality of God almighty that he is JUST.
The Qur’an says:
"Allah is never unjust In the least degree." [Al-Qur’an 4:40]
God cannot be cruel.
God almighty cannot throw me out of his domain. He can obliterate me. He can kill me. He can vanish me. But he cannot throw me out of his domain. WHERE WILL HE THROW ME? Everything belongs to him.
God cannot create a tall-short man. Yes he can make a tall man short. But no longer will he remains tall. But you cant have a tall-short man. You can have a medium man, who is neither tall nor short. But you cant have a man who is tall and short at the same time.
nowhere does the Quran says that God can do everything, Quran says in several places that God has the power over all things. There is world of a difference between "Allah can do everything and Allah have the power over everything"
Allah says in holy Quran (85:16)
"He does what He intends (or wills)"
Whatever he intends he can do. But God does only Godly things. He does not do Ungodly things.
When we muslims say "God almighty can do all things", we are talking about all things that are consistent in Him being God. Not included the absurdity, impossibility and the things which make "God" no longer "God".
ISLAM HAS LOGICAL ANSWER FOR THIS QUESTION
EDIT >>>>>> ==============================...
"His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, “Be!” and it is." (Qur’an, 36: 82)

Nice one! The answer is no. A common misconception is that omnipotence means God can do anything. But that's not true. He can do anything that is consistent with His nature and essence. Stopping being God, or contradicting Himself, or thwarting Himself, etc., are not self-consistent. And thus He cannot (and doesn't wish to) do such things.

But if there is nothing he cannot do, why can't he make a rock big enough for him not to be able to lift?
Better yet... Can God kill himself if he wanted to?

Nothing is impossible for God. There is no rock God could not lift He is too powerful.

I have a comment for Biomimetik who says matter is just another word for illusion. Why don't you go sit on the train tracks and wait for a train, and you'll be enlightened to what kind of illusion the train matter is........

Christians are not know-it-alls but you want to be but you can't without knowledge about God. Pray and ask God and he will reply!

Better still: if there is nothing impossible to said deity, would it be possible for it not to exist?
