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)

Suicide is only applicable in the "IN" position in this sequence, in this age. I must assume from your question you do not comprehend this factor. You expressed it clearly in your comment "If God can do anything, can he commit suicide if he really wanted to?"
If there is and in there mist be an on the line and also an out. If God is everywhere he must not only be in and out, He must be covered by the most superior of the guidelines that apply to in, on the line and out.
The guidelines for out are a state of being in existence in which there is no change, Consequently it is wrong to try to lower God to the level of mankind and to box Him in the in position. It appears you like most want to see a God as a man and like a man or humankind.
Is that a proper thing to do? I guess you must decide that for yourself. I personally would not have a God who is in my image and do not want to make my God in my image, after my likeness.

Nothing is impossible for God, or so the Chrisitans say. If they claim that he can't commit suicide, then they are saying that something is impossible for him. Given the atrocities he has committed, there is no chance he'd go to heaven.

God would not commit suicide. He is perfect and sinless and to kill your self is a sin, therefore God can not and wouldn't if he could.

I don't think he can because suicide only kills the body and he isn't a body he is a spirit also it is said he has always been around and will always be around

He did already for all mankind in the form of His son Jesus Christ-He laid down his life for us no man took His life and then He rose again that is the salvation message.

God is a spirit, not a human; although Jesus took on human form and lived among us.

God has no physical body. Have you read the Bible by any chance?

God was before there was anything, even death. Therefore God cannot die.
