People with no inner spiritual life sometimes ask: If God created everything, who created God? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that some people would ask this very question: "A day will certainly come when some people will sit with their legs crossed and ask: 'If God created everything, who created God?'" [1]
At best, the question is based on perceived "cause and effect" relationships. Everything can be thought of as an effect and attributed to a prior cause that, in turn, is attributed to a prior cause, and so on. However, we must remember that cause is only a hypothesis, for it has no objective existence. All that objectively exists is a particular sequence of circumstances that is often (but not always) repeated. If such a hypothesis is applied to existence, we cannot find a creator of the first cause, because each creator must have had a prior creator. The end result is a never-ending chain of creators. [2]
The Creator must be Self-Subsistent and One, without like or equal. If any created being "causes" anything, that capacity was created within that being, for only the Creator is Self-Existent and Self-Subsistent. Only the Creator truly creates and determines possible causes and effects for His creation. Therefore, we speak of God as the Sustainer, who holds and gives life to all of His Creation. All causes begin in Him, and all effects end in Him. In truth, created things are "0"s that will never add up to anything, unless God bestows real value or existence by placing a positive "1" before the "0".
In the sphere of existence, what we call causes and effects have no direct or independent influence. We may have to use such words to understand how a part of creation is made intelligible to us and available for our use. But even this confirms our dependence upon God and our answerability before Him. God does not need causes and effects to create; rather, we need them to understand what He has created.
[1] Bukhari, I'tisam, 3.
[2] The futile notion of a never-ending chain of creators was one of the arguments used by Muslim theologians to explain the necessity of believing in God.

No one created God, He is the creators of all.
Everything has an ending or a stop and when it comes to Creation, God is the creator of creators. If what people say is correct (who created God) they would just go round this vicious circle because there has to be a certain point where it stops. It's like a drawn circle...theres a point where you start drawing the circle and a place where you end it. That is creation starts at God and ends to the tiniest atom etc...
May Allah guide you
Peace

God is not a "created" being. He is the "Alpha and Omega" - the Beginning and The End.
His theophany, appearing to Abraham in human form as King Melchizedek, describes him as having no father or mother.
God is the energy or "Life-Force" if you must call it that, from which everything else in this universe or any other has sprung from. He always has been and always will be. He is eternal. His "Essence" is bigger than your mind could possibly comprehend. He is Infinity Personified.
A personal relationship with Him and decades of study of His Word "The Book" or "The Bible" reveals His character and His personality. Unless you have both the personal relationship and an intimate knowledge of His Word, anything you have to say on the matter is pure speculation on your part.

God is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. She was not created and cannot be destroyed.
What does that sound like?
THE UNIVERSE of MATTER & ENERGY!
God is just another name for the universe/multiverse/cosmos- whichever is the greater of them all....
....the ground of our being without which we would not exist.
The ancients tried to explain this with the knowledge and tools they had. Science has long since surpassed their knowledge yet is still seeking truth with more and more powerful tools.
*****
A better proof that "God" doesn't exist is that "God" remains undefined. In meaning anything to anyone, God therefore means nothing and doesn't exist. If any brave Christian theologian were to try to define "God" (actually, Paul Tillich did just that with the "ground of all being" I mentioned above), he would bring "God" into existence the way defining "chair" brings a chair into existence. "God" would finally become something we can point to and know.

That is something we humans won't know until we reach the same realm as God/our creator. Why you ask? Well that's because we live in a 3 demensional world, first off. And we use only 2 to 3 percent of our brains and trying to figure out this vast universe with such crippled intelligence is futile. What we believe here in this world is what we know as logic. Logic meaning the what nature has given us, for example, gravity is one of them. We naturally believe things fall down but never fall up but we don't ask why, even though it's gravity, we just believe. So enlight of that, there are many things we believe by logic in this world. So MY POINT is this, I believe there's another different kinds of logic out there in the spiritual world. In this world we believe something must come before this or after this but that's our logic here but it could be something else in another world. Where things could fall sideways instead of down. I hope I didn't confuse you more.

God was not created. What you know God to be is the transendental All and in All, the uncreated Absolute that defies definition.

God was not created. This is a hard concept to grasp. He has always been and always will be. He is not bound by time. Age to age He remains.
