Answer:
Who created Allah
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 57 Surah Hadid verses 2-3:
To Allah belongs the
Kingdom of the heavens and the earth.
He Alone grants life and causes death, and has power over
everything. He is the First,
as well as the Last! The Manifest, as
well as the Hidden! And He has knowledge
of everything.
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 112 Surah Ikhlaas verses 3-4:
Neither has He an
offspring, nor is He is the offspring of anyone! And none is equal with Him in rank.
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 42 Surah Ash-Shura verse 11:
There is
Absolutely nothing like Him (Allah) in the whole Universe!!! He is the All-Hearing, The
All-Seeing!! To Him Alone belong the
keys of the treasures of the heavens and the earth!!
Your
Question: Who created god, how god came into being,
Allah Subhanah is The Absolute
Original Creator of everything that exists in creation; and it is in the
inherent nature of only those in creation to be created! The Creator is not created, but He is the
One and Only One Who Creates! That
Absolute Original Creator of absolutely everything that exists in creation is
Allah Subhanah, the One and Only Supreme Lord, Creator, Master, Sustainer, and
Cherisher of everything that exists.
Allah Subhanah is that One and
Only Being Who was in existence when there was absolutely nothing before Him;
He is that One and Only Absolute Original, the Absolute Creator of everything
that exists in the heavens and the earth.
Hudaifah reports
that the Messenger of Allah(saws) used to invoke Allah and in His Praise would say:
You (Allah) are the First, as
there was nothing before You!
And you are the Last, for there is nothing after You!.

Beloved
brother, absolutely everything that exists in this universe owes its creation
to the One and Only Original Creator Allah Subhanah; He is The Creator Who
creates and is not and cannot be created; for it is only in the inherent nature
of creation to be created. The very Essence
and Nature of being the Al-Khaliq (The Creator) Demands and Signifies that a
Khaliq (Creator) cannot be created, but The Creator is the Only One Who
creates; and that One and Only Creator of everything that exists in creation is
Allah Subhanah wa Taala.
Abu Hurairah reported that Allah's Messenger (saws) said,
"The Shaytaan comes to man and asks, 'Who created so-and-so.. until
finally he asks, 'Who created your Lord?' The people will continue raising questions
until (instigated by the whisperings of the Shaytaan) they will ask, 'Allah
created the creation, but who created Allah?' So whoever is faced with such a situation
should say, 'I believe in Allah and His Messengers'."
