One method which I've seen used very often to tell people of other faiths about Islam is through the "there is no picture without a painter" approach, demonstrating how everything around us must have required a creator and that's where Islam sheds more light on with the Qur'an. This then led me back to the question about Allah (swt)'s creation. I hope Allah forgives me if asking this question alone is a major sin for me but I have been curious about how the "picture without a painter" approach doesn't apply in this context.
Through all the research I've done I have found out that he is the first and the last, there was nothing before him and nothing after him he is the one and only creator of everything. And that Allah tells us not to question of that which we have no knowledge. But I as a person need some sort of explanation or I'm afraid I might be lead to the wrong track that is why I thought I should ask here.
