Is the Creator Able to Become a Creature?

Question

The Creator can make any creature whatever He wills; is He Himself also able to become some creature, or not?

Answer

All creation has been created by God, the Absolutely Powerful (qadir mutlaq). The question concerning the Creator — whether He Himself is able to become some creature or not — is a misplaced question, because every creature is originated (hadith) and contingent (mumkin), whereas the Pure God is necessary (wajib) and pre-eternal (qadim).
