As a Muslim Islam teaches such attributes of God aka Allah in our religion as well, he is the most just, omnipotent, all-knowing etc etc
Tho i haven't yet mastered by religion funny enough i cant believe i still am a believer with soo less that ik about this spiritual sanctuary..
I have had such doubts and my goal has been to reason my way out of them since there is a multitude of evidence that already proves the existence of such a being so why bother solving a paradox that our brain isn't capable of comprehending.. in fact our great companions of our last and most beloved prophet (May peace and blessings be upon him) have reiterated such dilemmas to The prophet to which he replies that the fact that such dilemmas and questions Irv you is a clear sign of faith.
So we can agree its a logical contradiction to say that i can do anything yet i cant erase my own existence true?
so the god now is proven to be incapable of doing EVERYTHING..which is your metric to gauge what a god is i suppose.
but the problem with that is that we're not taking other attributes like GOD IS ETERNAL.. but he can do everything and now ceases to exist then he was never eternal to being with.. and if he ceases to exist then we too too as his creation? bruh what a dilemma ik.
here comes another attribute of his.. that he's Flawless.. and if he's flawless then he wouldn't contradict his attributes would he?
that means he won't cease to exist coz that would contradict his immortality (no beginning no end) but would that prove his divinity null just coz he can't undo himself? another attributes that he entitles himself with is The Originator/The Initiator, The First, and The Last , if he's the foundation of existence.. the originator.. then him ceasing to exist would mean the foundation of "existence" ceasing to exist..
but with the logic you presented.. any god claiming to be a a god with all these attributes isn't a god and is prolly a mortal with a god which provides us with another paradox coz that would be any god isn't a god.. hence each self proclaimed god has a god and now there are infinite beings claiming to be the foundation of existence.. if there are infinite god then it provides a problem.. a paradox within a paradox.. so with infinite gods with such power to their disposal would either there are infinite universes each having their god (which is another paradox) or there are a infinite gods possibly controlling finite number of universes and Allah has something to say about that 2nd option lemme tell you why the first one doesn't makes sense.. logically anything infinite neither has a beginning nor an end and if the infinite universes with infinite gods dont have an initial source to initiate from.. then their existence is in doubt hence that possibility doesn't exist.. one can ask that what if the infinity is staggered on that one source from which the infinity initiates .. i'd still argue that with your logic of god there can be infinite sources since each sources claims to be the initiator but cannot cease to to exist, which is your definition of what god or source of all creation should be, hence isn't the source (you can see how illogical your question was lol) so if infinity neither has a beginning nor an end.. it shouldn't exist in the first place since it has no 1 underlying existential foundation to being with or build upon.
2nd option regarding Infinite glads and finite universe.. Allah says this in Quran.
Al-Mu'minun 23:91
مَا ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُۥ مِنْ إِلَٰهٍۚ إِذًا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَٰهٍۭ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۚ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].
in a nutshell Allah SWT says universal Objectivity wouldn't be a thing and you'll be forced to choose between a God... but who's more valid.? and in this case infinite gods.. infinite standards claiming to be ideal..
So with that we can agree to the fact that your argument is a paradox in of itself and what you did is you took one attribute of god and try to conflict it with others to get to the wrong answer.. what you should have logically concluded if you really wanted to reconcile that matter.. is that god is also ALL KNOWING and someone all knowing with peak wisdom claiming to be the foundation of existence would know that he is a necessity if he ceases to exist so shall we since he is the creator after all.. so he can't
Your question was redundant to begin with and it isn't pragmatic and won't help you get anywhere if you really want to find such a being to believe in.. and you won't be existing to witness the foundation of existence.. ceasing to exist anyway so again a flaw in reasoning. first comprehend what god is and whether he really exists or not to really doubt his being .. rather than just giving up on that idea coz of a assumption you made that you won't be existing to ascertain in the first place lmao.
even as a believer i don't see such a doubt threatening coz I'm just assuming based on my limited thinking to how my god functions.. while evidently claiming that such a being exists.
There certainly are things that elude our ephemeral and minute understanding about god since he's the crux of existence and we live in as one of his creations .. if from him comes existence.. if he's the ultimate domain from which everything sprouts..then him ceasing to exist would literally answer what NOTHING truly is.
hope this helps you out Solis chwan

You can’t understand God. The mystery about God is only by himself. We need to understand his teachings and ourselves, what is our purpose within this creation?
Your brain can comprehend the existence of God and rejects it because of that. The brain is a small part of this whole universe and has a limit. Our brain will help us in the physical world but it will also die with our body. Only love is endless and that’s where you will find your answers, within your heart.
You can’t force love, if you don’t feel it in a honest way then you won’t find an answer.
Nobody can force you, maybe you will find your own answer.
great point.. first ponder over what you think exists in your universe that links to such a being.. and then make a boast about god not existing rather than trying to comprehend the incomprehensible
