Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-raḥmatullāhi wa-barakātuh We notice that you have previously asked regarding the proof from Qurʾān and Ḥadīth that the Attributes of Allah Taʿālā are eternal. You had mentioned that you experience waswasās (evil thoughts) in this regard although you hold the belief that they are eternal. It is a matter of concern that you are now asking for proof that Allah Taʿālā is totally independent of His creation which is a fundamental belief of a Muʾmin. It is important that you identify the reason why you are experiencing these waswasās, and make an effort to eradicate them as they would lead you to question or doubt even the most basic beliefs of a Muʾmin. You should do this by reciting the Qurʾān often, making Zikr often and sitting in discussions and discourses of the ʿUlamā and pious. Avoid the company of such people and literature that teach or propagate incorrect beliefs and cast you in doubt with regards to your beliefs as a Muslim. By doing these things, your Īmān would be protected and made firm. Nevertheless, Allah Taʿālā is completely independent of all of his creation. Allah Taʿālā says: «فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ» [آل عمران: 97] … for surely Allah is independent of all the Worlds. [Surah Āl ʿImrān; verse 97] «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ» [العنكبوت: 6] Definitely Allah is independent of all the Worlds. [Surah ʿAnkabūt; verse 6] If you are experiencing waswasās regarding Allah Taʿālā being independent of all His Creation, recite Surah Ikhlāṣ often with its translation.
