Who created God?

"Say: He is Allah, the One!, Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (Quran chapter 112)".
This surah or chapter is the greatest surah in the Quran, As this surah mentions Allah or God is eternal and Absolute; meaning he has neither beginning nor an end. This is a very important statement, because anything that has a beginning has an end and must have a creator. Allah does not have a creator and thus He is not created, He has no father, son or any partner, He is absolutely one and there is nothing like him. He is the originator of time and matter and His existence is forever. If we keep asking who created who, there won’t be an end to this question, so there must be someone who is uncreated, eternal, no beginning or an end, and is not dependent upon anything. We call this creator Allah or God.
