Question

Answer
Allah Ta'ala states, 'And His throne was upon the water.' (11:7)
Allah Ta'ala states, 'And we made from water everything in which there is life.' (21:30). In a Hadith narrated by Imraan ibn Husain (Radhiallaahu Anhu), Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was asked concerning the beginning of creation. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied, 'Before Allah, there was nothing and Allah's throne was upon water. Then Allah Ta'ala created the heavens and the earth and wrote down in the preserved Tablet the predestination of everything.' (Mishkaat pg.506; Qadeemi)
For further references and information, kindly refer to the Tafseer of the above 2 Aayaats and also refer to Mirqaat vol.II pg.3.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
