 In the waswas-avoiding philosophy, you don't gather all information and then make rational conclusions.

And now the question "Who created Allah then?" destroys their argument. But their argument was in line with Islam and this counter-argument is against Islam, so the first one continues to be widely accepted, but the counter-argument is dismissed as "waswas":
