Can you answer these three questions?

Can God destroy Himself? If not, is he omnipotent at all?

Can God create another Almighty God? If not, is he omnipotent at all?

Can God create a being that is more powerful than himself? If not, is he omnipotent at all? If yes, was he omnipotent at all?

(Say He is Allah (who is) One. Allah the eternal who is resorted to. He neither begets nor is born. And there is no peer to him)

I think chapter (Surat) Al-Ikhlas in Noble Quran answers your Qs.

Veteran Member: I Share (not Debate) my POV
Hypothetically:
1) God exists
2) I know what God can and can not do
*) Of course it is impossible for me to say anything about what God can or can't do
*) But as you asked, I just went with the flow
*) But I won't debate on these issues


Can God destroy Himself?
No

If not, is he omnipotent at all?
If He would, then He would not BE anymore (also not be omnipotent anymore...)

Can God create another Almighty God?
No

If not, is he omnipotent at all?
If He would, then He would not be Omnipotent anymore

Can God create a being that is more powerful than himself?
No

If not, is he omnipotent at all?
If He would, then He would not be Omnipotent anymore

If yes, was he omnipotent at all?
God is Omnipotent, hence "triple No"

Yes, but then there'd be no good.

Can God create another Almighty God? If not, is he omnipotent at all?

Yes, and then they're the same.

Can God create a being that is more powerful than himself? If not, is he omnipotent at all? If yes, was he omnipotent at all?

That is more a philosophical question; is God infinite in power? Are there different infinities?

Jesus in me
Can God destroy Himself? If not, is he omnipotent at all?

Can God create another Almighty God? If not, is he omnipotent at all?

Can God create a being that is more powerful than himself? If not, is he omnipotent at all? If yes, was he omnipotent at all?

In the first two I believe He could but wouldn't.

In the third one, I believe there can be nothing more powerful than an omnipotent God, so the answer is that He can't do the impossible but that does not change His omnipotence.
