We exist, Allah exists, Islam exists, devils exist, angels exist, prophets exist, heaven exists, hell exists, etc.

But why does existance itself exist?

You have stated a belief.
Those of us in the world who do not believe in gods, devils angels, heaven or hell would answer your question by saying that we don't know the why, yet, but that science is working on it.
I, and people like me, understand that Islam, and other religions as well, do "exist," but, frankly, have real trouble understanding why. That is one of the questions I am trying hard to answer at this Forum. Since you believe, tell me why!

Because of the Ever-Existent. Our existence is not same as the existence of the Allah (SWT), the ever-Living. There is surely a difference.

The question: a state of disbelieve, doubt and rebellion.
The answer: a state of believe, knowingness and allowance/surrender.

Woulden't you say, that the ever existing existance of Allah exists purely for our surrender to it and the joy that comes with that? :)

Believer or non believer is not who I am. I am that I am, and that is all I need to be. You may come to know me every single second anew, but if you desire to label me in permanence, I'm gone. For only Allah is the permanent, unchanging, everlasting, one, greatest, incomparible, all-encompassing, truth.

I came here to disbelieve, so that I may surrender again. To eternity.
