Ok, but how do you figure your god and the first cause are synonymous? How do you figure it had to be your god? Why couldn't it have been anything else?
So your response is because being the creator is one of Allah's attributes? But there are dozens of creator gods out there. Is your conclusion based on revelation only?
Through God's Name/connection we can come to know he is the real true life by which all life exists, and the real existence that exists due to it's nature and not due to something else causing it to exist. It naturally follows that he is the Creator of all things and that there is no gods besides God.
We been given knowledge the true life/existence is God, which is why Quran emphasizes on the name Al-Hayu (The living/the existing).
