We come from sperm cells and egg cells. Then we die and our bodies decay in coffins, while some of us are cremated.
As for the origins of the universe, there are competing theories, each with its good share of support: Panspermia, Clay Theory and Abiogenesis.
That said, I have two questions for you:
1) Theists claim that a supernatural entity (in your case, Allah) created the universe. But the problem lies here: creation can only occur at a point in time. For example, if I made pumpkin waffles at 9:00 in the morning, the batter and waffles did not exist prior to 9:00 in the morning. Time does not exist outside of the universe. So how could a supernatural entity have created the universe if time cannot exist outside of it?
2) Muslims claim that we all must follow Allah. Well, if I have to find Allah, does that mean he's hiding? I ask the same question about Jesus.
Faith is dishonest and illogical. It is simply irrational to think you know something that you don't. God (s) relie (s) on texts written by fallible human beings to communicate with adherents. Ce est fou (French for "that is crazy").
But great Dragonball profile picture. Vegeta kicks ass!
Another thing believers of all religions never want to ask themselves is the following.
Which seems more likely a a probability.
1. A god(any god) exists.
or
2. Humans make up gods.
If a believer wont accept the same argument they make for their god from a person with another god, they need to think about WHY they reject all other gods besides theirs. The only difference between the atheist and a believer is that we reject one more god claim than they do.
