Thank you for your question.

When referring to God, eternal means that He is not restricted by the limitations of time as time is a factor of matter and God is not a material being. Ever living means that He is the source of life and is not brought to life.

Our duties towards Allah The Creator, is to know that He is The Only God, Who Created us and Showered and Showering on us every bounty and Protected us from every evil and harm. We must always thank Him and use His bounties in the proper way and never in doing wrong. Performing obligatory prayers on time and obeying Allah in each and every act or thought is the sign of the believers in Allah.

‘Fulfilling our duties towards His creation is to help others in every good cause we can and to talk to them in the same way we wish them talk to us, and treat them in the same way we wish them treat us.

Allah States in Quran: Verily, Allah Orders in Justice  and Fairness and being good to kinship, and Forbids evil and wrong and injustice. (Sura 16, Verse 90).

Wassalam.

The question of : Who created God is based on a misunderstanding which mixes between the creatures and The Creator. Every creature needs a creator. If you want to claim a creator who created The Creator, you will face the same question of: Who created that creator? Then who creator him and will continue to no end. You have no way but to submit to the fact that there must be A Creator Who was never been Created but He Created every creature.

'The reason leads that there must be a creator who was never been created.

Wassalam.

The nature of Allah, or God, is such that Allah always existed and did not have a creator. However, all (other) things are created and non-eternal. This is why God is sometimes referred to as the "First Cause".

Jews and Christians share this belief.

As for other prominent religions today, I am not sure of their views about the nature of ultimate divinity, but it would be an interesting conversation topic. 

Infinity can be difficult for the mind to grasp. However, the idea that God existed eternally is not more difficult to grasp than the idea that the universe existed eternally without a creator, which is held by some atheists.
