Al Aqeedah at Tahaawiyah - Part 9

A few points covered in this lesson He causes death with no fear and restores to life without difficulty He has always existed together with His attributes since before creation. Bringing creation into existence did not add anything to His attributes that was not already there. As He was, together with His attributes, in pre-eternity, so He will remain throughout endless time It was not only after the act of creation that He could be described as "the Creator" nor was it only by the act of origination that He could he described as "the Originator." He was always the Lord even when there was nothing to be Lord of, and always the Creator even when there was no creation In the same way that He is the "Bringer to life of the dead," after He has brought them to life a first time, and deserves this name before bringing them to life, so too He deserves the name of "Creator" before He has created them This is because He has the power to do everything, everything is dependent on Him, everything is easy for Him, and He does not need anything. "There is nothing like Him and He is the Hearer, the Seer." (al-Shura 42:11) He created creation with His knowledge He appointed destinies for those He created taught by Abu Muadh Taqweem Aslam
