And it is not the case that He has any name or attribute that came into existence, and the difference between the attributes of essence and the attributes of action is that every attribute by which Allah is described by its opposite is one of the attributes of action, like the Creator, and if it is not described by its opposite, it is one of the attributes of essence, like life, honor, and knowledge.

And in the Al-Zahiriyah fatwas, if he swears by the attributes of Allah, he should look at that attribute; if it is one of the attributes of essence, it becomes an oath, because Allah is not described by its opposite, and if he says 'by the wrath of Allah and the displeasure of Allah,' it does not become an oath because Allah is described by its opposite, which is mercy.

As for His eternal attributes, life, for Allah is alive with His eternal attribute of life; and (as for) the power, surely He is capable of all things by His eternal attribute of power; and (as for) the knowledge, surely He is knowledgeable.

For Allah is All-Knowing, and the prophetic message was revealed to the prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him; and our recitation in the Quran is created, and our writing of it is created, but the Quran itself is uncreated.

And what Allah, the Exalted, mentioned in the Quran is a narration about Moses.
