يُسَمَّى بِاعْتِبَارِ التَّعَلُّقِ عَالِمًا
He is called knowing in consideration of a relation.
A relation (taʿalluq) connects an attribute with what it concerns, as knowledge relates to what is known. If the entire predicate 'knowing' were reduced to a relation between an essence and objects, a question would remain about the positive perfection signified by knowledge.
A changing object or relation must be distinguished from origination of the divine attribute itself. Explaining relations can be useful without making the eternal attribute disappear.
