لَا كَمَا يَزْعُمُ الْكَرَّامِيَّةُ مِنْ أَنَّ لَهُ صِفَاتٍ لَكِنَّهَا حَادِثَةٌ
This opposes the reported Karrāmī position that God has attributes, but they originate in time.
The view differs from outright denial of attributes: its dispute concerns their eternity. Some reasoning associates the appearance of new creatures or new objects of relation with the origination of attributes.
The response distinguishes the emergence of an event or object from the emergence in the divine essence of knowledge, power, or life that was previously absent. The latter is incompatible with the affirmed eternity and perfection of the attributes.
