التكوين
Takwīn: the term for bringing a possible thing from nonexistence into existence, or for the attribute related to that origination.
المكوَّن
Mukawwan: the thing brought into existence.
In the Māturīdī formulation, takwīn is an eternal attribute of God while the originated thing is temporal. Consequently, takwīn cannot be simply equated with the mukawwan, just as knowledge is not the known and power is not its object.
A particular tree comes into being in time; it is not an eternal tree merely because it is related to an eternal attribute. The aim is to distinguish the Creator's attribute from its temporal effect.
