قال الأشعري: راجع إلى القدرة، وقال الماتريدية: صفة أخرى
The Ashʿarī account relates it to power, whereas the Māturīdī account treats it as another attribute.
Takwīn concerns the divine attribute associated with bringing things into being. A principal question in Ashʿarī–Māturīdī discourse is whether this relation is explained under divine power or treated as a distinct attribute of creating.
The distinction is not simply a change of vocabulary: it touches the classification of divine attributes, their relation to created things, and the difference between an eternal attribute and a temporal effect. Neither approach should be simplistically described as denying God’s creatorship.
Example: “God is powerful” and “God creates” are both affirmations. The technical dispute concerns how the two statements relate within a systematic account of divine attributes.
