Taʿalluq is the relation of an attribute to its object: knowledge to what is known, power to what is possible, and takwīn to what is originated. The coming-to-exist or cessation of an object does not, by itself, mean the divine attribute changes in its essence.
A possible thing was once absent and later existed. Its external existence is temporal; yet its being eternally known does not make divine knowledge originated. By a qualified analogy, an eternal takwīn and a later product can be held together.
Nevertheless, knowledge relating to an object is not identical to producing that object. The comparison only challenges the sweeping assertion that an eternal attribute must have an eternally existing object.
