LessonsThe Attribute of Takwīn: Reality, Eternity, Created Effects and RelationsQuiz

وَيُفَسَّرُ بِإِخْرَاجِ الْمَعْدُومِ مِنَ الْعَدَمِ إِلَى الْوُجُودِ
Takwīn is explained as bringing what does not exist out of nonexistence into existence.

The word bringing out is not literal physical relocation. A nonexistent thing is not a pre-existing object stored in a place called nonexistence. The point is that something which previously lacked external existence comes to exist.

For example, before a particular tree originates, that tree does not exist externally. Its beginning is an origination of existence, not a journey undertaken by an already-existent object.
