لَمْ يَزْدَدْ بِكَوْنِهِمْ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَكُنْ قَبْلَهُمْ مِنْ صِفَاتِهِ
The existence of creatures did not add to Allah any attribute that He had not possessed before them.
A newly acquired perfection would imply the previous absence of that perfection. Allah is free from such deficiency. His perfect attributes existed before creation and remain after creation.
The change lies in the existence of created things, not in the Creator’s attributes.
