LessonsThe Originator of the World: Necessary Existence, Infinite Regress and the Correspondence ProofQuiz

معنى لا تناهي الأعداد والمعلومات والمقدورات
The meaning of the unboundedness of numbers, knowables, and possible objects of power.

Maʿlūmāt are what may be known; maqdūrāt are things within the scope of power. The passage explains their lack of a terminal bound: there is no final conceivable object beyond which further knowledge or power is impossible.

This does not imply that divine knowledge or power was once incomplete and later increased. The point concerns the unrestricted range of their objects, not changing perfection in the divine essence or attributes.
