Attributes and Being of Allah Ta'ala
Question
Is it correct that the only thing that’s common between the attributes of Allah is being Qadeem? Like when we say the words of Allah are perfect, but Allah himself is more perfect than any of his attributes?
Answer
His attributes are Qadeem like His being. So there is no question of which is more perfect; both are the same.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
