Oneness in the attributes of Allah Ta‘ala

Question

In Aqeedah Tahawiyya by Moulana Faheem it is mentioned:

Oneness in His Attributes means that the likeness of His attributes cannot be found in any other being nor is any one of His attributes multiple.

Can Mufti kindly explain to me what it means that Allah Attributes are not multiple?

Answer

This refers to the fact that the sifaat of Allah Ta`ala, such as ilm and qudrat have no increase and decrease. His knowledge is one and it covers all things of the past, present and future.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
