God's Attriutes
If
the Creator is eternal and everlasting, then His attributes must also be
eternal and everlasting. He should not lose any of His attributes nor
acquire new ones. If this is so, then His attributes are absolute. Can
there be more than one Creator with such absolute attributes? Can there be
for example, two absolutely powerful Creators? A moment's thought shows
that this is not feasible.
The Quran summarizes this argument in the following verses:
God has not taken to Himself any son, nor is there any god with Him: For
then each god would have taken off that which he created and some of them
would have risen up over others. And Why, were there gods in earth and
heaven other than God, they (heaven and earth) would surely go to ruin.
