Attributes and Being of Allah Ta’ala

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: 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?

Bismillaah

A: 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.
