Allah’s traits are the same is His self. So His knowledge is the same entity as His Power, as His other traits. We are “known” by Allah and “created” by Allah. The “known” and “created” is the same entity even though they are viewed through different lenses.

The belief that Allah created all things, and all of their emanations. Allah created the Sun and created it’s rays, heat, etc. In other words, Allah created the causes and their affects.The Sun can not create rays on its own, rather its existence and all its existence’s affects are created by Allah.Another way to put this is that there is nothing but Allah that has independent affects away from Allah.
