he argues that ‘time in relation to us is like eternity in relation to allah, and since eternity is a negative attribute that does not exist on its own, so time in relation to the contingent world or the entire cosmos is (also) an imagined attribute that does not exist’ the concept of time is needed to compare the sequence of events or motion, but real existence is attributed only to the thing that actually moves, not to the abstractions of motion, time or space in which motion is observed:and time and space are also a consequence of natural bodies, but time is something imagined that does not exist (in itself), but is introduced by the motion of orbs and localized things when we ask about them ‘when’. so time and space do not exist in reality, but existence is to the things that move and still.
