In this context, infallibility means adhering strictly to the textual and conceptual boundaries of religious texts, and describing Allah only with what has been revealed in the Qur'an and , while avoiding ambiguous terms. As for the effect of time and place on Allah Almighty, declaring Him free from place is expressed with meanings, some of which are correct and some are not. And His transcendence beyond time, if it means that Allah is the First and the Last, the Creator of time and its Director, then this is true. But if it means negating the active attributes established in the Qur'an and Sunnah, then this is false and contrary to religious texts.
