What is the correctness of the statement: "The life of Allah is preceded by non-existence," in the commentary on al-Wasitiyyah?

The questioner : And the light of the questioner. I read the book al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah regarding the attribute of life that it becomes with knowledge. Is that correct, or is it deafness?

The Shaykh : The life of Allah the Exalted is a complete life that is not preceded by non-existence and is not followed by cessation. And the middle creed, what? What? Come on, peace be upon you. The commentary on al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah in which it was read that the life of Allah the Exalted is preceded by non-existence is an error without doubt, and this appears to be a typographical error, because if it is said to be a complete life, then a complete life is not preceded by non-existence. So the life of Allah the Exalted is a complete life encompassing all the complete attributes, not preceded by non-existence and not followed by cessation. Good.
