ANSWER:

No, time (al-dahr) is not an attribute of Allah; rather, Allah is the Creator and Controller of time, with all of time being His creation, as explained by scholars like Ibn Baz. The phrase “for Allah is time” from a Hadith means He causes events to happen and controls time, not that He is time itself, distinguishing between the eternal Creator and His created universe, including time.
