You're repeating yourself over and over, your whole point is : god is timeless , then he knows the future and thus our fate.
A verse from the Quran that disagrees with you :
“Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (Divine Preordainments of all things before their creation as written in the Book of Decrees Al‑Lawh Al‑Mahfooz)” [Al-Qamar 54:49]
Here it doesn't say that fate("Qadar") is the god being timeless , it says that fate("Qadar") is a thing that god used to create with .
Here is another verse where god says that "it is a BOOK" :
"No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a Decree before We bring it into existence! That is truly easy for Allah: In order that ye may not despair over matters that pass you by, nor exult over favors bestowed upon you. For Allah loves not any vainglorious boaster" [Hadid 22-23]
Btw, The word "Decree" is strangely translated this way from the word "Book" in the arabic version of the Quran .
PS: I'm not expecting my mother to answer all my question, as I said it was just a discussion .
