No such concepts like the past and the future for Allah

Whatever meaning He wishes to manifest, he shapes an appropriate form in an appropriate dimension, and experiences that meaning through that form.

Where?

Not within, nor without.

The emanation of a form, and the experience of a particular meaning, occurs through the revelation of the inherent meanings of the form.

Hence, the meanings and conditions, that become explicit through the form, are what compose the form in the first place. The form’s experience of its meaning is the result of the environment, conditions, and events that cause it to be.

All of this is created within the Knowledge of the One.

Actually, all seemingly animate and inanimate beings are nothing more than names in the realm of His Knowledge.

Their apparent presence is only of a hypothetical nature, based on being ‘acknowledged’ in His Knowledge.
