wouldn't something unchanging be inert?if he has eternal action,then that would mean eternal infinite regress of events in the past wouldn't it?Imam ghazali speaks against this.

Allah has infinite knowledge , since if he was finite he wouldn't be God,
Allah keeps on creating, by saying Allah doesn't change, what's meaant is his attributes , his knowledge, Allah is beyond time , so we shouldn't try to think theses things too much .
God cannot be finite , ofcourse, Maybe in some other sense , but try to understand. He has infinite Power
