99 names of allah themaker6/7/2023 ![]() We are limited in what we can make, whereas Allah's creation is unbounded. ![]() He creates from nothingness, whereas we are merely finding ways to transform material from one form to another. Only Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ creates and He does so on an unimaginable scale. However, the difference is we are not really inventing. ![]() Similarly, Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ takes on the three roles - the creator, producer, and the fashioner. You have the planner, the builder, and the designer who gives it its final shape. Imam al-Ghazali compares these three names to the process of constructing a house. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise." - ( Qur'an 59:24) Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. "He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner to Him belong the best names. Huwal Laahul Khaaliqul Baari ul Musawwir lahul Asmaaa'ul Husnaa yusabbihu lahoo maa fis samaawaati wal ardi wa Huwal Azeezul Hakeem What's amazing is these names are followed in this exact sequence based on their meaning in in the following ayah: Lastly, He is Al-Musawwir, The Fashioner - He organizes and shapes the arrangement of the creation. Secondly, He is Al-Bari, The Producer - the one who initiates and brings into existence. He who produces something from nothing, i.e., He plans and creates. For example, these three names are often said to represent an order to His creation. But they are distinct names offering unique shades of meaning, bringing out different aspects to Allah's creating of creation. These names may seem synonymous with Allah's ability to invent or create. The three names of creation, Al-Khaliq (The Creator), Al-Bari (The Producer), and Al-Musawwir (The Fashioner). The name Al-Khaliq is mentioned in the Qur'an 8 times. From the Arabic root kha-lam-qaf (خ ل ق), which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to measure accurately, to determine the proper measure or proportion for something, to proportion one thing according to another, to create something based on a pattern or model which one has devised, to bring a thing into existence from non-existence.
