The Creator

Exalted and Glorious

Say: “Shall I take for a Waliy (Helper, Protector) any other than Allah, the Creator (Maker) of the heavens and the earth?”  (6:14)

Oh my Lord!  You have indeed bestowed on me of the sovereignty, and taught me something of the interpretation of dreams – the (Only) Creator of the heavens and the earth!  (12:101)

Their Messengers said:  “What! Can there be a doubt about Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth?”  (14:10)

Say: “Oh Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth!  All-Knower of the Ghaib (Unseen) and the seen! You will judge between Your Slaves about that wherein they used to differ.”  (39:46)

This name is an attribute of Allah which means the Creator.  Allah created the heavens and the earth.  Allah as well is perfect and continues to create because He has All-Power and His mercy is overwhelming.

Allah Allah Allah
