11 AL KHAALIQ – THE CREATOR

ONE WHO CREATES ALL THINGS FROM NOTHING. EVERYTHING SEEN AND UNSEEN IS CREATED BY AL KHAALIQ.

 

هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُ ٱلْبَارِئُ ٱلْمُصَوِّرُ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
He is Allah the Creator, the Co-ordinator, the Fashioner; His are the most excellent names; whatever is in the heavens and the earth declares His Perfection; and He is the Mighty, the Wise. 59:24

Everything that is created is in essence a sign of Allah. Creation has Divinity written all over it. The physical world we live in is the most obvious sign of Al Khaaliq. Everything perfectly balanced with the human being the best of creations.

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ
Certainly We created the human being as the best of moulds . 95:4

“You think you are a small entity, but within you is enfolded the entire Universe.” Imam Ali (pbuh)

THE MIRACLE OF LIFE CREATED BY AL KHAALIQ
Our fingerprints are our own unique bar code.
Human eyes can differentiate between more than seven million colours.
If the DNA of a human body is uncoiled, it will stretch 10 million miles, from Earth to Pluto and back.
There are 37 trillion cells in our body.
If you spread out an adult human’s brain, it would be about the size of a pillowcase.
The heart pumps 8,000 litres of blood around the body every day.
We take around 17,000 breaths a day on average, and don’t have to think about a single one of them

REFLECTION

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
And I have not created the jinn and the human being except that they should worship Me. 51:56
“Worship is of three kinds:
Some people worship Allah, because they fear Him – so it is the worship of slaves;
Others worships Allah to seek reward – so it is the worship of merchants;
And those worships Allah, out of love and thankfulness – and this is the worship of the free and it is the most excellent worship.”
Imam Ja’fer As Sadiq (pbuh)
