58 AL MUBDI’ – THE BEGINNER

ONE WHO ORIGINATES AND INITIATES ALL CREATION FROM NOTHINGNESS (WITHOUT A PRIOR MODEL). HE IS THE BEGINNER OF ALL THINGS, AND NOTHING COULD HAVE EXISTED WITHOUT HIS WILLING IT TO BE.

 

إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيد
“It is indeed He who originates (begins) and restores (brings back). ” 85:13

Al Mubdi’ (the Beginner) and al-Mu’eed (the Restorer) are often paired together as He who begins (originates) creation will also restore it (re creates).

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ لَنْ يَخْلُقُوا ذُبَابًا وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا لَهُ 
…People, here is an illustration, so listen carefully: those you call on beside God could not, even if they combined all their forces, create a fly….. 22:73

Carl Sagan (Astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist….) said: ‘If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe’.

REFLECTION

If every book began with the pen of an author and every building with the drawing of an architect, then it is inevitable that the earth and its being habitable with such precision indicates that there is a Creator who originated it (began it from nothing – AL Mubdi’. The cosmos points to Him.

BENEFITS OF RECITATION
