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).
