Al-Badi' (The Incomparable Creator) is a name that conveys the concept of creation without precedent or parallel. In linguistic terms, creativity refers to the act of creating something without imitation or following an example. For Allah, this means bringing forth existence without tools, material, time, or space—something that is exclusive to Him.

Al-Hakim (The Names of Allah)

The Wisest of the Wise and the Bestower of Wisdom is Allah, Al-Hakim (The All-Wise). He creates nothing in vain, nor does He legislate without purpose. To Him belongs the ruling in this world and the Hereafter. Allah says in the Qur’an: “And He is the Subjugator over His servants, and He is the Wise, […]

Al-Haqq(The names of Allah)

Al-Haqq: One of Allah’s Names, meaning “The Absolute Truth.” Al-Haqq signifies that Allah is the ultimate reality, whose existence is undeniable and who embodies perfect justice and authenticity.

Al-Qayyum (The Names of Allah)

Al-Qayyum: One of Allah’s Beautiful Names, Al-Qayyum signifies “The Self-Sustaining, Eternal One,” embodying His absolute continuity in action and attributes, as well as His vigilant oversight over all beings and their deeds. This name points to the perfect independence and completeness of Allah’s power, His governance, and His unceasing care over creation.  

Al-Badi’ embodies two meanings:

  1. The Absolute Uniqueness: Allah is incomparable in His essence, attributes, actions, and creations. He is the absolute Creator, and it is impossible for Him to have a counterpart, both eternally and in the future.

  2. The Creative Action: He is the Creator who originates all things without any prior example. The servant’s engagement with this name involves frequently mentioning it and understanding its meaning, which allows Allah’s light to manifest upon them, guiding them into the realm of creativity. A key aspect of honoring this name is to avoid innovation (bid’ah) and to adhere to the Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet).

The term Al-Badi’ is mentioned in the Quran, specifically in Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-An’am. As Imam Al-Sa’di noted, He creates things in the most beautiful forms without any previous method. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated in Sahih Al-Bukhari: “Allah is the Creator of every creator and what he creates.” This emphasizes that Allah alone is the ultimate Creator, with no parallels in His creation.
