“He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the
Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever
is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He
is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.”
(Glorious Quran 59:24)
The third stage in creation is taswir, which means
to give shape; here it implies giving something its
final complete shape. In all these three stages
there is no resemblance whatever between Allah's
work and human works. None of human plans is
such as may not have been derived from previous
models and plans. But each of Allah's plans is,
unique and His own original creation. Whatever
man makes, he makes it by combining the
substances created by Allah. He does not bring
anything from non-existence into existence, but
composes and constructs by different methods
whatever is present and available. Contrary to this,
Allah has brought everything from non-existence
into creation, and the substance itself of which He
has made the universe is created by Him. Likewise,
in the matter of giving shape also man is not the
inventor but an imitator, and only a poor imitator.
The real Maker of forms and shapes is Allah, Who
has given a unique and matchless shape to every
species and individual and has never repeated
exactly the same shape or from.
Jazak Allah Khair.
