If Allah Is the Creator, Then Are Humans Also Not Creating? | #8 Allah's Names & Attributes

If I ask you a simple question, who is the creator of the heavens and the Earth? Allah.

Who is ahsanu khaliqun, the best of the khaliqun? Allah.

But you said that Allah is the only creator of the heavens and the Earth, so how can there be khaliqun, creators, and Allah is the best one of them? The people who are gonna get the worst punishment with Allah yawmu qiyama are those who make pictures.

Allah made haram for you to make pictures of living things for two reasons.

Number one, you are trying to compete with what Allah alone does.

The second thing is it's opening the door to a shirk.

And that is why Allah Azzawajal said, "Hadha khalqullah faaruni mada khalaqa ladina mindunihi".

This is the creation of Allah, so show me what anyone other than him created.

Now, someone here may bring, what about, you know, like, say, cloning and genetic engineering and all of this?

Let's continue then insha'Allahu ta'ala with Al-Khaliq and Al-Khallaq.

Now here Sheikh Abd'ar-Razzaq hafidhuAllahu ta'ala, the sheikh what he does is he actually separates the name Al-Khaliq in two chapters.

Here in this chapter, he talks about Al-Khaliq in a general sense.

In the second chapter after this, he talks about the three levels of Al-Khaliq, Al-Bari, Al-Musawwir.

So the two he's gonna separate the discussion.

He's gonna talk about Al-Khaliq generally, then he's gonna talk specifically about the meaning of Al-Khaliq, Al-Bari, Al-Musawwir.

These three names together when they come together because remember we said that there's a meaning to the name and what else is there a meaning to? The connection of each name to the other.

So there's a meaning of Al-Aziz and there's a meaning of Ar-Rahim.
