Allah Ta‘ala is that being who is alone in the quality of khalq (creating). There is no English equivalent for this, because we may translate it as ‘the act of creation’ but it actually means to create something from total non-existence. Allah Ta‘ala introduces Himself through His creation. So reflect over the handiwork of Allah Ta‘ala and try to understand Him. Each creation has a different program for itself, which has been instilled within it by Allah.
