Al-Bariʾ


1. Explanation of the Name

Al‑Bārīʾ comes from the root ب‑ر‑أ (B‑R‑A), meaning “to originate,” “to shape,” and “to bring forth.” This Name declares that Allah is The Originator and Evolver, who designs every form in creation with perfect wisdom and purpose.

As The Maker of Forms, He fashions each creature’s shape and function out of nothing, ensuring harmony and balance throughout the universe.


2. About This Name

Al‑Bārīʾ appears in the Qur’an to remind us that every feature of creation is a reflection of His creative decree.

Reflecting on this Name deepens our gratitude for the intricate beauty around us and strengthens trust in His perfect plan.

Contemplating Al‑Bārīʾ invites us to notice new beginnings and transformations in our lives, recognizing that Allah continually renews creation and our own hearts.
