الْخَالِقُ
Al-Khaliq
1. Explanation of the Name
Al‑Khāliq comes from the root
خ‑ل‑ق (KH‑L‑Q), meaning “to create,” “to shape,” and “to bring into existence.” This Name affirms that Allah is
The Creator, who calls the cosmos into being from nothing, with perfect wisdom and artistry.
As The Originator, He fashions every detail—from vast galaxies to the tiniest cell—establishing order, purpose, and balance in creation. His creative power is unmatched and ever‑present.
2. About This Name
Al‑Khāliq appears in the Qur’an to remind us of Allah’s exclusive power to create and sustain the universe.

Reflecting on His creativity inspires awe and gratitude, acknowledging that every aspect of existence is a sign of His will and perfection.
