The Creator, Allah-azwj
هُوَ اللَّهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ ۖ لَهُ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ {24}
He is Allah ‘لْخَالِقُ’ the Creator, the Maker, Al-Musavar (the Painter). His are the most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the skies and the earth Glorifies Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise [59:24]
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أُسَيْدٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَنْزَلَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ يُسَمَّى بِهَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْعَزِيزِ الْجَبَّارِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Ali Bin Al Abbas, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Aseyd, from Yaqoub Bin Ja’far who said,
‘I heard Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws saying: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed unto His-azwj servant Muhammad-saww that, there is no god except He-azwj, the Living, the Eternal, and He-azwj is Named by these Names, the Beneficent, the Merciful, the Mighty, the Compeller, the Exalted, the Magnificent.
فَتَاهَتْ هُنَالِكَ عُقُولُهُمْ وَ اسْتَخَفَّتْ حُلُومُهُمْ فَضَرَبُوا لَهُ الْأَمْثَالَ وَ جَعَلُوا لَهُ أَنْدَاداً وَ شَبَّهُوهُ بِالْأَمْثَالِ وَ مَثَّلُوهُ أَشْبَاهاً وَ جَعَلُوهُ يَزُولُ وَ يَحُولُ فَتَاهُوا فِي بَحْرٍ عَمِيقٍ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا غَوْرُهُ وَ لَا يُدْرِكُونَ كَمِّيَّةَ بُعْدِهِ
So, over there, their intellects were stupefied, and their forbearances were lightened, and they struck examples for Him-azwj, and Made rivals for Him-azwj, and resembled Him-azwj by the examples, and they exampled Him-azwj by resemblances, and Made Him-azwj as being declining and transforming. They strayed in a deep ocean, not knowing what its depth it nor realising the magnitude of its distance’’.[1]
