The question:
Is the name “Al-Khâliq” (The Creator) among the specific names of Allah ? And what is the meaning of Allah’s word:
﴿الَّتِي
لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِِثلُهَا فِي البِلاَدِ﴾ [الفجر:
8].
The meaning of the verse:
﴾The like of which were
not created in the land?﴿ [Al-Fajr (The Break of Day or The Dawn):8].
The answer:
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon whom Allah sent as a mercy to the
Worlds, upon his Family, his Companions and his Brothers till the Day of Resurrection.
The Name “Al-Khâliq” (The Creator) is specific to Allah .
So, it is forbidden to name people by Allah’s Names which are specific to Him, except by adding the word `Abd (i.e. servant), because
they are not convenient but to Him, Like Er-Rahmân (The Most Beneficent), El-Qudûs (The Holy) and El-Khâliq, in addition to
the other names such as Shâhanshâh,
or the judge of the judges and the like.
As for Allah’s word:
﴿الَّتِي
لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِِثلُهَا فِي البِلاَدِ﴾ [الفجر: 8]
The meaning of the verse:
﴾The like of which were
not created in the land?﴿ [Al-Fajr
(The Break of Day or The Dawn): 8], it means that tribe from `Ad Al-Ûla, which is “Iram”, that has high buildings and whose
people were living in Al-Ahqâf, which is situated between Oman and Hadhramaut. Allah has not ever created people that are stronger
than them or who had huge bodies like them.
The perfect knowledge belongs to Allah. Our last prayer is all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
Peace and blessing be upon our Prophet , his Family, his Companions and Brothers till
the Day of Resurrection.
