Al-Badi

The Wonderful Originator, The Unprecedented and Incomparable Inventor

Allah is Al-Badi, The One who created and formed the universe without any mold or preceding example. With His will he invents all that exists without any prior material. His creation is made without any similarity to anything else that has ever existed.

Mentions From The Quran & Hadith

From the root b-d-‘a which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to introduce, originate, start, innovate to do for the first time, and not after the similitude of anything pre-existing to cause to exist, to bring into existence to devise, to uniquely contrive to be amazing, outstanding, marvelous, superlative, incomparable.

Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, “Be,” and it is. (Quran 2:117)

[He is] Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion and He created all things? And He is, of all things, Knowing. (Quran 6:101)

Have they not looked at the heaven above them – how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts? And the earth – We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind, giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah]. And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers – As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. (Quran 50:6-11)
