Treatment using name AL-Khaliq

Meaning

Al-Khaliq means the Creator: the One who brings everything into existence from nothing, according to a perfect plan and measure.

Understanding the Name

The root kh-l-q means to create and to measure out. Al-Khaliq decides what will exist, in what form, and at what time. The Qur’an says: “Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian over all things” (Az-Zumar 39:62). Together with Al-Bari and Al-Musawwir, this Name describes the stages of creation (Al-Hashr 59:24).

Every person, every leaf and every star is a sign pointing to its Creator. Reflecting on Al-Khaliq removes arrogance from the heart: we did not create ourselves, and everything we have came from Him.

Effects and reflections

All creatures are the work of the Creator; each one was a secret in the knowledge of Allah and was brought into being at its appointed time.

If you ask an ‘arif (a Sufi who knows Allah) his name, he will reply, “I am a creature.” Ask him, “Whose creature?” and he will say, “The Creator’s.” Ask again, “Who is the Creator?” and he will answer, “The Creator of all creatures, the One and Unique: Allah.”
