Allah (s.w.t.) has
1,000 names in the Supplication of “Dua-e-Jaushan-e-Kabeer” or as normally
known as “Asma’-ul-Husna” which are 99.
One of His name is al-Musawwir or the
Fashioner or Shaper. There is a difference between Khaliq and Musawwir. Khaliq
or Creator denotes His creation of creatures with life like human beings or
animals or even plants. His creation of lifeless things is sun, moon stars,
earth etc. When He wants to create, He intends “Kun” and it comes into existence.
The word “Musawwir” denotes one who arranges forms and
colors and makes beautiful objects. The word “Musawwir” has been used in the
Glorious Qur’an 6 times as detailed below:
Surah al-Imran Ayah 6,
“Huwallazi Yusawwrekum Fil Arhaame Kaifa Yashau La Ilaha Illah Howal Azizul
Hakeem.” “It is Allah who shapes you in
the wombs as He wills. He is the only Lord, the Majestic, and All-wise.”
Surah al-A’raf Ayah
11,” “Wa Laqad Khalaqna’kum Summa Sawwarnakum Summa Qulna LilMala’ekatesjudu
LeAdama Fasajadu Illa Iblees Lam Yakun Minassajedeen.” “We created and shaped you, then told the angels to prostrate
themselves before Adam. All the angels obeyed except Satan, who did not.”
Surah al-Gha’fir Ayah
64, “Allahul Lazi Ja’alakumul Arza Qararan was Sama’a Bana’an wa Sawwarakum
faAhsana Suwarakum wa Razaqakum minat Tayyaba’ate Za’lekumullahu Rabbakum faTabarakallahu
Rabbul A’alameen.” “It is Allah who has
created earth as a place for you to live and the sky as a dome above you. He
has shaped you in the best form and has provided you with pure sustenance. This
is Allah, your Lord. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the Universe."
Surah al-Hashr Ayah
24, “Huwallahul Khalequl Ba’reul Musawwiru Lahul Asmaul Husna Yusabbehu
lahu Ma Fissamaw’ate walarze wa Huwal Azizul Hakeem.” “He is Allah, the Creator, the Designer, the Modeler, and to Him belong
all beautiful names. Al that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. He is
All-majestic and All-wise.”
Surah al-Taghabun
Ayah 3, “Khalaqassamawate walarze bilhaqqe wa Sawwarakum faAhsana Suwarakum
wailaihilmasir” “He has created the
heavens and the earth for a genuine purpose and has formed you in the best
shape. To Him all things return.”
Surah al-Ifitar Ayah
6-8, “Ya’ayyuhannasu Ma Gharraka beRabbekal Karim Allazi khalqaka fasSawwaka
faadalaka Fiayyie suratim Masha’a Rakkabaka.”
“Human being, what evil has deceived you about your Gracious Lord? Who created
you proportionately and fashioned you in whatever composition He wanted.”
The creation of human being in the wombs of their mothers
needs special treatment here. His name “al-Khaliqu” may be denoted to the
creation of man as a rule, but His name “Musawwiru” is demonstrated in varied types
of men and women having distinct colors of their skin, different shapes of
their faces, colors of their eyes etc. Every human being has a unique DNA, no
two persons have same faces, no two persons have similar shapes of markings on
their fingers. For a modern artist, he needs pencils, brushes, colors, paper
and day light. But Allah makes mankind in the wombs of their mothers without
any of these things and within three curtains in dark as stated in Surah al-Zumar Ayah 6, “……He creates you
in successive creations in the wombs of your mothers behind three curtains of
darkness.” These dark curtains are called; anterior abdominal wall, uterine
wall, amniochorion membrane.
