As is clear from the Exp. Note … the creation has three stages. 1. Al-Khaaliq, 2. Al-Baarii’ , 3. Al-Musawwir.
First is the planning and second is the actual making and producing. This second stage comes under the name Al-Baaree’. Third is the Al-Musawwir i.e. giving final shape to the thing or being created. As Allah created everything in a unique way so Al-Baarii’ is only one Allah. This quality of the creation belongs to no one except Allah. For e.g. an engineer makes a building. First he plans and draws a map like thing. Then he actually digs the land and puts the foundation and then makes the whole building. In the end he paints it and gives it its final shape. The engineer, in the very first place, used the material already present as it was created by Allah for the needs of mankind. Then the engineer imitated the shape etc. So he is an imitator. But Allah created everything from nothing. Allah gave to everything and everyone the best assessment, then Allah made /produced it in the best form. And finally Allah gave to everything /everyone the best shape. So: surah Al-Mu’minoom verse 14;
(23:14). Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.
Allah also gave guidance to everything of the purpose for which it is created. It does not mean that Allah created the creatures /creations slowly step by step. Rather, whatever Allah wants to create just says to it kun (Be) and then it happens according to Allah’s intention and plan of the quality and shape that Allah ordained for it and it is guided. The example of guidance given to all things created by Allah:
Allah created the heart to contract regularly and pump blood to the whole body. So the heart is doing that duty continuously. Also heart knows that during sleep it has to slow down but during running and exercise it has to increase its work of pumping blood especially to the skeletal muscles. But after eating it will increase blood flow to the stomach to digest food. Thus Allah All-Mighty is a very great and Unique Creator. Allah said in the surah Al-A’raaf verse 11 (its translation is):
(7:11). And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam”; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated.
