Al Badi – The Innovator

He innovated the heavens and earth as He origi- nated and created them in an unprecedented way

They say: “Allah hath begotten a son”: Glory be to Him, nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: everything renders worship to Him. To HIM IS DUE THE PRIMAL ORIGIN OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH: when He decreeth a matter, He saith to it: “Be,” and it is.

(2:116-117)

Allah is the only Innovator Who had been existing before everything’s existence, “He is the First” (HADID, 3).

From the root
b-d-'a with the
classical Arabic
connotations:
to introduce,
originate, start,
innovate
to do for the
first time, and
not after the
similitude of
anything existing,
to cause to exist,
to devise,
to be amazing,
outstanding,
marvelous,
superlative,
incomparable.

Say: “Go all over the earth and behold
how wondrously He has created man in the first instance:
and thus, too, will God bring into being your second life —
for, verily, God has the power to will anything!”
Al-Ankabut 29:20

Since Allah is the originator of everything, nothing can be created or innovated outside his realm. Humans can only discover what has been already originated by Him. He is the Incomparable innovator.
