According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the concept of Creation (Al-Khalq) is the foundational principle of the entire Islamic worldview, asserting that Allah is the sole, absolute Creator (Al-Khāliq) who brought the universe into existence from nothingness with a profound purpose. The linguistic analysis by Imam Al-Tabari of the root kha-lam-qaf (خ ل ق) reveals a meaning of not just creating, but also of measuring and perfecting with wisdom. Across more than 200 Quranic verses, this theme is elaborated: the creation of the heavens and earth, the stages of human embryology, and the diversity of life all serve as signs (ayat) pointing to the Creator's magnificence. Ibn Kathir's tafsir emphasizes that this act of creation was not in vain; rather, its primary purpose, as stated explicitly in Quran 51:56, is for humanity and jinn to engage in worship ('ibadah). This worship is not for Allah's benefit, but for humanity's own spiritual fulfillment. The synthesis of scholarly views confirms that understanding oneself as a created being is the basis for humility, gratitude, and submission to the Divine will, forming the very essence of Islam.
