Hafez Ibn Katheer Rahimahullaah states, “The meaning of خلقis to make something according to a plan and برء means to fulfill and implement what one has decided and to bring it into existence. Besides Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo, none is able to always plan, give sequence to something and then have the ability to implement it and bring it into existence.”
Just as Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo is Al-Khaaliq , He is also Al-Baaree i.e., after the action of creating, the creation are not free from His control, but remain bound to His command. To plan and give sequence to something is not very difficult.
However, to implement and give life to it is not within the power of everyone. To grant such existence is only the work of Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo .
Allaamah Zamakhshari Rahimahullaah states, “Al-Baari is that Being who creates the creation free from defects as Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo has said: “You will not see in the creation of Rahmaan any defects, then look again, can you see any fissure?” (i.e., He has created it so well-balanced and perfect that that there is no break, weakness, defect, or disorder. The creation is completely free from all of these).” (Mulk)
In every single of Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo’s Creation, whether it be man, animals, plants, matter, heavenly bodies, seven heavens, perfect workmanship has been displayed. There is no difference. It is not that some has been created with great wisdom and acumen, whilst others (Allaah save us!) have been created for no purpose or without reason. Whoever harbours such a thought, should understand that there is some defect in his intellect and understanding. Thus, the whole universe, from top to bottom, is bonded to a perfect and sound system. There are no fissures, nor any breach in its design. Everything is exactly as it ought to be. In the above verse, reference is only made to the skies.
The meaning of the verse is thus, “O addressee! Raise your gaze towards the skies, you will neither find any disproportion nor any crack or fissure. In fact, you will find it to be clear, level, uninterrupted, arranged and regulated. Despite such a long era passing since its existence, there is no difference and disparity.”
