Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: In the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He:[Al-Mu'minun 23:14]. He asks: What is the meaning of this verse?
Answer:
"Ahsan" (the best) is not the superlative form (af'ala) referring to this Creator alone, Glorified and Exalted is He. The superlative form sometimes comes without a second party for comparison,[Al-Ma'idah 5:50] [At-Tin 95:8] so the superlative form comes without a second party for comparison. Yes.
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: In the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He:
So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.
فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَAnswer:

But who is better than Allah in judgement for a people who are certain [in faith].
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حُكْمًا لِّقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَIs not Allah the most just of judges?
أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ
