Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah for you. Is it permissible to say that so-and-so created this door, meaning he made it?
Answer:
It is permissible, because "creation" (khalq) can refer to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and this is absolute creation. It can also refer to the creation of the servant. You create, and you fashion. Allah the Exalted said: "And you fashion." Creation in the linguistic sense is measurement or determination. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) determines things, and the created being also has a determination of matters, a testing of matters, and a weighing of them according to his capacity. Yes.
