Are human manufactures called creation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are human manufactures called creation, such that we say, "This car was created by so-and-so," meaning he made it?

Answer:
Creation is what is only fitting to attribute to Allah. One says, "This was made by so-and-so," "This was invented by so-and-so," or "This is the work of so-and-so." As for creation,
Allah is the Creator of all thingsاللَّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ
[Ar-Ra'd 13:16]
it is the creation of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and it is the making of so-and-so and the invention of so-and-so. Who is it that created it? Who is it that gave it thought and intellect? Is it not Allah (Mighty and Majestic)? And did not this come out of the creation of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)? Yes.
