The ruling on some people saying: "We create," and similar expressions

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding some writers who use the word "created" in their expressions, meaning "made" or "manufactured," or saying "we create" in the sense of innovation, and the like?

Answer:
Creation, meaning bringing into existence, is exclusive to Allah.
And creation, in the sense of measuring or planning, comes from Allah and from others.
Allah is the Creator of all thingsالله خالق كل شيء
[Ar-Ra'd 13:16]
meaning the One who brings everything into existence.
As for measuring, as He said:
So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ
[Al-Mu'minun:14], meaning those who measure and shape. A person has the ability to measure; the engineer and the non-engineer measure this building, measure this craft, and then make it.
But bringing into existence and inventing belong to Allah alone. He is the One who created all things (Exalted and Majestic is He)
the best of creatorsأَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ
[Al-Mu'minun:14].
There are many "creators" in the sense of those who measure.
But as for those who bring into existence and originate things, it is none other than Allah. He is the One who brings things into existence.
