The Originator • The One Who Begins Creation from Nothing
✨ ROOT MEANING
Arabic root: ب – د – أ (bāʼ • dāl • hamzah)
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Abda’a (أبدع) | To begin something new, to initiate, to originate without precedent |
| Bidāyah (بداية) | Beginning, start |
| Al-Mubdi’ (المبدئ) | The One who creates from absolute nothingness, without copying, without needing a model — solely by His will |
Al-Mubdi’ is the One who originates existence itself.
He brings forth what never was — life, time, matter, soul — by simply commanding: “Be.”
📖 QUR’ANIC VERSE
📌 Surah Al-Burūj 85:13
“Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats [it].”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Kathir, Al-Baghawi, Al-Qurtubi)**
- “Originates” (yubdi’) means Allah brought creation into being from nonexistence — nothing existed before He made it.
- “Repeats” (yuʿīd) means He will resurrect it after death — just as effortlessly.
- This verse affirms:
- His unmatched power
- His ownership of beginnings
- His unshared authorship of reality
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You are not random.
- You are not an accident.
You are the result of a divine act of intentional creation.
- When you feel worthless or lost, remember: Al-Mubdi’ began you on purpose.
The One who invented time chose this exact moment for you to exist.
📜 HADITH NARRATION
While Al-Mubdi’ is not mentioned explicitly by name in sahih hadith, the meaning of origination from nothing is central to many authentic narrations.
📌 Sahih Muslim 2653
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) — a beloved companion and the most prolific narrator of hadith from the Prophet ﷺ:
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Allah wrote the decrees of all creation fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth.”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Rajab, Nawawi)**
- This confirms that Allah originated not only matter, but meaning — planning creation before it existed.
- The divine pen recorded all futures before a single atom formed — showing that He is the originator of existence and of its purpose.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- Your story didn’t begin at birth.
It began when Al-Mubdi’ wrote your name with love — before time, light, or air existed.
- That past you carry? That future you fear?
All of it was begun by the One who wrote everything with wisdom.
🌍 EVIDENCE IN TODAY’S WORLD
1. The Miracle of Conception
- A human forms from a single cell — with mind, soul, and heart.
That is not biology. That is Al-Mubdi’ bringing life from unseen to seen.
2. New Doors Opening Where None Existed
- You think your path is over — and suddenly, a new opportunity appears.
He is The Originator — He doesn’t need doors. He creates them.
3. Emotional Rebirth
- After trauma, sin, or depression — you suddenly begin to feel again. To hope. To love Allah.
That’s not healing. That’s Al-Mubdi’ starting your heart again.
4. Nature’s Unceasing Innovation
- A seed breaks into a tree. A sky shifts into sunrise. A storm forms and dissolves.
This is constant origination — life is always unfolding from His command.
❤️ EMOTIONAL ANCHORING
Al-Mubdi’ is the One who says:
“Nothing is too ruined for Me to begin again.”
He began:
- Your soul
- Your story
- Your return
And He can begin again, even from your worst point.
Don’t fear the blank page. The One who created the universe can start over inside you too.
🤲 PERSONALIZED DU‘A
(Inspired by Qur’an 85:13 and Hadith Muslim 2653)
Not from the Prophet’s exact words — but drawn from authentic meanings
Yā Mubdi’,
Begin for me a chapter cleaner than my past.
Start something new where I only see endings.
Let my return to You be the most beautiful part of my story.
And when I forget how to move — start my heart again.
