Al-Badīʿ - God is the Originator of Creation

Al-Badīʿ is the one (of whom it can be said that) there was never one like Him in all previous knowledge. The absolute Al-Badīʿ is the one for whom previous knowledge has no parallel in respect of his essence, attributes, deeds or anything ascribed to him. If there is any such thing previously known, he is not absolutely matchless, unequalled. No one is worthy of this name in an absolute sense except God Most High. There was nothing before Him so that one like Him could not have been known before Him. Every existence (which has come into being) after Him results from His producing it and is in no way analogous to its producer. Therefore, He is from eternity to eternity.
Every man who, in respect of prophethood, guardianship or knowledge, is distinguished by a characteristic previously known either in all the ages that have gone by or in his own epoch, is matchless, unprecedented (only) in relation to that (gift) and that period of time which are peculiarly his.
