Tafseer Ibn Kathir

هُوَ اللَّهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِيُ الْمُصَوِّرُ

He is Allah, Al-Khaliq, Al-Bari, Al-Musawwir.
Al-Khaliq refers to measuring and proportioning,
Al-Bari refers to inventing and bringing into existence what He has created and measured. Surely, none except Allah is able to measure, bring forth and create whatever He wills to come to existence.

Allah's statement,
الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِيُ الْمُصَوِّرُ
(Al-Khaliq, Al-Bari, Al-Musawwir.)

means, if Allah wills something, He merely says to it

"be"

and it comes to existence in the form that He wills and the shape He chooses,

فِى أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَأءَ رَكَّبَكَ

In whatever form He willed, He put you together. (82;8)

Allah describing Himself as being Al-Musawwir, Who brings into existence anything He wills in the shape and form He decides.
Al-Asma' Al-Husna

Allah the Exalted said,

لَهُ الاَْسْمَاء الْحُسْنَى

To Him belong Al-Asma' Al-Husna (the Best Names).

We explained the meaning of this Ayah in the Tafsir of Surah Al-A`raf.

The Two Sahihs recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah said,

إِنَّ للهِ تَعَالَى تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ اسْمًا مِايَةً إِلاَّ وَاحِدًا مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ

وَهُوَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْر

Allah the Exalted has ninety-nine Names, one hundred less one; whoever then preserves them, will enter Paradise.

Allah is Witr (One) and He likes the Witr.
Everything praises and glorifies Allah

Allah's statement,

يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضِ

All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him.

is similar to His other statement,

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمَـوَتُ السَّبْعُ وَالاٌّرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدَهِ وَلَـكِن لاَّ تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا

The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing but glorifies His praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is Ever Forbearing, Oft--Forgiving. (17;44)

Allah's statement,

وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ

and He is Al-`Aziz, The Almighty,

meaning, His greatness is never humbled,

الْحَكِيمُ



Al-Hakim, the All-Wise, in His legislation and decrees

This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Al-Hashr. All praise is due to Allah
