Al Badi'i in the Quran
بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ the Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decides on a matter, He just says to it, ‘Be!’ and it is. Al-Baqara : 117 بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ صَاحِبَةٌ ۖ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ The originator of the heavens and the earth—how could He have a child when He has had no spouse? He created all things and He has knowledge of all things. Al-An'aam : 101
