The Creator and creators!

When the question of “who is the Creator?” is asked from different people, surely the response is “God” . Qur'an verifies that :

Allah is the Creator of All things ...

(Qur'an, surah Zomar, verse 62)

 

But also in Qur'an, we read verses in which Allah tells the Prophet Jesus (PBUH):

... and when you create from clay, the figure of a bird, by My Permission; then you breathe in it and it becomes a bird by My Permission....

(Qur'an, Surah Maa'edah, verse 110)

 

In another words, Allah Himself is confirming that His Prophet is a creator; while, as mentioned in the first Qur'anic verse of this article, Allah clarifies that He is the Creator of ALL things; i.e. while Allah confirms that Jesus created, but at the same time, Allah clarifies that Jesus's act was by Allah's Permission. One key point to ALWAYS remember is the Divine Permission and another key point -which must NEVER be forgotten- is the fact that Allah Creates from absolutely nothing, from non-existence, while others -who are allowed by Allah to create something- create from things which Allah has already Created and using the means which Allah has Created. For instance, Jesus (PBUH) made a statue of a bird from dirt -the dirt which Allah Created- using his hands and other capabilities -which Allah Created- and then by Allah's Permission, life was breathed into that dirt bird :

...(Jesus told the children of Israel:) Surely, I create for you from dirt, figure of a bird then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird, by Allah's Permission ...

(Qour'an, Sural Al-Emraan, verse 49)

 

If Allah Wishes to Create a bird, a bird is Created from non-existence:

Verily, when He (Allah) Intends a thing, His Command is: "Be", and it is!

(Quran, Surah Yaasin, verse 82)

 

Allah is Uniq and has no partner whatsoever; therefore, humans such as Jesus must not be considered gods or similar to God:

...there is “nothing” whatsoever like Him (Allah)...

(Qur'an, Surah, Shora, verse 11)

In today's world, human knowledge -using human brain, vision and ... which are Allah's Creations and through observation of the existing things and phenomena in this Universe which are again Created by Allah- has progressed, tremendously. The issues of “stem cells” and “cloning” are such examples through which, the scientists -relying upon their Allah-Created brains and based on the orderly and therefore, somewhat scientifically predictable performance of Allah-Created cells, DNA (with all hidden characteristics and secretes) and ...- have achieved new fronts in human knowledge. (whether or not all things that are being done are approved by Allah or not, are out side the boundaries of this article and Shi'ah jurisprudence must be consulted.)

In considering things that the Created-human do -even creating dependently- one must remember that the only INDEPENDENT Creator is Allah the Almighty, the Omnipotent and Omniscient, the All-Knowing and All-Wise, ... .
