86 Preface إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الخَلّاقُ العَليمُYusuf AliFor verily it is thy Lord who is the Master- Creator,1 knowing all things.Khallaq: the emphatic intensive form, as meaning the Creator, Who is perfected in His skill and knowledge, and Whose creation answers perfectly to His designs. Therefore no one should think that anything has gone wrong in God’s creation. What may seem out of joint is merely the result of our shortsighted standards. It often happens that what appears to us to be evil or imperfect or unjust is a reflection of our own imperfect minds. See the next two verses and notes.
