24هُوَ اللَّهُ الخالِقُ البارِئُ المُصَوِّرُ ۖ لَهُ الأَسماءُ الحُسنىٰ ۚ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۖ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُMuhammad AsadHe is God, the Creator, the Maker who shapes all forms and appearances!1 His [alone] are the attributes of perfection.2 All that is in the heavens and on earth extols His limitless glory: for He alone is almighty, truly wise!Thus Baydawi. The two terms al-bari' ("the Maker") and al-musawwir ("the Shaper", i.e., of all forms and appearances) evidently constitute here one single unit.For this rendering of al-asma' al-husna, see surah 7, note 145.
