(Surah Ghafir, 40:64)

🌙 Al-Khaliq in the Sunnah (Hadith References)
The Prophet ﷺ beautifully taught us about Allah’s creation:
⭐ 1. Allah wrote everything 50,000 years before creation
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Allah wrote the decree of all creation fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth.”
(Muslim)
This shows His perfect planning and divine control.

The Prophet ﷺ often encouraged believers to look at the sky, stars, mountains, and seas because they reflect Allah’s greatness as Al-Khaliq.
