Al-Musawwir
The Fashioner
Prophetic Traditions
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَصْنَعُ كُلَّ صَانِعٍ وَصَنْعَتَهُ
“Indeed Allah fashions every craftsman and his craft.”
Al-Musawwir is the One who designs and shapes every form in creation with unique beauty and purpose.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ
“Indeed, Allah does not look at your forms or your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds.”
While Al-Musawwir shapes all physical forms, ultimate worth is determined by the heart and deeds.
