Explanation of the name Al-Mubdi’

Allaah says,

"He is the One Who started the creation and He will repeat it" (10:4)

He began their creation to test them as to which one was best in action then He will recall them to reward those who did good and punish those who did evil for their evil. Similarly, He is the one Who began by creating each individual thing and then continuously repeats it.

"Is not He (better than your false gods) Who originates creation and shall thereafter repeat it, and Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth?" (27:64)

"Allaah originates the creation and then repeats it, then to Him you will be returned." (85:13)
