Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
Allah is the Creator of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them; and there is nothing in creation that is like Him. If He decrees and wills something, He only says to it ‘Be’ and it is as He willed it. Nothing can stop His command and His decree.
