Al Baari

Al Baari means the One who gave existence to all creatures in a formidable and appropriate way with a precise function. Everything that Allah Ta'ala has created is good in the way that He created it and nothing which Allah Ta'ala has created is useless. Everything that Allah Ta'ala has created is good in its place.

Everything that has been created is for the well-being of humanity. Allah Ta'ala says:

"It is He who created for you whatever is on earth..." (S 2: V 29)

Insaan benefits from these things when he strictly follows the instructions of Allah Ta'ala in its use. All disorders in the Dunya are caused due to not respecting these instructions and due to changing the function of something.

For example, Allah Ta'ala created man and gave him certain responsibilities. Likewise, one must understand that Allah Ta'ala created women in a way that is compatible with their function. Her fragile and weak constitution does not allow her to do difficult and heavy work. Entrusting her with responsibilities for which she was not created is like using a small knife to cut a big tree. Definitely, the knife will break but the tree will remain intact and there will be no knife to cut vegetables. The kitchen will be abandoned without the work of the garden being advanced.

This same reasoning applies in all domains. And maybe that is what is called "The right man in the right place". To use each thing in its appropriate way is called 'Adl (justice) and to remove something from its appropriate place is called 'Zulm (injustice).

There will never be peace in this world as long as we do not have the will to eliminate Zulm. And Zulm will continue to exist as long as we do not submit to the Divine instructions in managing each atom of our environment.

Therefore, the attribute Al-Baari represents a message of peace, justice and harmony.
