Khutbah 1 — Doosra hissa: Kainat ki takhleeq
Arabic matn:
أَنْشَأَ الْخَلْقَ إِنْشَاءً، وَابْتَدَأَهُ ابْتِدَاءً، بِلَا رَوِيَّةٍ أَجَالَهَا، وَلَا تَجْرِبَةٍ اسْتَفَادَهَا، وَلَا حَرَكَةٍ أَحْدَثَهَا، وَلَا هَمَامَةِ نَفْسٍ اضْطَرَبَ بِهَا.
أَحَالَ الْأَشْيَاءَ لِأَوْقَاتِهَا، وَلَأَمَ بَيْنَ مُخْتَلِفَاتِهَا، وَغَرَزَ غَرَائِزَهَا، وَأَلْزَمَهَا أَشْبَاحَهَا، عَالِمًا بِهَا قَبْلَ ابْتِدَائِهَا، مُحِيطًا بِحُدُودِهَا وَانْتِهَائِهَا، عَارِفًا بِقَرَائِنِهَا وَأَحْنَائِهَا.
Roman Urdu talafuz:
Ansha’al-khalqa inshaa’an, wabtada’ahu ibtidaa’an, bila rawiyyatin ajaalahaa, wa la tajribatin istafaadahaa, wa la harakatin ahdathahaa, wa la hamaamati nafsin idtaraba bihaa.
Ahaala al-ashyaa’a li-awqaatihaa, wa la’ama baina mukhtalifatihaa, wa gharaza gharaa’izahaa, wa alzamahaa ashbaahaa, ‘aaliman bihaa qabla ibtidaa’ihaa, muheetan bi-hudoodihaa wa intihaa’ihaa, ‘aarifan bi-qaraa’inihaa wa ahnaa’ihaa.
Roman Urdu tarjuma
Allah ne makhlooq ko paida kiya aur uski ibtida farmayi, baghair kisi pehle se soch-vichar ki zaroorat ke, baghair kisi tajrube se faida uthane ke, baghair kisi harkat ke jo usne pehle khud paida ki ho, aur baghair kisi zehni pareshani ya andarooni bechaini ke.
Usne har cheez ko uske muqarrar waqt ke mutabiq rakha, mukhtalif cheezon ke darmiyan munasibat paida ki, unki fitri khasusiyat muqarrar ki aur unhein unki munasib shaklein ata ki.
Woh in sab cheezon ko unki paidaish se pehle hi jaanta tha; unki hudood, unki inteha aur unke tamam pehluon ka ilm rakhta tha.
Tashreeh
1. Allah ko kisi planning ya tajrube ki zaroorat nahin
Insan koi kaam karne se pehle sochta hai, tajruba karta hai, ghalti karta hai aur phir apne tareeqe ko behtar banata hai. Allah ki zaat aisi nahin. Uska ilm aur qudrat kamil hai. Kainat ki takhleeq ke liye use kisi tajrube ya mashq ki zaroorat nahin.
2. Kainat mein nizam aur taqdeer
Imam Ali ؑ batate hain ke Allah ne har cheez ko ek muqarrar nizam ke tehat paida kiya. Kainat mein cheezon ka ek doosre se talluq aur unki fitri khasusiyat Allah ke ilm aur hikmat ke mutabiq hain.
3. Allah ka ilm takhleeq se pehle bhi tha
Allah kisi cheez ko paida karne ke baad uske bare mein ilm hasil nahin karta. Woh har cheez ko uske wajood mein aane se pehle bhi jaanta hai. Yeh Allah ke sifat-e-ilm aur kamil qudrat ka bayan hai.

- Allah ki zaat aur sifaat ko makhlooq ke paimane se nahin naapna chahiye.
- Kainat ka nizam Allah ke ilm, qudrat aur hikmat ka mazhar hai.
- Allah ka ilm azali hai; use kisi tajrube ya tajdeed-e-ilm ki zaroorat nahin.
- Insani aqal Allah ki makhlooq hai, is liye woh Khaliq ki zaat ka mukammal ihata nahin kar sakti.

The Creation of the Universe
خلق العالم
He initiated creation most initially and commenced it originally, without undergoing reflection, without making use of any experiment, without innovating any movement, and without experiencing any aspiration of mind. He allotted all things their times, put together their variations gave them their properties, and determined their features knowing them before creating them, realising fully their limits and confines and appreciating their propensities and intricacies.
أَنْشَأَ الخَلْقَ إنْشَاءً، وَابْتَدَأَهُ ابْتِدَاءً، بِلاَ رَوِيَّة أَجَالَهَا، وَلاَ تَجْرِبَة اسْتَفَادَهَا، وَلاَ حَرَكَة أَحْدَثَهَا، وَلاَ هَمَامَةِ نَفْس اضطَرَبَ فِيهَا. أَحَالَ الاْشياءَ لاِوْقَاتِهَا، وَلاَمَ بَيْنَ مُخْتَلِفَاتِهَا، وَغَرَّزَ غَرائِزَهَا، وَأَلزَمَهَا أشْبَاحَهَا، عَالِماً بِهَا قَبْلَ ابْتِدَائِهَا، مُحِيطاً بِحُدُودِها وَانْتِهَائِهَا، عَارفاً بِقَرَائِنِها وَأَحْنَائِهَا.
When Almighty created the openings of atmosphere, expanse of firmament and strata of winds, He flowed into it water whose waves were stormy and whose surges leapt one over the other. He loaded it on dashing wind and breaking typhoons, ordered them to shed it back (as rain), gave the wind control over the vigour of the rain, and acquainted it with its limitations. The wind blew under it while water flowed furiously over it.
ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ ـ سُبْحَانَهُ ـ فَتْقَ الاْجْوَاءِ، وَشَقَّ الاْرْجَاءِ، وَسَكَائِكَ الَهوَاءِ، فأَجازَ فِيهَا مَاءً مُتَلاطِماً تَيَّارُهُ، مُتَراكِماً زَخَّارُهُ، حَمَلَهُ عَلَى مَتْنِ . الرِّيحِ الْعَاصِفَةِ، وَالزَّعْزَعِ الْقَاصِفَةِ، فَأَمَرَها بِرَدِّهِ، وَسَلَّطَهَا عَلَى شَدِّهِ، وَقَرنَهَا إِلَى حَدِّهِ، الهَوَاءُ مِنْ تَحْتِها فَتِيقٌ، وَالمَاءُ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا دَفِيقٌ.
Then Almighty created forth wind and made its movement sterile, perpetuated its position, intensified its motion and spread it far and wide. Then He ordered the wind to raise up deep waters and to intensify the waves of the oceans. So the wind churned it like the churning of curd and pushed it fiercely into the firmament throwing its front position on the rear and the stationary on the flowing till its level was raised and the surface was full of foam.
Then Almighty raised the foam on to the open wind and vast firmament and made there-from the seven skies and made the lower one as a stationary surge and the upper one as protective ceiling and a high edifice without any pole to support it or nail to hold it together.
Then He decorated them with stars and the light of meteors and hung in it the shining sun and effulgent moon under the revolving sky, moving ceiling and rotating firmament.
ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ سُبْحَانَهُ رِيحاً اعْتَقَمَ مَهَبَّهَا، وَأَدَامَ مُرَبَّهَا، وَأَعْصَفَ مَجْرَاها، وَأَبْعَدَ مَنْشَاهَا، فَأَمَرَها بِتَصْفِيقِ المَاءِ الزَّخَّارِ، وَإِثَارَةِ مَوْجِ البِحَارِ، فَمَخَضَتْهُ مَخْضَ السِّقَاءِ، وَعَصَفَتْ بهِ عَصْفَهَا بِالفَضَاءِ، تَرُدُّ أَوَّلَهُ عَلَى آخِرِهِ، وَسَاجِيَهُ عَلَى مَائِرِهِ، حَتَّى عَبَّ عُبَابُهُ، وَرَمَى بِالزَّبَدِ رُكَامُهُ، فَرَفَعَهُ فِي هَوَاء مُنْفَتِق، وَجَوٍّ مُنْفَهِق، فَسَوَّى مِنْهُ سَبْعَ سَموَات، جَعَلَ سُفْلاَهُنَّ مَوْجاً مَكْفُوفاً، وَعُلْيَاهُنَّ سَقْفاً مَحْفُوظاً، وَسَمْكاً مَرْفُوعاً، بِغَيْر عَمَد يَدْعَمُهَا، وَلا دِسَار يَنْظِمُها.
ثُمَّ زَيَّنَهَا بِزينَةِ الكَوَاكِبِ، وَضِياءِ الثَّوَاقِبِ، وَأَجْرَى فِيها سِرَاجاً مُسْتَطِيراً، وَقَمَراً مُنِيراً: في فَلَك دَائِر، وَسَقْف سَائِر، وَرَقِيم مَائِر.
