Muslims believe in the creativity of Allah and that Allah
created everything in the universe. This follows from the
belief that Allah is One and that there is nothing and noone that can compare with Allah. The idea of the universe
comes from Allah. He is also the one who makes the
universe happen, who creates it and keeps it going. More

discoveries show that Allah is the creator.
