«Be, and it is» (kun fa-yakun): creation by command, not by a mould

Sha'rawi holds that God created by the word «be» with no prior mould, so that human beings are alike in limbs and functions while each person is distinct in fingerprint and voice. ^{1 2}

He compares human craft with God's making: a maker needs a mould into which the material is poured, and cannot reach perfect likeness. Creation from Adam to the Hour came by command, not by a mould. ¹

Sha'rawi notes that each person has a fingerprint, a voice print, a smell and a bodily code by which the body recognises its own cells, which tell one person from another, and reads this difference as a sign of God's full power. ² He says that resurrection restores each person with the same elements and form he had in this life. ⁵

Sha'rawi lists the senses of qada' in the Qur'an: finishing a thing, commanding an act, death, and judgment and separation. He takes judgment as the common sense. ^{3 4} He says the decreed matter exists in God's knowledge before people know it. ⁴

These are Sha'rawi's views alone. The positions of exegetes and theologians on «be», qada' and qadar, the academic view and other views are not yet entered.
