Why do scholars believe that creation in the aforementioned verses means صنع (making/fashioning) and not إيجاد من العدم (bringing into existence from nothingness)? Is it correct to say that Allah created the clay and then fashioned Adam from it? And is the formation of a fetus in its mother's womb an act of صنع (making/fashioning) and not إيجاد من العدم (bringing into existence from nothingness), based on His saying, the Almighty: "أحسن الخالقين" (the Best of creators/fashioners)?

In the Arabic language, creating something from nothing and transforming something from one form to another is called "khalq" (creation). If creation is attributed to a human being, it is acceptable in a manner befitting its meaning, as in the Almighty's saying: (So Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators). However, attributing creation in the sense of bringing something into existence from nothing and blowing the spirit into it, this can only be attributed to Allah the Almighty. Since both "manufacturing" and "bringing into existence from nothing" are called "khalq" (creation), there is no problem. Our belief remains that some forms of creation can only be accomplished by Allah, which is bringing into existence from nothing, and some forms of creation Allah enables some of His creation to perform. This is not exclusive to the attribute of creation only, as some attributes belong to Allah the Almighty in their most perfect form, while creatures possess them to the extent that suits their capabilities.
