The Creator
He who measures and makes be.

He has created each thing according to its just measure (qadar (القَدَر)), neither too much nor too little.
The Sufi meaning
To contemplate this Name in a blade of grass or a face: creation is not a past fact, it renews itself at every instant.
The servant's portion
Create to your own measure: a gesture, a work, a word — but with exactness.
