[act. part. n. of خَلَقَ:] A worker in leather and the like; because he measures first, and then cuts. To خَالِقَات, meaning Women working in leather, as engaged in dividing a hide (أَدِيم), El-Kumeyt likens genealogists.
2 الخَالِقُ, as an epithet applied to God, properly, He who brings into existence according to the proper measure, or proportion, or adaptation; [and hence, the Creator; or] the Originator, not after the similitude of anything pre-existing: or He who hath brought into existence all things after they had not been in existence: and signifies the same; [i. e. the Creator of all things; or, as an intensive epithet, the Great Creator;] or the Creator of many creatures: Az says that this epithet, with the article ال, may not be applied to any but God. Accord. to IAmb, تَبَارَكَ ٱللّٰهُ أَحْسَنُ الخَالِقِينَ means احسن المُقَدَّرِينَ [i. e. Blessed be God, the Best of those who make things according to their proper measures, or proportions, or adaptations].
