Faith in the Most Beautiful Names of Allah is a fundamental principle of creed. This study examines the theological purposes (maqāṣid) underlying three of these Names—al-Khāliq (the Creator), al-Bāriʾ (the Originator), and al-Muṣawwir (the Fashioner)—and their role in guiding believing parents to accept a fetus diagnosed with a congenital anomaly. It argues that genuine internalization of these Names shifts the believer away from materialist standards of perfection toward submission to divine wisdom, offering protection against a biomedical discourse that increasingly treats the fetus as a selectable product. Employing a descriptive method for the medical and juristic background, and an analytical-critical method for the doctrinal argument, the study engages contemporary secular critiques of reproductive selection alongside classical exegesis of the three Names. It concludes that theological acceptance of congenital anomaly is not passive resignation but rather an expression of pure monotheism in God’s acts of creating, originating, and fashioning.
