The OriginatorFāṭir ( فاطر )

»The surah that opens with the praise of God as The Originator of the heavens and the earth. It takes its name from the word “fāṭir” (orginator), which occurs in verse 1. The surah affirms God’s power and Creation and contrasts this with the powerlessness and uselessness of the “partners” set up by the idolaters. The surah warns the idolaters of their punishment and comforts the Prophet through mention of previous messengers who were also rejected as liars. The great rewards that await believers are described.«

The surah is also known as Sole Originator, The Bringer into Being, The Creator

(Irfan-ul-Quran): In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Ever-Merciful

1
الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ فاطِرِ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ جاعِلِ المَلائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولي أَجنِحَةٍ مَثنىٰ وَثُلاثَ وَرُباعَ ۚ يَزيدُ فِي الخَلقِ ما يَشاءُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

All praise belongs to Allah alone Who is the Creator of (all the infinities of) the heavens and the earth, and Who makes the angels messengers having two or three or four wings, and adds to (and expands) the Creation as He wills. Surely Allah is All-Powerful over everything.
