thumb|Al-Bari' written in Arabic '''Al-Bari' or Bari'' (Arabic: البارئ) is one of the names of God (Arabic: Allah'') in Islam, meaning "The Originator."

In Islam, God is the originator who created life and innovated everything out of nothing. Al-Bari' is derived from the Arabic root word "B-R-'", which conveys the idea of bringing something into existence from nothing. In the context of Allah being Al-Bari', it emphasizes the divine act of innovation and creation ex nihilo, meaning creation "out of nothing." This attribute highlights God's absolute power and authority over the cosmos, as Allah is the sole Originator who can bring forth existence without any pre-existing material.
