muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarخَلْقٌ خَلَاقَةٌ خَلَقٌ خُلُوقَةٌ

Core sense — he measured or proportioned it; he created it; it became old and worn outgenerated

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe measured, or proportioned, the hide, and sewed it—خَلَقَ الأَدِيمِ

The primary meaning is the act of measuring, or determining the measure or proportion of a thing; making a thing by measure, or according to the measure of another thing; or proportioning one thing to another; synonymous with تَقْدِيرٌ.

maṣdar خَلْقٌ and خَلْقَةٌ.

Here the measuring is قَدَّرَ; or قدّر: he measured the hide, لِمَا يُرِيدُ [for what he desired to make of it], or لِلسِّقَآءِ [for the skin for water or milk that he desired to make], before cutting it; he measured it to cut from it a water-bag, a water-skin, or a boot.

In the same way خَلَقَ النِّطَعَ: he measured the نطع [q. v.]; when one cuts it, one says فَرَاهُ.

he determined the measure of the sandal, or proportioned it, and made it by measure—خَلَقَ النَّعْلَ

Also expressed by قَدَّرَهَا.

Hence the saying of Zuheyr, praising Herim Ibn-Sinán:

shāhid
وَلَأَنْتَ تَفْرِى مَا خَلَقْتَ وَبَعْضُ القَوْمِ يَخْلُقُ ثُمَّ لَا يَفْرِى

[And you indeed cut what you have measured; but some of the people measure, then will not cut] — that is, when you decide on a thing you carry it out, while others decide on what they do not carry out. In this quotation the final character of the first line and the initial character of the second are missing in the original text.

El-Hajjáj said, مَا خَلَقْتُ إِلَّا قَرَيْتُ وَعَدْتُ إِلَّا وَفَيْتُ [I have not measured unless I have afterwards cut, and I have not promised unless I have afterwards performed].

I will form for you, or make according to its proper measure, for you—أَخْلُقُ لَكُمْ مِنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ

In the Kur 3. 43; that is, أُقَدِّرُ for you, and I will form, of clay, a thing like the form of the bird, or of birds.

Qur’ān 3:49 Lane quotes this verse
وَرَسُولًا إِلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ أَنِّى قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِـَٔايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ أَنِّىٓ أَخْلُقُ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطِّينِ كَهَيْـَٔةِ ٱلطَّيْرِ فَأَنفُخُ فِيهِ فَيَكُونُ طَيْرًۢا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَأُبْرِئُ ٱلْأَكْمَهَ وَٱلْأَبْرَصَ وَأُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَمَا تَدَّخِرُونَ فِى بُيُوتِكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

"And (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1.1figurative · مجازGod brought the thing into existence after it had not been—خَلَقَ ٱللّٰهُ الشَّىْءَ

Hence also: the bringing a thing into existence according to a certain measure or proportion, so as to make it equal to another thing, or uniform with it; or the originating or producing a thing after a pattern or model one has devised, and not after the likeness of anything already existing — another meaning it has in the classical language of the Arabs. As the act of God it means originating, or bringing into being, anything not after the likeness of anything already existing; and creating a thing, which is generally the best rendering, as meaning the bringing into existence from a state of non-existence.

.

Or خَلْقٌ, as the act of God, means the creating out of nothing.

serve your Lord, who brought you into existence when you were nothing—أُعْبُدُوا رَبَّكُمُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ

But in other passages of the Kur (6. 2 and elsewhere) it is said that God created mankind of clay.

God brought the creation, or created beings, or mankind, into existence according to a predetermination required by wisdom—خَلَقَ ٱللّٰهُ الخَلْقَ

According to the A, this is a figurative phrase; the predetermination is تَقْدِير.

One says هٰذِهِ خَلِيقَتُهُ الَّتِى خُلِقَ عَلَيْهَا, خُلِقَهَا, and الَّتِى خُلِقَ: see خُلُقٌ.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

O ye people! Adore your Guardian-Lord, who created you and those who came before you, that ye may have the chance to learn righteousness;Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1.2figurative · مجازhe fabricated speech, or a saying; he forged a saying, a lie, or a falsehood—خَلَقَ

also اختلق and تخلّق.

such a one related to us fictitious tales, pretty ones, or such as are told at night for entertainment—حَدَّثَنَا فُلَانٌ بِأَحَادِيثِ الخَلْقِ

So the Arabs say.

this is nothing but the lying and forging of the ancients—إِنْ هٰذَا إِلَّا خَلْقُ الأَوَّلِينَ

In the Kur 26. 137, according to one reading.

this is nothing but forging and lying—إِنْ هٰذَا إِلَّا ٱخْتِلَاقٌ

1.2she had a goodly body and make; she was, or became, goodly in make, well made—خَلُقَتْ

Said of a woman.

In the CK, instead of حَسُنَ خَلْقُهَا there is put حَسُنَ خُلُقُها, meaning she was, or became, good in nature.

1.2.1it (a thing) was, or became, smooth, and equable, or even—خَلِقَ

.

Also خَلُقَ [and خَلَاقَةٌ and perhaps خُلْقَةٌ, see below], in the same sense.

See also Form 12. It seems that one also says خَلِقَتِ الصَّخْرَةُ (see below), meaning the rock was free from crack or fracture.

1.2.2figurative · مجاز — inferredit (a garment) was, or became, old, and worn out—خَلُقَ

also خَلِقَ, and خَلَقَ, and [of the second] خَلَقٌ, and [of the third] خُلُوقٌ; also اخلق, maṣdar إِخْلَاقٌ and اخلولق.

his face became worn out—اخلق دِيبَاجُهُ

Meaning it became used for mean service, so that it lost its grace, or was disgraced, by his begging.

his youth declined, or departed—اخلق شَبَابَهُ
1.2.3he was, or became, adapted or disposed by nature, apt, meet, fit—خَلُقَ

maṣdar خَلاقَةٌ. He was, or became, خَلِيق, i. e. جَدِير [see خَلِيقٌ below].

he was, or became, adapted, or disposed, for that—خَلُقَ لذٰلِكَ

Also بِذٰلِكَ; as though he were one of those in whom that was reckoned to be, and in whom the signs or tokens of it were seen.

Also بِأَنْ يفعل ذلك, لِأَنْ يفعل ذلك, and مَنْ أَنْ يفعل ذلك in the same sense; see خَلِيقٌ.

خَلُقَ may also mean it was, or became, probable, or likely to happen or to have happened: see again خَلِيقٌ.

(K.) And خَلَقَ النَّعْلَ He determined the measure of the sandal, or proportioned it; ( قَدَّرَهَا ;) and made it by measure. (Ksh and Bd in ii. 19.) Hence the saying of Zuheyr, (S,) praising Herim Ibn-Sinán, (TA,) 1 In the preceding quotation, the final character of the first line and initial character of the second are missing in the original text.[ And thou indeed cuttest what thou hast measured; but some of the people measure, then will not cut]: (S, TA:) i. e., when thou determinest upon a thing thou executest it; but others determine upon that which they do not execute. (TA.) And El-Hajjáj said, مَا خَلَقْتُ إِلَّا قَرَيْتُ وَعَدْتُ إِلَّا وَفَيْتُ [ I have not measured unless I have afterwards cut, and I have not promised unless I have afterwards performed]. (S.) أَخْلُقُ لَكُمْ مِنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ , in the Kur iii. 43, means I will form for you, (Jel,) or I will make according to its proper measure ( أُقَدِّرُ ) for you, (Ksh, Bd,) and will form, (Bd,) of clay, a thing like the form of the bird, or of birds.

(TA.) As the act of God, it signifies The originating, or bringing into being or existence, anything, not after the similitude of anything pre-existing: (TA:) [and the creating a thing; and thus it is generally best rendered; as meaning the bringing into existence from a state of non-existence: for] خَلَقَ ٱللّٰهُ الشَّىْءَ , inf. n. خَلْقٌ , means God brought the thing into existence (Mgh, * TA) after it had not been: (TA:) [or خَلْقٌ , as the act of God, signifies the creating out of nothing: for it is said that] أُعْبُدُوا رَبَّكُمُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ , in the Kur ii. 19, means [Serve ye your Lord] who brought you into existence when ye were nothing. (Jel. [But in other passages of the Kur (vi. 2 &c.) it is said that God created ( خَلَقَ ) mankind of clay.]) Accord. to the A, خَلَقَ ٱللّٰهُ الخَلْقَ is a tropical phrase, meaning God brought into existence the creation, or created beings, or mankind, according to a predetermination ( تَقْدِير ) required by wisdom. (TA.) You say, هٰذِهِ خَلِيقَتُهُ الَّتِى خُلِقَ عَلَيْهَا and خُلِقَهَا and الَّتِى خُلِقَ : see خُلُقٌ . (Lh.)

(TA.) And it is said in the Kur [xxvi. 137], accord. to one reading, إِنْ هٰذَا إِلَّا خَلْقُ الأَوَّلِينَ , meaning This is nought but the lying, and forging, of the ancients. (TA.) And in the same [xxxviii. 6], إِنْ هٰذَا إِلَّا ٱخْتِلَاقٌ This is nought but forging, and lying.

Core sense — old, and worn out; an old, worn-out garment; smoothnessgenerated

1

maṣdar of خَلِقَ in that sense, meaning the being smooth.

In a rock, freedom from crack or fracture.

1.1

As a maṣdar also: the being old, and worn out.

1.2an old and worn-out garment, or piece of cloth—ثَوْبٌ خَلَقٌ

Used as an adjective: old, and worn out; and as an adjective in which the quality of a noun predominates, meaning an old and worn-out garment or piece of cloth. Plural خُلْقَانٌ and أَخْلَاقٌ.

As an adjective it is both masculine and feminine, because it is originally a maṣdar — the maṣdar of أَخْلَقُ meaning “smooth”, or rather of خَلِقَ meaning “it was, or became, old and worn out” — although it has plurals; and IB mentions an instance of its dual, خَلَقَانِ.

Ks says that they have not been heard to say خَلَقَةٌ in any instance. Fr says that it is without ة as a feminine adjective because it was originally used as a prefixed noun, for one said أَعْطِنِى خَلَقَ جُبَّتِكَ and خَلَقَ عِمَامَتِكَ [give me what is old and worn out of your جبّة and of your turban]; but Ez-Zejjájee says that this is worthless.

an old and worn-out outer wrapping garment—مِلْحَفَةٌ خَلَقٌ
an old and worn-out piece of rope—رُمَّةٌ خَلَقٌ
an old and decayed house—دَارٌ خَلَقٌ
an old and wasted body—جِسْمٌ خَلَقٌ
a garment, or piece of cloth, wholly old and worn out—ثَوْبٌ أَخْلَاقٌ

Every portion of it being خَلَق, as they said بُرْمَةٌ أَعْشَارٌ and the like; and in the same way مُلَآءَةٌ أَخْلَاقٌ.

their garments became old and worn out, and their worn-out garments were replaced by new—أَصْبَحَتْ ثِيَابُهُمْ خُلْقَانًا وَ خَلَقُهُمْ جُدُدًا

Mentioned by Ks, with the singular in the latter clause in place of the plural خُلْقَان; or جُدُدًا may here be put for جَدِيدًا. See art. جد.

an outer wrapping garment that is somewhat old and worn out—مِلْحَفَةٌ خُلَيْقٌ

The diminutive is without ة because it is the diminutive of an adjective applied without ة to a feminine noun, and ة is not affixed to the diminutives of such adjectives; it is like نُصَيُفٌ, the diminutive of نَصَفٌ, an adjective applied to a woman. Some of the grammarians consider these instances irregular.

1.3he bought it, or sold it, as cheaply as one buys an old and worn-out garment—بَاعَهُ بِيعَةَ الخَلَقِ

Also بَيْعَ ذِى الخَلَقِ, as used by a poet; we say “dog-cheap” or “cheap as dirt”. Both phrases are mentioned, but not explained, by IAar, who cites:

shāhid
أَبْلِغْ فَزَارَةَ أَنِّى قَدْ شَرَيْتُ لَهَامَجْدَ الحَيَاةِ بِسَيْفِى بَيْعَ ذِى الخَلَقِ

Core sense — a nature, a natural disposition; moral character; custom, habitgenerated

1nothing is heavier in the balance than goodness of the moral character—لَيْسَ شَىْءٌ فِى المِيزَانِ أَثْقَلَ مِنْ حُسْنِ الخُلُقِ

Also خُلْقٌ: a nature; a natural, native, or innate disposition or temper; synonymous with سَجِيَّةٌ and طَبْعٌ, of which one is created. خِلْقَةٌ means the same, i. e. the فِطْرَةٌ of which a man is created, like [خُلُقٌ and] خُلْقٌ; in the CK, wrongly, خَلْق. خَلِيقَةٌ likewise means the طَبِيعَة with which a man is created.

The proper meaning of خُلُقٌ is the moral character, the fashion of the inner man — his mind, or soul, and its qualities and attributes — just as خَلْقٌ means the fashion of the outer man and its qualities and attributes. It also means custom or habit, as being a second nature; and, like خُلْقٌ, which is merely a contraction of it and identical with it in all its senses, manliness, synonymous with مُرُوْءَةٌ, and religion.

The plural is أَخْلَاقٌ only; it is often used for morals, and for ethics. The plural of خَلِيقَةٌ in the sense explained above [said in Har p. 193 to be that of خُلُقٌ] is خَلَائِقٌ.

this is his nature, of which he was created—عَلَيْهَا خُلِقَ الَّتِى خَلِيقَتُهُ هٰذِهِ

In a tradition; the balance is that in which good and evil will be weighed.

Also خُلِقَهَا and الَّتِى خُلِقَ.

he is indeed generous in respect of nature—إِنَّهُ لَكَرِيمُ الخَلِيقَةِ
that became to him a second nature, a habit, a thing he was used to—صَارَ ذٰلِكَ لَهُ خُلُقًا
this is nothing but a custom of the ancients—إِنْ هٰذَا إِلَّا خُلُقُ الأَوَّلِينَ

In the Kur 26. 137.

what he clung to was the Kur-án—كَانَ خُلُقُهُ القَرْآنَ

1.1the sleep of midday, which was prescribed by the Prophet—نَوْمَةُ الخُلقِ

As for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah and their own plighted word for a small price, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter: Nor will Allah (Deign to) speak to them or look at them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He cleans them (of sin): They shall have a grievous penalty.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُم مَّنَـٰسِكَكُمْ فَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ ءَابَآءَكُمْ أَوْ أَشَدَّ ذِكْرًا ۗ فَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَا لَهُۥ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَـٰقٍ

So when ye have accomplished your holy rites, celebrate the praises of Allah, as ye used to celebrate the praises of your fathers,- yea, with far more Heart and soul. There are men who say: "Our Lord! Give us (Thy bounties) in this world!" but they will have no portion in the Hereafter.

A certain kind of perfume; also called خِلَاقٌ.

According to some of the lawyers, fluid, but of thick consistence, and containing a yellowness. It is composed of saffron and other things, redness and yellowness being predominant in it. It is forbidden to men, because it is one of the perfumes of women, who use it more than men do.

Nounخَلِيقٌ4 senses · 1 main

Core sense — perfect, or complete, in make; adapted or disposed by nature, fit, worthygenerated

1anything just in proportion—مُخْتَلَقٌ

Applied to a man: perfect, or complete, in make; as also مُخْتَلَقٌ, which also means perfect in make and just in proportion; in the CK, wrongly, مُخْتَلِق, though the TA says expressly that it is of the passive form. The feminine is formed with ة. Or both mean goodly, or beautiful, in make; or the first is not applied to a man, but each, with ة, means a woman having a goodly body and make (the TA calls this a figurative use).

According to Lh, خَلِيقٌ and خَلِيقَةٌ are alike in this last sense; or the first of them may be the plural, or collective noun, of the other, as شَعِيرٌ is of شَعِيرَةٌ.

perfect, or complete, in make—مُخَلَّقٌ

Applied to a camel; or جمل here may be a mistranscription for حَمْل, since مُضْغَةٌ مُخَلَّقَةٌ means a fœtus, when it has become like a lump of flesh, perfect or complete in make — so in the Kur 22. 5 — or of which the make has become apparent.

O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much), and (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1such a one is adapted, or disposed by nature, for such a thing—فُلَانٌ خَلِيقٌ لِكَذَا

Also: adapted or disposed by nature, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, proper, competent, or worthy; synonymous with جَدِيرٌ and حَرِىٌّ [and حَقِيقٌ, etc.; plural خُلَقَآءُ, and Freytag adds خُلُقٌ].

That is, جَدِيرٌ بِهِ; as though he were one of those in whom that was reckoned to be, and in whom the signs or tokens of it were seen.

he is disposed by nature to good; to be, or do, or produce what is good—هُوَ خَلِيقٌ لِلْخَيْرِ
he is indeed adapted, or disposed, for doing that, or worthy to do it—إِنَّهُ لَخَلِيقٌ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ

Also بِأَنْ يفعل ذلك, لِأَنْ يفعل ذلك, and منْ أَنْ يفعل ذلك; so says Lh. He adds that the Arabs say يَا خَلِيقُ بِذٰلِكَ, using the nominative, and يَا خَلِيقًا بِذٰلِكَ, using the accusative, the latter being the usual form, both meaning: you who are adapted or disposed for that; but ISd says that he does not know the reason of this.

this is one that is adapted, or disposed, for that—هٰذَا مَخْلَقَةٌ لِذَاكَ

That is, مَجْدَرَةٌ لَهُ.

this affair, or thing, is one that is adapted for you—هٰذَا الأَمْرُ مَخْلَقَةٌ لَكَ
it is indeed adapted for that—إِنَّهُ مَخْلَقَةٌ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ

Like مَجْدَرَةٌ, مَحْرَاةٌ, and مَقْمَنَةٌ; and in the same way one says of two, of more than two, and of a feminine; so says Lh.

مَخْلَقَةٌ properly means a place, and hence a thing, an affair, or a person, adapted or disposed; it is of the same class as مَعْسَاةٌ, مَظِنَّةٌ, and مَئِنَّةٌ.

habituated, or accustomed—خَلِيقٌ
it is indeed probable, or likely to happen or to have happened—إِنَّهُ لَخَلِيقٌ

That is, لَحَرِىٌّ.

he, or it, is like him, or it—هُوَ خَلِيقٌ لَهُ
