إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Inna rabbaka huwa alkhall a qu alAAaleem u
verily, thy Sustainer is the all-knowing Creator of all things!61
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., "He has created all human beings with full knowledge of their natural differentiation and the disparity in their respective conditions" (Razi) - and this, of course, includes their failings and errors. (Cf. 7:199 - "Make due allowance for man's nature" - and the corresponding note [162].)

Surely your Rabb is the All-Knowing Creator.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Surely your Lord is the Master Creator, All-Knowing.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Lo! Thy Lord! He is the All Wise Creator.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
For verily it is thy Lord Who is the Master-Creator knowing all things. 2007
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Khallaq: the emphatic intensive form, as meaning the Creator, Who is perfect in His skill and knowledge, and Whose creation answers perfectly to His design. Therefore no one should think that anything has gone wrong in Allah's creation. What may seem out of joint is merely the result of our short-sighted standards. It often happens that what appears to us to be evil or imperfect or unjust is a reflection of our own imperfect minds. See the next two verses and notes.
