How to use it
The primary meaning of 'creator' in Arabic is 'Khaliq' (خَالِق), which is specifically used for God as the divine creator of the universe. When referring to a human creator, such as an artist or inventor, other words like 'mubtakir' (مُبْتَكِر - innovator) or 'mu'assis' (مُؤَسِّس - founder) might be more appropriate depending on the context.

Questions and answers
Is 'Khaliq' only used for God?
Primarily, yes. While technically it means 'creator', its strong association with divinity means it's almost exclusively used for God. For human creators, we use other terms.
What's a good word for a human creator, like an artist?
You could use 'mubdi'' (مُبْدِع) which means 'creative person' or 'artist', or 'mubtakir' (مُبْتَكِر) for someone who innovates.
