Al-Mubdiʾ ٱلْمُبْدِئ
The Originator: the One who begins creation from nothing.

Why Allah uses this name
The Qurʾān argues the resurrection from this very attribute: the One who began it can repeat it, and repeating is easier by the measure people themselves use.
Take this with you
Doubt about being raised again is answered by looking at how you came the first time.
'It is He who begins (yabdaʾu) creation and then repeats it, and that is easier for Him' (30:27).
Qurʾān 30:27; the name itself listed in Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3507 (the enumeration of the ninety-nine names)
Where it appears in the Qur'an
This name is reported in the list of ninety-nine, but the Qur'an says it as a verb or a phrase rather than as this single word, so there is no word-for-word occurrence to list. The reasoning above cites the āyāt it is taken from.
