According to Dr Sharib:
'Al-Musawwir is the One Whose arranging of the forms of things in the
best possible order cannot be questioned.'
Emulation of the name implies acquiring the spirit of self-control and
self-discipline.
Invocation is the same as in Al-Bari - the two being recited together.
see 'The 99 Most Beautiful Names of Allah' by Dr Zahurul Hassan Sharib
Some other references:
Al-Ghazali refers to the complex and astonishingly beautiful organisation
of constituent parts of the universe with their complete dependence on
an underlying order that is found both in the cosmic universe and each
atom or microscopic element.
Man's part in this, he says, lies in acquiring in his soul not only
knowledge of the whole and the minutiae of the parts of the physical
universe but in knowing generically, and in detail, the arrangements of
spiritual universe - things such as the role and rank of the different
angels.
The knowledge which God has of the form of all things in every detail is
the cause of the cognitive forms that exist and can be realised within
man's heart.
(Al-Ghazali - The Ninety-nine Beautiful Names of God. Trans. Burrel/Daher: ITS: 1992.)
Ibn 'Ata' Allah (d 1309)
The divine name 'the Shaper' (al-Musawwir) is one of the dhikrs of
devotees.
Quoted from the Shambala guide to Sufism. C. Ernst. 1997.
Some persons seek scientific and rational explanation for everything -
using only the validated methods of measurement available to the
physical sciences.
When their increasingly sophisticated tools reveal only newer and
deeper layers of an inherent order in the physical universe then they find
themselves at one with the man on the street who may not have a
theology or a science to rely on but who, so to speak, knows intuitively
order and beauty when he sees it.
