From Creating Life from Nothing

الحمد لله الذي يمهل ولا يخاف فواتا،

Praise be to Allah, who gives respite and does not fear what is missed,

الَّذِي the one who

This is a relative pronoun, 'who / the one who', opening a clause that describes Allah and ties back to the name just stated. Arabic uses it to hang a whole describing sentence onto a definite noun, so what follows is the description, not a fresh statement.

الذي قال للكون كن فواتى،

Who said to the universe, "Be," and it came into existence,

الَّذِي the one who

This is a relative pronoun, 'who / the one who', opening a further clause about Allah and tying back to the name. Arabic attaches a whole describing sentence to a definite noun with this word, so everything after it continues the description.
