Thank you for your suggestion Vinny.
Al-jawad means the one who gives generously.
This sentence could clear its meaning " كان حاتم الطائيُّ رجلاً جوّادًا". Hatem Al Tai' was the example of
al-jud.
I think you confused it with the word "إيجاد" which means bringing things to existence.
The word "الخالق" means the one who provides existence.

A wise man was asked (,) "Who is the generous one?" He answered, "He whose generosity is neither for repelling hostilities / dangers nor the seeking of prizes."
I thought al-Jawad means the one who provides existence (al-Jud), no?
