Neither Allah, Yahweh or Elohim are given credit in their respective holy books for creating the universe. The writers of these books describe the earth and sky as it appears to the naked eye. They did not even know there was such a thing as a universe.
I'd like to study the etymology of the word "universe" and see when humans first started referring to the cosmos as such. My guess is it's only been less than 1000 years.
Hebrews 11:3
"By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible."

Is that not what jesus professed that one should do?
Nope.
