Tafsir of Qaf 50:15

أفعيينا بالخلق اﻻول

Were We then tired with the first creation? meaning, `did starting the creation bring fatigue to Us, so as to cause doubt in them that repeating the creation was not possible?'

بل هم في لبس من خلق جديد

Nay, they are in confused doubt about a new creation. meaning, `starting the creation did not tire Us, and repeating it is even easier.' Allah the Exalted and Most Honored said,

وهو الذى يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده وهو أهون عليه

And He it is Who originates the creation, then He will repeat it; and this is easier for Him. (30:27), and,

وضرب لنا مثﻼ ونسى خلقه قال من يحى العظم وهى رميم

قل يحييها الذى أنشٲها أول مرة وهو بكل خلق عليم

And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones after they are rotten and have become dust'' Say: "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time! And He is the All-Knower of every creation!'' (36:78-79) We mentioned earlier a Hadith collected in the Sahih,

يقول الله تعالى يوذيني ابن آدم يقول لن يعيدني كما بدأني وليس أول الخلق بٲهون علي من إعادته

Allah the Exalted said, "Son of `Adam insults Me when he says, `He will not resurrect me as He created me before!' But surely, originating creation is not easier for Me than reproducing it again.''
