Tafsir Ibn Kathir on An-Nazi'at 79:27

Surah An-Nazi'at 79:27



ﱳ ﱴ ﱵ ﱶ ﱷ ﱸ ﱹ

Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.

Creating the Heavens and the Earth is more difficult than repeating Creation In refutation of the claim rejecting resurrection due to the renewal of creation after its original state, Allah says;

أأنتم

Are you `O people'

أشد خلقا أم السماء

more difficult to create or is the heaven... meaning, `rather the heaven is more difficult to create than you.' As Allah said;

لخلق السموت واﻻرض أكبر من خلق الناس

the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind; (40:57) And His saying;

أوليس الذى خلق السموت واﻻرض بقدر على أن يخلق مثلهم

بلى وهو الخلق العليم

Is not the One Who created the heavens and the earth, capable of creating the similar to them. Yes, indeed! He is the Supreme Creator, the All-Knowing. (36:81) Then Allah says,

بناها

He constructed, He explains this by His statement,

رفع سمكها فسواها
