Saheeh International

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

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

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;أَأَنتُمْAre you `O people'أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءmore difficult to create or is the heaven...meaning, `rather the heaven is more difficult to create than you.'As Allah said;لَخَلْقُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ أَكْـبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِthe creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind; (40:57)And His saying;أَوَلَـيْسَ الَذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَـوتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ بِقَـدِرٍ عَلَى أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمبَلَى وَهُوَ الْخَلَّـقُ الْعَلِيمُIs 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,بَنَاهَاHe constructed,He explains this by His statement,رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا
