An-Nazi'at 79:29

<h2>Creating the Heavens and the Earth is more difficult than repeating Creation</h2><p>in refutation of the claim rejecting resurrection due to the renewal of creation after its original state, Allah says;</p><div class="arabic uthmani">ءَأَنتُمْ</div><p>(Are you) `O people'</p><div class="arabic uthmani">أَشَدُّ خَلْقاً أَمِ السَّمَآءُ</div><p>(more difficult to create or is the heaven...) meaning, `rather the heaven is more difficult to create than you.' As Allah said;</p><div class="arabic uthmani">لَخَلْقُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ أَكْـبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ</div><p>(the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind;) (40:57) And His saying;</p><div class="arabic uthmani">أَوَلَـيْسَ الَذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَـوتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ بِقَـدِرٍ عَلَى أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم بَلَى وَهُوَ الْخَلَّـقُ الْعَلِيمُ </div><p>(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,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">بَنَـهَا</div><p>(He constructed) He explains this by His statement,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا </div><p>(He raised its height, and has perfected it.) meaning, He made it a lofty structure, vast in its space, with equal sides, and adorned with stars at night and in the darkness. Then Allah says,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَـهَا </div><p>(Its night He covers and He brings out its forenoon.) meaning, He made its …

And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.

Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).

Its night He covers with darkness, and its forenoon He brings out (with light).

And He dimmed its night, and brought out its daylight.
