Tafseer Ibn Kathir

Allah points out His great Might and Power in that He created the Seven Heavens with all their stars and planets, and the Seven Earths with everything in them.

He tells us to find the proof that He will recreate our bodies in His creation of these mighty things.

This is like the Ayah;

لَخَلْقُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ أَكْـبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ

The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind. (40;57)

And Allah says here;

أَوَلَيْسَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم



Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth, able to create the like of them!

meaning, the like of mankind. So, He will recreate them as He created them in the first place.

Ibn Jarir said,

"This Ayah is like the Ayah;

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَلَمْ يَعْىَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْىِ الْمَوْتَى بَلَى إِنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Do they not see that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and was not wearied by their creation, is able to give life to the dead! Yes, He surely is able to do all things. (46;33)"

And Allah says here;

بَلَى وَهُوَ الْخَلَّقُ الْعَلِيمُ



إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْيًا أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ
