Tafsir jalalayn
Nay! -- meant to thwart their hopes of [entering] Paradise. Indeed We created them, as others, from what they know, from drops of sperm, and so one cannot hope for Paradise [merely] on account of this; one hopes for it by being God-fearing.
Tafseer Ibn Kathir
كَلَّ
Does every man of them hope to enter the Paradise of Delight?
But no!
meaning, is this their wish, yet they flee from the Messenger in aversion to the truth. Are they hoping that they will be admitted into the Gardens of Delight? Nay, rather their abode is Hell.
Then Allah affirms the occurrence of the Final Abode and the torment that will befall them that they are denying its existence and claiming it to be something farfetched. As a proof against them, Allah mentions the initiation of creation, and that repeating the process is something easier than performing it the first time. This is something that they themselves confess to. Allah says,
إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ
Verily, We have created them out of that which they know!
meaning, from despised semen.
This is as Allah says,
أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّأءٍ مَّهِينٍ
Did We not create you from a despised water (semen) (77;20)
Allah also says,
فَلْيَنظُرِ الاِنسَـنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
خُلِقَ مِن مَّأءٍ دَافِقٍ
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَايِبِ
إِنَّهُ عَلَى رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَايِرُ
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
So let man see from what he is created!
He is created from a water gushing forth. Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs.
Verily He is able to bring him back! The Day when all the secrets will be examined. Then he will have no power, nor any helper. (86;5-10)
Then Allah says
