القرآن الكريم

The Holy Quran 16:40 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

إِنَّمَا قَوْلُنَا لِشَىْءٍ إِذَآ أَرَدْنَـٰهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

Translation

(Resurrection and all other matters are extremely simple for Us because) When We intend anything, all We have to do is say, "Be!" and it becomes (whatever We had intended it to be).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

So what difficulty is there in bringing the dead back to life? Note: the discussion of كُنْ فَيَكُوْنُ (“Be!” — and it is) should be consulted in the juz' (part of the Quran) “Alif Lam Mim”, in the ruku' (section) وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُوْدُ (“And the Jews said…”) and so on.
