The Holy Quran 17:99 — Surah Al-Isra

Arabic text

۞ أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ قَادِرٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ أَجَلًا لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهِ فَأَبَى ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ إِلَّا كُفُورًا

Translation

Do they not see that the same Allaah Who created the heavens and the earth is capable of creating the likes of them (who are much smaller than the heavens and earth)? He has appointed for them a term (their deaths and Qiyaamah) about which there is no doubt. The oppressors (Kuffaar) refuse to do anything but commit kufr (thereby continuously showing ingratitude to Allaah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Proofs of life after death: that is, for Him who created such enormous bodies, how is it difficult to create so small a thing as you? لَخَلْقُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ اَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ “The creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind” (Surah Ghafir (Al-Mu'min), ruku' (section) 6).
