The Holy Quran 2:29 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَسَوَّىٰهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍ ۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

Translation

(If you require evidence to prove that Allaah can resurrect the dead, take note that) It is He Who created for you whatever is on earth (as well as the earth itself). Thereafter He turned His attention to the sky and perfected it as seven skies (creating things there for man's benefit). He has knowledge of all things. (It is therefore foolish to believe that a Being Who can create such great things is unable to bring mankind back to life after they have all died.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

In this ayah a second blessing is mentioned: that is, Allah created you and, for your survival and benefit, created on earth all kinds of things in abundance (food, drink, clothing, and the tools and provisions for every need); after that the many heavens were made, in which there are all kinds of benefits for you.
