The Holy Quran 30:27 — Surah Ar-Rum

Arabic text

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ ۚ وَلَهُ ٱلْمَثَلُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ

Translation

It is He Who originated (commenced the) creation and will repeat (the act of creation), which (judging in terms of human experience) will be easier for Him (because people generally find it easier to do something they have done before). His is the Highest glory in the heavens and the earth (because Only He deserves to be worshipped), and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

How strange, then, to accept that He is capable of the first creation and to regard creating a second time as improbable!
