The Holy Quran 31:28 — Surah Luqman

Arabic text

مَّا خَلْقُكُمْ وَلَا بَعْثُكُمْ إِلَّا كَنَفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌۢ بَصِيرٌ

Translation

(O mankind! To Allaah) Your creation and resurrection is like (is as simple as creating and resurrecting) a single soul (because either task requires absolutely no effort from Allaah). Without doubt Allaah is All Hearing, All Seeing (just as Allaah Sees and Hears everything at the same time, He can resurrect all of creation at the same time).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The will and power of Allah: that is, creating the whole world and creating one human being are both equal for Almighty Allah. Neither does the one take any time, nor the other any effort. With a single “Be!” He does whatever He wills, and He is not dependent even on saying the word “Be!”.
