The Holy Quran 37:11 — Surah As-Saffat

Arabic text

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍۭ

Translation

(If the Kuffaar claim that We cannot resurrect people on the Day of Qiyaamah,) Ask them whether their creating them was more difficult than the other things We created. (When We were able to create great creations, bringing man back will be extremely simple). Verily, We created them (their forefather Aadam عليه الصلاة والسلام) from sticky (clinging) clay (which is a weak and easily pliable substance when compared to what Allaah used to create His other creation with).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

A refutation of those who deny the resurrection: that is, ask those who deny the resurrection whether, in their view, creating such creations as the heavens, the earth, the stars, the angels, the devils and the rest is the harder task, or creating them themselves — and that too after they have already been created once.
