۞ أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ قَادِرٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ أَجَلًۭا لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهِ فَأَبَى ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِلَّا كُفُورًۭا

سُورَةُ الإِسۡرَاءِ
English — Sahih International
Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and earth, is [the one] Able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse [anything] except disbelief.
اردو — مودودی
کیا ان کو یہ نہ سوجھا کہ جس خدا نے زمین اور آسمانو ں کو پیدا کیا ہے وہ اِن جیسوں کو پیدا کرنے کی ضرور قدرت رکھتا ہے؟ اس نے اِن کے حشر کے لیے ایک وقت مقرر کر رکھا ہے جس کا آنا یقینی ہے، مگر ظالموں کو اصرار ہے کہ وہ اس کا انکار ہی کریں گے
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Dan apakah mereka tidak memperhatikan bahwasanya Allah yang menciptakan langit dan bumi adalah kuasa (pula) menciptakan yang serupa dengan mereka, dan telah menetapkan waktu yang tertentu bagi mereka yang tidak ada keraguan padanya? Maka orang-orang zalim itu tidak menghendaki kecuali kekafiran.
Ibn Kathir
Allah says: ` This punishment, being resurrected blind, dumb and deaf, is what they deserve, because they disbelieved
بِـَايَـتِنَآ
(Our Ayat), i.e., Our proof and evidence, and did not think that the resurrection could ever happen.'
وَقَالُواْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـماً وَرُفَـتاً
(and said: "When we are bones and fragments...") meaning, when we have disintegrated and our bodies have rotted away,
أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ خَلْقاً جَدِيداً
(shall we really be raised up as a new creation) meaning, after we have disintegrated and disappeared and been absorbed into the earth, will we come back a second time Allah established proof against them and told them that He is able to do that, for He created the heavens and the earth, so raising them up again is easier for Him than that, as He says:
لَخَلْقُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ أَكْـبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ
(The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind;) 40:57
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَلَمْ يَعْىَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْىِ الْمَوْتَى
(Do they not see that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and was not wearied by their creation, is able to give life to the dead) 46: 33
أَوَلَـيْسَ الَذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَـوتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ بِقَـدِرٍ عَلَى أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم بَلَى وَهُوَ الْخَلَّـقُ الْعَلِيمُ - إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيْئاً أَن يَقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ
(Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth, able to create the like of them Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. Verily, His command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is!) (36:81-82) And Allah says here:
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ
(See they not that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, is able to create the like of them.) meaning, on the Day of Resurrection, He will recreate and restore their bodies, as He created them in the first place.
وَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ أَجَلاً لاَّ رَيْبَ فِيهِ
(And He has decreed for them an appointed term, whereof there is no doubt.) means, He has set a time for them to be re-created and brought forth from their graves, an appointed time which must surely come to pass. As Allah says:
وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهُ إِلاَّ لاًّجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ
(And We delay it only for a term (already) fixed.) (11:104)
فَأَبَى الظَّـلِمُونَ
(But the wrongdoers refuse) -- after the proof has been established against them,
إِلاَّ كُفُورًا
((and accept nothing) but disbelief.) means, they persist in their falsehood and misguidance.
المُيَسَّر
أَغَفَل هؤلاء المشركون، فلم يتبصروا ويعلموا أن الله الذي خلق السموات والأرض وما فيهن من المخلوقات على غير مثال سابق، قادر على أن يخلق أمثالهم بعد فنائهم؟ وقد جعل الله لهؤلاء المشركين وقتًا محددًا لموتهم وعذابهم، لا شك أنه آتيهم، ومع وضوح الحق ودلائله أبى الكافرون إلا جحودًا لدين الله عزَّ وجلَّ.
