Surah Luqman — Ayah 28 (31:28)

Luqman · Makkah · Juz 21 · Mushaf page 413 of 604

مَّا خَلۡقُكُمۡ وَلَا بَعۡثُكُمۡ إِلَّا كَنَفۡسٖ وَٰحِدَةٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٌ ٢٨

English translation (Saheeh International)

Your creation and your resurrection will not be but as that of a single soul.1 Indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Seeing.

  1. - The re-creation and resurrection of one or of all is accomplished with equal ease by Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā).

Brief commentary

O people! Your creation and your resurrection for accountability and requital on the Day of Judgement, is as easy as creating and resurrecting just one soul. Indeed, Allah hears everything, hearing one sound does not preoccupy Him from hearing another; He also sees everything, seeing one thing does not preoccupy Him from hearing another either. And likewise, creating something and resurrecting it does not preoccupy Him from creating and resurrecting another.
