Translation
(27) [O Men!] Are you more difficult to create than the heaven which He has built, (28) by raising its vault high and fashioning it flawlessly, (29) and making its night dark and bringing forth its morning light, (30) and the earth which He spread out, (31) after that bringing forth from it its water and its pasture land, (32) and making the mountains firm: (33) [all this] as a means of sustenance for you and your animals?
Commentary
(a) The magnificent phenomenon before us in the shape of the universe is so great that all other things are small in comparison to it. So, in the world when the occurrence of a big event is possible, why should the occurrence of a small event not be possible? There are already many factors in existence on a large scale which explain the Quran’s declaration that man shall one Day have to face resurrection.
