Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Ar-Rum 30:27

Word by word

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ ۚ وَلَهُ ٱلْمَثَلُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ

And it is He who begins creation; then He repeats it, and that is [even] easier for Him. To Him belongs the highest description [i.e., attribute] in the heavens and earth. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

والله وحده الذي يبدأ الخلق من العدم ثم يعيده حيًا بعد الموت، وإعادة الخلق حيًا بعد الموت أهون على الله من ابتداء خلقهم، وكلاهما عليه هيِّن. وله سبحانه الوصف الأعلى في كل ما يوصف به، ليس كمثله شيء، وهو السميع البصير. وهو العزيز الذي لا يغالَب، الحكيم في أقواله وأفعاله، وتدبير أمور خلقه.
