Vertaling van de betekenissen Vers 40 Surah Soerat De bij (an-Nahl) - Engelse Vertaling - Dr. Walid Bleyhesh Al-Omari - The Heilige Qur'an Encyclopedie

Vers: 40

إِنَّمَا قَوۡلُنَا لِشَيۡءٍ إِذَآ أَرَدۡنَٰهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

(40) Our Saying to anything We want is only: “Be!” and it is!^[3287]

[3287] God’s Absolute Power is highlighted here. The realization of His Will and His Ability to create are carried out by this two-lettered command, (Be!) (cf. 3: 47 and 59, 19: 34-35, 36: 81-82). People’s lack of knowledge of the extent of His Power fooled them into believing in the impossibility of resurrection (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr).
