Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
If He wills He could do away with you -people- and replace you with a new creation
Quran 35:16 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Mankind is in need of Allah, and each Person will carry His own Burdens on the Day of Resurrection
Allah tells us that He has no need of anyone or anything else, but all of creation is in need of Him and is in a position of humility before Him.
He says:
يأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَنتُمُ الْفُقَرَآءُ إِلَى اللَّهِ
( O mankind! it is you who stand in need of Allah. ) meaning, they need Him in all that they do, but He has no need of them at all.
Allah says:
وَاللَّهُ هُوَ الْغَنِىُّ الْحَمِيدُ
But Allah is the Rich, Worthy of all praise.
meaning, He is unique in His being Free of all needs, and has no partner or associate, and He is Worthy of all praise in all that He does, says, decrees and legislates.
إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُـمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ
( If He willed, He could destroy you and bring about a new creation. ) means, if He wanted to, He could destroy you and bring forth another people, and this is not difficult or impossible for Him.
He says:
وَمَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ
( And that is not hard for Allah. ) Allah's saying:
وَلاَ تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى
( And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden; ) means, on the Day of Resurrection.
وَإِن تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ إِلَى حِمْلِهَا
( and if one heavily laden calls another to (bear ) his load, ) means, if the person who is carrying a heavy burden calls someone else to help him carry his load, all or part of it,
لاَ يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَى
( nothing of it will be lifted even though he be near of kin. ) means, even if he is closely-related to him, even if he is his father or son, for each person will be preoccupied with his own self and his own situation.
Then Allah says:
إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلَوةَ
( You can warn only those who fear their Lord unseen and perform the Salah. ) means, `the only ones who will draw a lesson from what you have brought are those who are possessed of insight and wisdom, who fear their Lord and who do as He commands.'
وَمَن تَزَكَّى فَإِنَّمَا يَتَزَكَّى لِنَفْسِهِ
( And he who purifies himself, then he purifies only for the benefit of himself. ) means, who does righteous deeds, the benefit of that will come back to him,
وَإِلَى اللَّهِ الْمَصِيرُ
And to Allah is the Return.
means, to Him everything will ultimately return, and He is swift in bringing to account.
He will reward or punish everyone according to his deeds: if they are good, then the end will be good, and if they are bad, then the end will be bad.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( If He will, He can be rid of you ) He can destroy you, O people of Mecca ( and bring (instead of you ) some new creation) who are better and more obedient than you.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
If He will, He could destroy you and bring about a new creation.
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
