Creating the Heavens and the Earth is more difficult than repeating Creation in refutation of the claim rejecting resurrection due to the renewal of creation after its original state, Allah says; ءَأَنتُمْ ( Are you ) `O people' أَشَدُّ خَلْقاً أَمِ السَّمَآءُ ( more difficult to create or is the heaven... ) meaning, `rather the heaven is more difficult to create than you.' As Allah said; لَخَلْقُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ أَكْـبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ ( the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind; ) ( 40:57 ) And His saying; أَوَلَـيْسَ الَذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَـوتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ بِقَـدِرٍ عَلَى أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم بَلَى وَهُوَ الْخَلَّـقُ الْعَلِيمُ ( Is not the One Who created the heavens and the earth, capable of creating the similar to them.
Yes, indeed! He is the Supreme Creator, the All-Knowing. ) ( 36:81 ) Then Allah says, بَنَـهَا ( He constructed ) He explains this by His statement, رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا ( He raised its height, and has perfected it. ) meaning, He made it a lofty structure, vast in its space, with equal sides, and adorned with stars at night and in the darkness.
Then Allah says, وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَـهَا ( Its night He covers and He brings out its forenoon. ) meaning, He made its night dark and extremely black, and its day bright, luminous, shining and clear.
Ibn `Abbas said, "He did Aghtasha of its night means that He made it dark." Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr and a large group have said this as well.
In reference to Allah's statement, وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَـهَا ( And He brings out its forenoon. ) meaning, He illuminated its day.
Then Allah says, وَالاٌّرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَحَـهَا ( And after that He spread the earth, ) He explains this statement by the statement that follows it, أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَـهَا ( And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture. ) It already has been mentioned previously in Surat Ha Mim As-Sajdah that the earth was created before the heaven was created, but it was only spread out after the creation of the heaven.
This means that He brought out what was in it with a forceful action.
This is the meaning of what was said by Ibn `Abbas and others, and it was the explanation preferred by Ibn Jarir.
In reference to the statement of Allah, وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَـهَا ( And the mountains He has fixed firmly, ) meaning, He settled them, made them firm, and established them in their places.
And He is the Most Wise, the All-Knowing.
He is Most Kind to His creation, Most Merciful.
Allah then says, مَتَـعاً لَّكُمْ وَلاًّنْعَـمِكُمْ ( As provision and benefit for you and your cattle. ) meaning, He spread out the earth, caused its springs to gush forth, brought forth its hidden benefits, caused its rivers to flow, and caused its vegetation, trees, and fruits to grow.
He also made its mountains firm so that it ( the earth ) would be calmly settled with its dwellers, and He stabilized its dwelling places.
All of this is a means of beneficial enjoyment for His creatures ( mankind ) providing them of what cattle they need, which they eat and ride upon.
He has granted them these beneficial things for the period that they need them, in this worldly abode, until the end of time and the expiration of this life.

(79:33) all this as provision for you and your cattle. *18

As provision for you and your grazing meaning

*18) In these verses arguments have been given for the Resurrection and life after death from two aspects: first, that it is not at all difficult to establish these for the power of that God Who has made this vast and huge universe with such wonderful balance and this earth with such provisions.
Second, that the pointers to the perfect wisdom of Allah which are clearly visible in the universe and the earth, point out that nothing is happening here purposelessly.
The balance that exists between countless of the stars and planets and galaxies in the heavens testifies that all this has not happened haphazardly but there is a well thought-out plan working behind it.
The regular alternation of the night and day is an evidence that this system has been established with supreme wisdom and knowledge for making the earth a home and place of settlement.
On this very earth are found regions where the alternation of the night and day takes place within 24 hours and also those regions where there are longer days and longer nights.
A very large part of the earth's population lives in the first kind of the regions.
Then as the days and nights go on becoming longer and longer, life goes on becoming harder and harder and population thinner and thinner.
So much so that the regions where there are six-month-long days and six-month-long nights, are not at all fit for human settlement.
Arranging both these types of the land on this very earth Allah has provided the evidence that this regular order of the alternation of night and day has not come about accidentally but has been brought about with great wisdom precisely in accordance with a scheme to make the earth a place fit for human settlement.
Likewise, spreading out the earth so that it becomes a fit place to live in, providing in it that water which should be palatable for man and animal and a cause of growth for vegetation, setting in it mountains and creating all those things which may become a means of life for both man and animal- all these are a manifest sign that they are not chance happenings of the purposeless works of a care-free person but each one of these has been arranged purposefully by a Supreme, Wise Being.
Now every sensible and intelligent man can consider for himself whether the necessity and occurrence of the Hereafter is the requirement of wisdom or its negation.
The person who in spite of seeing all this says that there is no Hereafter, in fact, says that everything in the universe is happening wisely and purposefully, but only the creation of man on the earth as a being endowed with sense and power is meaningless and foolish.
For there could be nothing more purposeless than delegating to man vast powers of appropriation in the earth and providing him an opportunity to do good as well as evil deeds but then failing to ever subject him to accountability.
