Surah TaHa ayat 55 Tafsir Quran 20:55

﴿۞ مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ﴾
[ طه: 55]

20:55 From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.

From it that is from the earth We created you by creating your father Adam from it and into it We shall restore you when you are interred after death and from it We shall bring you forth at the Resurrection a second time’ in the same way that We brought you forth from it when We initiated your creation.

From the earth We created you and back to it We will bring you -at death-, and out of it will We bring you again -in Day of Judgement

The Completion of Musa's Reply to Fir`awn This is from the completion of Musa's speech concerning the description of His Lord when Fir`awn asked him about Him.
He ( Musa ) said, الَّذِى أَعْطَى كُلَّ شَىءٍ خَلْقَهُ ثُمَّ هَدَى ( He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright. ) Then, Fir`awn attempted to present some argumentative rebuttal during Musa's reply.
Yet, Musa continued by saying, "He is the One Who made the earth as a bed for you." Some recited the word as Mihadan and others recited it as Mahdan, which means `a place of rest that you settle down upon.' It also may mean `that which you stand upon, sleep upon or travel upon its back.' وَسَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلاً ( and has opened ways for you therein. ) This means, `He made roads for you to walk upon their shoulders.' This is just as He, the Exalted, said, وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجاً سُبُلاً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ ( And placed therein broad highways for them to pass through, that they may be guided. ) 21:31 وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجاً مِّن نَّبَـتٍ شَتَّى ( and has sent down water from the sky.
And We have brought forth with it various kinds of vegetation. ) referring to the various species of plants, such as vegetation and fruits.
Some are sour, some are sweet, some are bitter and there are other kinds as well. كُلُواْ وَارْعَوْا أَنْعَـمَكُمْ ( Eat and pasture your cattle (therein );) meaning, `something that is food for you and a palatable fruit for you, and something that is for your cattle as fodder for them, both green and dry.' إِنَّ فِى ذلِكَ لأيَـتٍ ( Verily, in this are Ayat. ) This means proofs, signs and evidences. لاٌّوْلِى النُّهَى ( for men of understanding. ) meaning those who possess correct and upright intelligence realizing that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and there is no true Lord other than Him. مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَـكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَى ( Thereof We created you, and into it we shall return you, and from it We shall bring you out once again. ) meaning, `the earth is your beginning.
For your father, Adam, was created with dirt from the surface of the earth.
You also will be returned to the earth.
This means that you will become dirt when you die and decay.' The statement, "And from it We shall bring you out once again," means, يَوْمَ يَدْعُوكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً ( On the Day when He will call you, and you will answer with His praise and obedience, and you will think that you have stayed (in this world ) but a little while!) 17:52 This Ayah is similar to Allah's statement, قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ ( He said: "Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from it you shall be brought out." ) 7:25 Musa showed Fir`awn all of the Signs but He did not believe Concerning Allah's statement, وَلَقَدْ أَرَيْنَـهُ ءَايَـتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَى ( And indeed We showed him (Fir`awn ) all Our Ayat, but he denied and refused.) This means that the proofs, signs and evi- dences were establi- shed against Fir`awn and he saw them with his own eyes, but he still denied and rejec- ted them due to his disbelief, abstinence and transgression.
This is as Allah, the Exalted, says, وَجَحَدُواْ بِهَا وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْهَآ أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْماً وَعُلُوّاً ( And they belied them wrongfully and arrogantly, though they themselves were convinced thereof. ) 27:14

(20:55) We have created you from this earth and We will return you into it and then will bring you forth out of it once again. *28

From the earth We created you, and meaning

*28) That is, "Every man has to pass through three stages: ( 1 ) from birth to death, ( 2 ) from death to Resurrection, and ( 3 ) from the Day of Resurrection to Eternity.
According to this verse, all the three stages will take place on this Earth.

( Thereof ) from the earth ( We created you ) He says We created you from Adam and Adam is from dust, and the dust is from the earth, ( and thereunto ) to the earth ( we return you ) He says: We bury you ( and thence ) from the earth ( We bring you forth ) He says: from the grave We shall bring you forth ( a second time ) after death, i.e. for the Resurrection.

Thereof (the earth) We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you out once again.
