Have they not seen (yaraw, or taraw, 'have you not seen?'), observed, how Allahu ta’ālā originates creation (yubdi'u, from [4th form] abda'a; a variant reading has yabda'u from [1st form] bada'a, both with the same meaning: 'He creates them originally') then, He, restores it, namely, creation, just as He originated them? Surely that, which is mentioned of the first and the second [acts of] creation, is easy for Allahu ta’ālā, so how can they deny the second one?
