➋ {بَلْ هُمْ فِيْ لَبْسٍ مِّنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيْدٍ:} That is, they do not deny that We created them the first time, nor that after creating them the first time, We did not become tired; yet despite this, they doubt whether We can create them again or not. Whereas with a little reflection, it can be understood that if any difficulty were to arise, it would have arisen the first time; the task of creating for the second time is much easier compared to the first.

[17] The fundamental mistake is to liken Allah Almighty to any human or any living creature, and from this, many kinds of misguidance arise. They think that just as we become tired after working, Allah Almighty must also have become tired after creating such a vast universe. Therefore, how will He create this universe again a second time? One answer given in various places in the Quran is that even in your own view, making something a second time is easier than making it the first time, so how can it be difficult for Allah to create it again? And here, the answer given is that the real issue is not that they consider Us tired or incapable, but rather, their intellect does not accept that they can be created again. They remain doubtful in this matter. Both possibilities remain in their minds. But since their base desires demand that there should be no reckoning, they remain firm upon this.
