سُوْرَةُ الْعَنْكَبُوْتِ
Surah Al-Ankaboot (29) — Ayah 20
قُلْ سِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ بَدَأَ ٱلْخَلْقَ ۚ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ يُنشِئُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿20﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Say: "Travel in the land and see how (Allâh) originated the creation, and then Allâh will bring forth the creation of the Hereafter (i.e. resurrection after death). Verily, Allâh is Able to do all things."

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
20. Say, "Travel through the earth and see how Allah originated the creation [32]. Then Allah will bring forth the second creation. Indeed, Allah is Powerful over all things."

The Cosmic System Within Every Particle:
Now, if a person reflects upon other objects of the universe and inanimate things, he becomes even more deeply immersed in astonishment. Every material thing is composed of countless tiny particles. The smallest particle known to man is the atom, which until the nineteenth century was considered indivisible, meaning such a minute particle that further division was thought impossible. And it can only be seen with the help of a powerful microscope. However, current research has revealed that even within this tiny particle, there is a very strong system established. It contains electrons as well as protons, and both are revolving within this tiny particle in a highly regulated manner, just as our solar system and the planets revolve around the sun. Nothing can prevent them from performing their assigned tasks, nor do they interfere in each other's work. Every material body is composed of countless such particles. And if the system present within this particle is broken, immense energy is obtained from this tiny particle, with which, in the present age, the atom bomb is made. Now it is up to man whether he uses this energy for his constructive needs or uses it for destructive purposes to destroy and ruin humanity. Now the question is: can the Being who created every material thing in such an astonishing manner for the first time not create such a creation again? Current findings have proven that matter only changes its form; nothing of it is completely annihilated. This research has made the belief in resurrection after death much more comprehensible, because every single particle of matter is under the direct control of Allah Almighty.
