Sura 31
Aya 28
28
ما خَلقُكُم وَلا بَعثُكُم إِلّا كَنَفسٍ واحِدَةٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَميعٌ بَصيرٌ

Yusuf Ali

And your creation or your resurrection is in no wise but as an individual soul:1 for God is He Who hears and sees (all things).
  • God’s greatness and infinitude are such that He can create and cherish not only a whole mass, but each individual soul, and He can follow its history and doings until the final judgment. This shows not only God’s glory and omniscience and omnipotence: it also shows the value of each individual soul in His eyes, and lifts individual responsibility right up into relations with Him.
