Sura 40
Aya 57
57
لَخَلقُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ أَكبَرُ مِن خَلقِ النّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَعلَمونَ

Yusuf Ali

Assuredly the creation1 of the heavens and the earth is a greater (matter) than the creation of men: Yet most men understand not.
  • The heavens and the earth include mankind and all other creatures and millions of stars. Man is himself but a tiny part of creation. Why should he be so egocentric? The whole is greater than a tiny part of it. And God Who created the whole of the Worlds is able to do much more wonderful things than can enter the imagination of man. Why should man be arrogant and doubt the Resurrection, and take upon himself to doubt the possibility of God’s Revelation? It is only because he has made himself blind. See next verse.
