Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: “Are you more difficult to create, or the sky which We built”
Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) addresses His servants, saying: [An-Nazi'at: 27] And by this interrogative, He intended to establish the possibility of the Resurrection; for the polytheists had denied the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the Resurrection,And they said: [Ya-Sin: 78] ?So Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says: [An-Nazi'at: 27] And the answer is known to everyone that the sky is more difficult to create,As Allah the Exalted said: [Ghafir: 57] .

لَخَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لا يَعْلَمُونَ“Which We built” This clause is not connected to the one before it, and for this reason, the reader should pause when reciting at the phrase:
