Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (Have We grown weary of the first creation)

Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.أَفَعَيِينَا بِالْخَلْقِ الأَوَّلِ بَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ مِنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ
[Q:15] : The interrogation here is for negation.
And (we grew weary) means: we became tired.

And the first creation is: The beginning of the creation of the creatures.

Meaning: Did we become incapable of the beginning of the creation of the creatures such that we would become incapable of the resurrection of the creatures? It is known that
No,As Allah the Exalted said:
Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and earth and did not fail in their creationأَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَعْيَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ
[Al-Ahqaf:33] meaning: He did not become tired by it.
So if the Exalted and Majestic is He did not become tired by the first creation, then the resurrection of the creation is easier than its beginning,As Allah the Exalted said:
And it is He who begins creation; then He repeats itوَهُوَ الَّذِي يَبْدأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ
[Ar-Rum:27] and this is a rational argument intended to convince these deniers of the resurrection of the creation, for those who disbelieved claimed that they will not be resurrected and that there is no resurrection, and they denied this,And they argued for it with a very weak proof, saying:
Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"مَنْ يُحْيِي الْعِظَامَ وَهِيَ رَمِيمٌ
[Ya-Sin:78] So Allah the Exalted said:
Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing."قُلْ يُحْيِيهَا الَّذِي أَنْشَأَهَا أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلْقٍ عَلِيمٌ
[Ya-Sin:79] Then He presented the rational proofs indicating that Allah the Exalted is able to give life to the bones while they are decayed.

Allah the Exalted said:
But they are in confusion over a new creation.بَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ مِنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ
[Q:15] : meaning: they acknowledge that we did not grow weary of the first creation and that we brought it into existence;But:
they are in confusion over a new creation.هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ مِنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ
[Q:15] for this reason, the emphasis here is appropriate,Where he said:
No, but they areبَلْ هُمْ
[Q:15] meaning: that this is astonishing regarding their state, how do they acknowledge the first creation and then deny the resurrection after death?
But they are in confusionبَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ
[Qaf 50:15]
: meaning: in doubt and hesitation regarding the creation.
over a new creation.مِنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ
[Qaf 50:15]
: which is: the resurrection of the creation.

And I ask you now: Is the One who is able to begin the creation able to resurrect it, a fortiori?Answer: Yes, and this is a rational proof from which no human being can escape.
