Translation

Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and earth and did not fail in their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yes. Indeed, He is over all things competent.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Do these idolaters who deny the resurrection not understand that Allah Who created the heavens and created the earth, and did not tire in creating them despite their hugeness and vastness, is able to give life to the dead for reckoning and recompense? Indeed, He is able to bring them to life. He, (may He be glorified), is able to do all things and He is not incapable of bringing the dead to life.
