awalaa yazkurul insaanu annaa khalaqnaahu min qablu wa lam yaku shai'aa

Translation

Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Does this person who rejects resurrection not remember that I created him previously when he was nothing? He can then use the first creation as evidence for the second creation, even though the second creation will be simpler and easier?
