Translation
His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
The authority and prestige of Allah is such that when He intends to create something, all He says to it is “Be!” and so it happens as He intends it. His intending to give life, cause death, and resurrect is also like that.
