The Romans · ayah 27 of 60

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ ۚ وَلَهُ ٱلْمَثَلُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ

Wahuwa allathee yabdao alkhalqathumma yuAAeeduhu wahuwa ahwanu AAalayhi walahu almathalu al-aAAlafee assamawati wal-ardiwahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeem

"And it is He who begins creation; then He repeats it, and that is [even] easier for Him. To Him belongs the highest description [i.e., attribute] in the heavens and earth. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

وَلَهُ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ

(To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth.) means, He owns it and it is enslaved to Him.

كُلٌّ لَّهُ قَـنِتُونَ

(All are obedient to Him.) they are humble before Him and submit to Him, whether willingly or unwillingly.

Repeating the Creation is easier for Allah

Allah's saying:

وَهُوَ الَّذِى يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ

(And He it is Who originates the creation, then He will repeat it; and this is easier for Him.) Ibn Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas said, "This means it is easier for Him." Mujahid said: "Repeating it is easier for Him than originating it, and originating it is easy for Him." This was also the view of `Ikrimah and others. Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Prophet said:

«قَالَ اللهُ: كَذَّبَنِي ابْنُ آدَمَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ، وَشَتَمَنِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ، فَأَمَّا تَكْذِيبُهُ إِيَّايَ فَقَوْلُهُ: لَنْ يُعِيدَنِي كَمَا بَدَأَنِي وَلَيْسَ أَوَّلُ الْخَلْقِ بِأَهْوَنَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ إِعَادَتِهِ، وَأَمَّا شَتْمُهُ إِيَّايَ فَقَوْلُهُ: اتَّخَذَ اللهُ وَلَدًا، وَأَنَا الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَد»

(Allah says; "The son of Adam denied Me, and he had no right to do so. And he reviled Me, and he had no right to do so. As for his denying Me, it is his saying: `He will not remake me as He originated me' -- while originating the creation is not easier for Me than re-creating him. As for his reviling Me, it is his saying: `Allah has taken to Himself a son,' while I am the One, the Self-Sufficient Master; I beget not, nor was I begotten, and there is none comparable to Me.") This was recorded only by Al-Bukhari.

وَلَهُ الْمَثَلُ الأَعْلَى فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ

(His is the highest description in the heavens and in the earth. ) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported Ibn `Abbas said, "This is like the Ayah:

لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَىْءٌ

(There is nothing like Him) (42:11)." Qatadah said: "His description is La ilaha illallah, and there is no Lord but He."

Tafsir Saʿdi

Смысл этого откровения в том, что человеческому разуму легче представить воскрешение людей после смерти, нежели сотворение человека из небытия. И действительно, если Аллах способен сотворить человека из небытия, в чем людям не приходится сомневаться, то воссоздать людей для Него должно быть гораздо легче. После упоминания о величайших знамениях, которые обязаны принимать во внимание благоразумные мужи и над которыми обязаны размышлять правоверные, Всевышний Аллах коснулся одного из самых важных вопросов и возвестил о том, что Ему принадлежит наивысшее достоинство на небесах и на земле. Речь идет о божественных качествах величия и совершенства. Всестороннее совершенство является одним из этих качеств. Сердца его преданных рабов переполнены любовью к своему Господу. Они устремляются к Нему всем сердцем, поминают Его в величественных молитвах, поклоняются Ему надлежащим образом, и все это также свидетельствует о наивысшем достоинстве Господа, которое подразумевает Его величественные качества и вытекающие из них последствия. Исходя из этого праведные богословы при описании качеств Творца говорят, что если творения обладают прекрасными качествами, то последние непременно должны быть присущи Творцу и превосходить аналогичные качества творений. Что же касается пороков и недостатков, которыми могут обладать творения, то они никоим образом не могут быть приписаны Творцу, да и сами творения должны стремиться избавиться от них. Воистину, среди прекрасных имен Аллаха - Могущественный и Мудрый. Он обладает совершенным могуществом и безграничной мудростью. Благодаря Своему могуществу Он создал творения и ниспослал законы, а благодаря Своей мудрости Он сотворил Вселенную прекрасной и сделал ниспосланные предписания справедливыми.

Maʿārif al-Qur'ān

Mufti Shafi Usmani, English

+

لَهُ الْمَثَلُ الْأَعْلَىٰ (For Him is the highest attribute - 30:27) The word مَثَل mathal is used for any such thing which has resemblance and similarity with something else, but its being exactly like that is not necessary. Therefore, the Qur'an has used the word 'mathal' for Allah Ta’ ala at several places, as in this very verse, and in another but Allah Ta’ ala's Being is completely beyond resemblance. (That is why the word 'mathal' has been translated above as 'attribute', which is also a possible lexical meaning of the word.)
