A Creation You Do Not Know
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمۡثَٰلَكُمۡ وَنُنشِئَكُمۡ فِي مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٦١
That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And produce you in that which you do not know.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the commentators give several views here; “amthal” may mean likenesses or attributes.
Reflect
Leave the mystery of the new creation in the Hereafter to Allah.
