Created from Nothing?
أَمۡ خُلِقُواْ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ شَيۡءٍ أَمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ ٣٥
Or were they created out of naught? Or are they the creators.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, it is clear that they did not exist before and were created later; if they have minds, do they not reflect on this?
Reflect
Reflect on the Creator’s existence in your own existence.
