Fatir 35:16
Originator · Meccan · Juz 22 · Page 436
A New Creation
إِن يَشَأۡ يُذۡهِبۡكُمۡ وَيَأۡتِ بِخَلۡقࣲ جَدِيدࣲ ١٦
If He will, He can be rid of you and bring (instead of you) some new creation.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
If He wills, He can do away with you and bring forth a new creation.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, He can remove the ungrateful who will not praise and bring in your place another people, unknown to you, who will.
Reflect
Know that Allah doesn’t need you; you need Him.
