Surah Yaseen 36:79 — Meaning, Translation & Reflection

قُلْ يُحْيِيهَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۢ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلْقٍ عَلِيمٌ

English: Say, ‘He who created them in the first place will give them life again: He has full knowledge of every act of creation.

Bengali: বলুন, যিনি প্রথমবার সেগুলোকে সৃষ্টি করেছেন, তিনিই জীবিত করবেন। তিনি সর্বপ্রকার সৃষ্টি সম্পর্কে সম্যক অবগত।

Meaning & Reflection

'Say: He will give them life who produced them the first time — and He knows all creation.' Ibn Ashur and al-Saadi note the clean answer to the doubter: the One who made you from nothing the first time finds the *re*-making trivial — the first creation is itself the proof of the second. And 'He knows all creation' — even the scattered atoms of a decayed body are fully known to Him. Ask yourself: I doubt renewal — of my body after death, but also of my broken situations, my deadened heart — as if starting again were harder than starting at all. This verse reasons the opposite: the One who began me from nothing can surely begin me again. Where am I treating a fresh start as impossible, when my very first start already answers the doubt?

Grounded in classical tafsir: Ibn Ashur, al-Saadi, al-Biqa'i.

Reflect with the Five Lenses

Maani's framework for Tadabbur (heart-centred reflection) on Surah Yaseen 36:79:

• Wording. Look closely at the specific words and structure. Which word stands out, and why might Allah have chosen it here?
• Quranic Worlds. Place the verse in its context — what is happening around it, and what world does it open up?
• Personal Experience. Ask not just what this means, but what it means TO me and FOR me, right now in my life.
• Connections. How does this verse connect to other verses, to the Sunnah, or to themes across the Quran?
• General Lessons. What timeless lesson or action point can I carry away and live by?
