Quran 30:27 – Recreation Is Easier For Him
There’s no need to take any other logic. Just our own perspective in interpreting the words has to be aligned with the context.
That’s perfect for something like ثم على العرش استوى. That require a literary taste and study of the Quran’s stylistically. So where rising above the throne means being an active governor rather than physically rising- how can the words here refer only to point out the illogical arguments or thinking of the Quraysh. Because the words themselves here denote a physical movement/action and requiring energy. Unless I am wrong in my first premise that God doesnt require energy to do something

I think you answered it correctly yourself here: Discussion 34653 • Reply 34655
They used to believe in God as the creator of this world, so this wording is implied of course.
I mean it all would fit perfectly if there was a ضرب الله مثلا and an example was given from our own experience. The tafsirs also add (from your experience) but I don’t see how the wording allows for that interpretation
I totally hear you Ahmad. Thanks for belaboring the point 🙂 The logical fallacy of those questioning the Creator’s ability to re-create is pretty evident (أَفَعَيِينَا بِٱلْخَلْقِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى لَبْسٍۢ مِّنْ خَلْقٍۢ جَدِيدٍۢ). The words of the ayah do underscore that absurdity, but I totally understand that’s not the point of your discussion. The question is that strictly from a nutq-o-bayan perspective — no mantaq — does a sam’ee of the language understand that one is “easier” than the other for Allaah? And that’s where I hear you: it seems to be a possible nutq reading. I wonder if from a nutq-o-bayan perspective, the ayah idiomatically translates as: “(if anything) it is even easier for Him”. The latter kind of then shifts the perspective to that of other than Allaah. Kind of like in لَخَلْقُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ Let me know what you think. P.S. For some reason with my gulabi Arabic I’ve always translated hayan as trivial rather than easy. So, in my idiomatic translation, I’d read the ayah as “it even more trivial for him”. That translation kind of removes the problem.
