(He it is Who hath created you from clay) i.e. from Adam and Adam was created from clay, (and hath decreed a term for you) He created this world and fixed a term for its extinction and made created beings whose lifespan expires with death. (A term is fixed with Him) Allah knows the term of the Hereafter: therein there is no death or evanescence. (Yet still you) O people of Mecca (doubt) in Allah and resurrection after death!
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
It is He Who created you from clay by creating your father Adam from it; then He decreed a term for each of you at the conclusion of which you die. A term is stated fixed with Him for your resurrection; yet thereafter you O disbelievers doubt you are uncertain about the Resurrection when you know that it was He Who initiated your creation and One Who has the power to initiate creation is even more capable of bringing you back to life after death.
