وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ ۚ وَلَهُ ٱلْمَثَلُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
And it is He who begins creation; then He repeats it, and that is [even] easier for Him. To Him belongs the highest attribute in the heavens and earth. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

And He it is Who initiates the creation of mankind then brings it back after their destruction and that is even easier for Him than the initiation — from the perspective of those addressed for whom to repeat something is easier than doing it for the first time — otherwise in God’s case exalted be He both are just as easy. His is the loftiest description in the heavens and the earth the most sublime attribute namely that ‘there is no god except God’. And He is the Mighty in His kingdom the Wise in His creation.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(He it is Who produceth creation) from a sperm drop, (then reproduceth it) revives the person on the Day of Judgement (and it is easier for Him) bringing people to life after they die is as easy for Him and creating them in the first place. (His is the Sublime Similitude in the heavens and in the earth) He says: He has the most sublime attribute in His power over the dwellers of the heavens and the earth. (He is the Mighty) in His kingdom and dominion, (the Wise) in His command and decree.
