Summary
Surah Yasin verse 82 states that when Allah intends something, He only says "Be" and it comes to be at once. Exegetes such as al-Tabari, al-Razi, Ibn Kathir, al-Qurtubi, al-Shawkani, al-Maraghi, Ibn 'Ashur, Sayyid Qutb, al-Sabuni and Wahbah al-Zuhaili stress that creation occurs without tools, intermediaries, repeated commands or difficulty. The verse is also explained as an isti'arah tamthiliyyah in rhetoric, depicting the swiftness of Allah's power and the submission of creation to Him.
