Commentary

Except like a single soul, except like its creation and resurrection. That is: whether in His power the few or the many, the one or the group, there is no difference. This is because the difference between a single soul and many souls in number is that if He were occupied by one matter from another or one action from another, and He is exalted above that. Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. He hears every sound and sees every sight at one time, and His perception of some does not prevent His perception of others. Likewise is creation and resurrection.
