58. This means reflect over your previous lives and believe in your future lives. The One who can create you into a human being from clay. He can most surely turn you into clay in the future and from it once again a human being.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Waqiah verse 62 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Waqiah ayat 57 which provides the complete commentary from verse 57 through 62.

(56:62) You are well aware of the first creation; then, do you learn no lesson from it?[27]

Ala-Maududi

(56:62) You are well aware of the first creation; then, do you learn no lesson from it?[27]


27. That is, you already know how you were created in the first instance, how the sperm was transferred from the loins of the father by which you came into being, how you were nourished in the mother’s womb, which was no less dark than the grave, and formed into a living human being, how an insignificant speak was developed and endowed with the heart and brain, eyes and ears, and hands and feet, and how it was blessed with the wonderful faculties of intellect and sense, knowledge and wisdom, workmanship and inventiveness, etc. Is this miracle in any way less wonderful than raising the dead back to life? And when you are witnessing this wonderful miracle with your own eyes and are yourselves a living evidence of it in the world, why don’t you then learn the lesson that the same God Who by His power is causing this miracle to take place day and night, can also cause the miracle of life after death, Resurrection and Hell and Heaven to take place by the same power.

(62) And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
