Allah uses the beginning of creation as a proof for its repetition. This means that He, the Exalted, created tljie human being while he was nothing. So can he not repeat this creation after the human had actually become something? Similaliy Allah says;

And He it is Who originates the creation, then He will repeat it; and this is easier for Him.

In the Sahih it is recorded that the Messenger of Allah said,

«Allah, the Exalted said, "The son of Adam denies Me and he has no right to deny Me. The son of Adam harms Me and he has no right to harm Me. His denial of Me is his statement that I will never repeat His creation like I created him the first time. Yet, the second creation is not more difficult upon Me than the first. His harming Me is his statement that I have a son. Yet, I am One Alone, the Self-Sufficient Whom all creatures need. He Who does not beget children, nor was He bom and there is none coequal or comparable unto Him."»

Concerning Allah’s statement,

The Lord, Blessed be He the Most High, swears by His Noble Self that He will definitely gather all of those who worshipped other than Allah and their devils as well.

Al-‘Awfi related that Ibn ‘Abbas said, “This means sitting and it is similar to His statement,

And you will see each nation Jathiyah.”

As-Suddi commented on the word Jithiyya, “It means standing.” It has been reported from Murrah that Ibn Mas*ud said the same.

Concerning Allah’s statement,

This means from every nation. This is what Mujahid said.

Ath-Thawrl reported from ‘Ali bin Al-Aqmar, from Abu Al-Ahwas, from Ibn Mas'ud that he said, “The first of them will be bound to the last of them until their number is complete. Then, they will be brought all together. Then, Allah will begin with the greatest of them in crime and continue in succession. That is Allah’s statement,

This is similar to Allah’s statement,

Until they will be gathered all together in the Fire. The last of them ivill say to the first of them: "Our Lord! These misled us, so give them a double torment of the Fire.” Until His saying,

For what you used to earn.

The first of them will say to the last of them: “Your were not better than us, so taste the torment for what you used to earn.
Concerning Allah’s statement,

Then, at this point Allah attaches one piece of information to another. The meaning here is that Allah best knows which of His creatures deserve to be burned in the fire of Hell and remain there forever and who deserves to have his punishment doubled. This is as He says in the Ayah that was previous y mentioned,

He ivill say: "For each one there is double (torment), but you knoiv not."
