Surah 19:9

"He said, ‘So (it will be)! Your Lord has said, “It is easy for Me, seeing that I created you before, when you were nothing.”’"
Creation from Nothing

Supporting Verses

Surah 19:67 → "Does the human not remember that We created him before, when he was nothing?"

Opposing Verses

Surah 52:35 → "Or were they created out of nothing? Or were they the creators?"
Does the Quran state that humans were created from nothing? One verse uses a rhetorical question to imply humans were not created out of nothing, while other verses explicitly state that God created humans when they were nothing.
