Translation
Such is the Creation of Allah: now show Me what is there that others besides Him have created: nay, but the Transgressors are in manifest error.
Tafsir
This is God's creation, in other words, what is created by Him. Now show me, inform me, O people of Mecca, what those [you worship] besides Him, [those] other than Him, have created, namely, your gods, so that you have associated them with Him, exalted be He (maa is an interrogative of denial and a subject; dhaa has the significance of alladhee, and what follows it of the relative clause is the predicate [of the subject maa]; aroonee glosses 'the action', and what follows it stands in place of two direct objects). Nay (bal, is for transition) but the evildoers are in manifest error, [error] that is evident because of their ascribing partners to God: and you are like them.
Proofs of Tawhid
Thus Allah explains His mighty power in creating the heavens and the earth, and everything that is within them and between them.
He says:
خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِغَيۡرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوۡنَهَا
He has created the heavens without any pillars that you see,
Al-Hasan and Qatadah said,
It does not have any pillars, visible or invisible.
وَأَلۡقَى فِي الاۡأَرۡضِ رَوَاسِيَ
and has set on the earth firm mountains,
means, the mountains which stabilize and lend weight to the earth, lest it should shake with its water.
Allah says:
أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمۡ
lest it should shake with you.
وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ
And He has scattered therein moving creatures of all kinds,
means, He has placed throughout it all kinds of animals, the total number of whose kinds and colors is known to no one except the One Who created them.
When Allah tells us that He is the Creator, He also reminds us that He is the Provider, as He says:
وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ السَّمَاء مَاء فَأَنبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٍ كَرِيمٍ
And We send down water from the sky, and We cause (plants) of every goodly kind to grow therein in pairs,
meaning, every kind of good produce in pairs, i.e., they are beautiful to look at.
Ash-Sha`bi said:
People are also produce of the earth, so whoever enters Paradise is goodly and whoever enters Hell is vile.
هَذَا خَلۡقُ اللَّهِ
This is the creation of Allah.
means, all that Allah has mentioned here of the creation of the heavens and earth and everything in between stems from His power of creation and control alone, and He has no partner or associate in that,
Allah says:
فَأَرُونِي مَاذَا خَلَقَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ
So, show Me that which those besides Him have created.
those idols and rivals whom you worship and call upon.
بَلِ الظَّالِمُونَ
Nay, the wrongdoers,
means the idolators who associate others in worship with Allah.
فِي ضَلَلٍ
in error,
means, they are ignorant and blind.
مُّبِينٍ
plain,
means, it is clear and obvious, and not at all hidden.
