[The creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind], meaning: more intense, referring to the intensity of their creation, their density, their width, and their length. That is: you, O polytheists, acknowledge that it is Allah who created them, yet you deny the Resurrection, [but most of mankind do not know] that they will be resurrected.
﴿لخلق السَّمَاوَات وَالأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ﴾ أَي: أَشد , يَعْنِي: شدَّة خلقهَا وكثافتها وعرضها وطولها؛ أَي: فَأنْتم أَيهَا الْمُشْركُونَ تقرون بِأَن اللَّه هُوَ الَّذِي خلقهَا , وتجحدون بِالْبَعْثِ ﴿وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ﴾ أَنهم مبعوثون
