أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَعْىَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۚ بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Awalam yaraw anna All a ha alla th ee khalaqa a l ssam a w a ti wa a lar d a walam yaAAya bikhalqihinna biq a dirin AAal a an yu h yiya almawt a bal a innahu AAal a kulli shayin qadeer un
ARE, THEN, they [who deny the life to come] not aware that God, who has created the heavens and the earth and never been wearied by their creation,41 has [also] the power to bring the dead back to life? Yea, verily, He has the power to will anything!
  - Mohammad Asad

This is apparently an allusion to the Qur'anic doctrine that God's creative activity is continuous and unending.

Do they not see that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and was not wearied by their creation, has the power to raise the dead to life? Why not! Surely He has the power over everything.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Do they not realize that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and did not tire in creating them,1 is able to give life to the dead? Yes 'indeed'! He is certainly Most Capable of everything.
  - Mustafa Khattab

 Or never failed in creating them.

Have they not seen that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and was not wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the dead? Aye, He verily is Able to do all things.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
See they not that Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and never wearied with their creation is able to give life to the dead? Yea verily He has power over all things. 4812
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. ii. 255 (Verse of the Throne): "His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them." He Whose power is constant and unwearied in creating and preserving all things in heaven and earth can surely give life to the dead at the Resurrection.
