إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُۥٓ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيْـًٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ
Innam a amruhu i tha ar a da shayan an yaqoola lahu kun fayakoon u
His Being alone48 is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" - and it is.
  - Mohammad Asad

This is the meaning of the phrase innama amruhu - the term amr being synonymous, in this instance, with sha'n ("state [or "manner"] of being"). The exclusiveness of God's creative Being is stressed by the restrictive particle innama.

Whenever He intends a thing, He needs only to say: "Be," and it is.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
All it takes, when He wills something 'to be', is simply to say to it: 'Be!' And it is!
  - Mustafa Khattab
But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that he saith unto it: Be! and it is.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Verily when He intends a thing His command is "Be" and it is! 4028
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

And His creation is not dependent on time, or instruments or means, or any conditions whatsoever. Existence waits on His Will, or Plan, or Intention. The moment He wills a thing, it becomes His Word or Command, and the thing forthwith comes into existence. Cf. ii. 117; xvi. 40, n. 2066; etc.
