An-Nazi'at 79:27–29
Are you harder to create, or the sky?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ٢٧ رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ٢٨ وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ٢٩
The meaning, simply
Is bringing you back after death harder, or creating the sky? Allah built it above you, raised its ceiling high and made it even, darkened its night and brought out its day with the sun.
