Allah says in Quran;2:117- Creator of the heavens and the earth from nothingness, He has only to say wills a thing, “Be,” and it is.
The Arabic word “beda’a” means creation of something out of nothing. This word also connotes the fact that something is created not on a pattern previously designed of something but as a completely new entity having no precedence.The greatest marvel of the creation is the creation of all concepts out of did not exist, just asnothing. Think of the spectrum of colors. None of us can visualize a color that we have not already seen, nor can we produce that color. We are familiar with colors that already exist,but we cannot possibly create a new color. God, on the other hand, created all colors at a time when the concept of color the universe did not exist before. . To create a concept and its range of contents out of nothing is beyond human imagination and power.

Clearly, there is a difference between creating out of nothing and creating our of something. Both are creating of sorts but differ in kind.
The carpenter that fashions a chair from timber creates in this lesser way. Even, concepts and conceptual frameworks which man creates are created from previous ones.
Only God creates anew.
all the best urban

Ya It is fact that the God created the first creature of every specie from the nothing because there was not any source to create any thing but Allah.
Beda'a means: Something out of Nothing: We can explain it through the Biological Concept of Biogenesis and Abiogenesis.
Biogenesis: All creatures are produced by their parent of same species. In other words "the life produced through life"Abiogenesis: The life produced through non living thing. It is also true but just once. When there was not any creature or life existed on the earth or univeres.
But after the creation of Living organisns all the life is producing by their parent who are the same in feature and are of same specie.It is the continuety of "Biogenesis".
Its mean, the Abiogenesis is the 1st step of creation through which Allah created the Living Orghanicms just once after the creation Reproduction process is continue through Biogenesis process.
The Term Beda'a (Creation of something out of nothing) can easily be understand through this biological concept of life named "Abiogenesis".

Truely it clearly indicates nothing but the marvel of Creator who created us out of clay so that we shall recognize Him and worship Him and obey Him.

This sentence from Quran informs us that Allah/God is the greatest.
Also, this sentence tells us that if there is something that creates soomething else but need precedence/reference or out of something else then that something is surely not Allah/God.
Also, this sentence tells that nothing is impossible for Allah, if He wants something then that thing will materialize.
Hope Allah will forgive me if I am wrong.
I dont think this discussion hurts anybody as it is very universal in nature. Good discussion.
