أَمَّنْ يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ وَمَنْ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ Is He [not best] who begins creation and then repeats it and who provides for you from the heaven and earth?

As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it. (Sahih International)

وَهَمُّوا بِإِخْرَاجِ الرَّسُولِ وَهُمْ بَدَءُوكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ Would you not fight a people who broke their oaths and determined to expel the Messenger, and they had begun [the attack upon] you the first time? Do you fear them? But Allah has more right that you should fear Him, if you are [truly] believers. (Sahih International)

Just as He originated you, you will return [to life] - (Sahih International)

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ And it is He who begins creation; then He repeats it, and that is [even] easier for Him. To Him belongs the highest attribute in the heavens and earth. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (Sahih International)

إِنَّهُ يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ To Him is your return all together. [It is] the promise of Allah [which is] truth.

But those who disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment for what they used to deny. (Sahih International)

This is the end of the list. بَدَأَ was only mentioned 12 times in the Quran. فَبَدَأَ بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَاءِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ وِعَاءِ أَخِيهِ So he began [the search] with their bags before the bag of his brother; then he extracted it from the bag of his brother. Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not have taken his brother within the religion of the king except that Allah willed. We raise in degrees whom We will, but over every possessor of knowledge is one [more] knowing. (Sahih International)
