In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful. Has not
man seen that We created him from a
sperm-drop, and at once he is a clear
adversary? And he
presents to Us
an example and forgets his own creation. He says, “Who will give life to the bones when they have decayed?” Say, “He will give them life who produced them the
first time, and He is Knowing of all creation. Who
made for you from the green tree fire, and
at once
you were in a state of desolation.” Is
not He who created the heavens and the earth able to
create the
likes of them? Yes, and He is the Creator, the
Knowing.
His command is only
when He intends a thing that He says to it, “Be,” and it is. So exalted is He in
whose hand is the dominion over all
things, and to Him you will be returned.
