Verses 31-40 GROUP_1543 75.31-40
31
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّى
He neither believed nor prayed,
32
وَلَكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
but rejected the Truth and turned away!
33
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّى
Then he went off to his people, swaggering.
34
أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى
Woe to you, [O man!], yes, woe to you.
35
ثُمَّ أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى
Again, woe to you, [O man!], yes, woe to you!
36
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
Does man, then, think that he is to be left to himself, to go about at will?
37
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَى
Was he not once a drop of ejaculated semen,
38
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّى
which then became a leech-like clot; then God shaped and fashioned him in due proportion,
39
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى
fashioning out of him the two sexes, the male and the female?
40
أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى
Then is He not able to bring the dead back to life?

Commentary
(a) In the beginning a human being enters the womb of his mother in the form of a drop. Then he develops and takes the shape of a leech (‘alaqa). He further develops and his limbs and features acquire their typical characteristics. Then, he emerges as a male or female. All these wonderful changes take place without any effort on the part of human beings. So, the system of nature which brings about such wonders every day, the creation of a new world after the present world should not be difficult. The fact is that the real impediment in the way of acceptance of Truth is egotism or conceit and not any dearth of arguments or reasoning.
