Commentary

 

Previously, the circumstances about creation of the mankind were explained that he is a collection of two things – body and soul. The body has been prepared with those things which exist in the clay. The clay was kneaded with water and the body-frame of the mankind was prepared from the same directly first time. After that, lineage of his creation was established in such manner that the mankind should fill his belly with food; acquired from the produce of the earth. That food becomes source of producing seed (semen), which is a baseless fluid. When the skeleton got ready, then it was animated. The thing which animated it, is Soul, by means of which, eyes, ears and hearts began to work respectively.

 

After that, it is commanded: How do these people say that “when elements of our body will rot and spread in the dust, then how shall we be brought again to life?” Say to them: In fact you have not known your Lord. When once the body has been created, the soul has been breathed in it and the mankind has been born, then you should understand it carefully that the Angel of Death (peace be upon him) has been appointed for you. He will pull your soul out from your body when the time of your death will reach. This soul will remain in existence; for which the body will be prepared again like this, and the soul will penetrate in that body.

Commentary

 

Whatsoever Allaah Almighty has created, created with very good manner and in perfection. Only He can create the things like these Who may be a Grand Master and have knowledge of all ups and downs. And along with it, He may bestow to every created thing that which is required for everything’s creation and protection, with generosity. And everything should be in His Divine Power.

 

That Omnipotent (Allaah Almighty) created the mankind first time from clay kneaded with water. Then He began to produce his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained, which is essence of such things which the mankind uses for food. That draught is a remainder in water form which is considered valueless.

 

Then Allaah Almighty proportioned every joint of human body at its proper place correctly and adjusted all body parts.

 

When the mankind came in a suitable form, then Allaah Almighty breathed Soul into him, which is a particular thing created by His Commandment. After that, the mankind began to see with his eyes and hear with his ears, and some astonishing forces began to work in his heart. Even then you are little grateful.

Commentary

 

In the previous verse, it was commanded: Allaah Almighty created the entire Universe and established Himself above the Throne (Throne means “the Seat of a Ruler or King”). In this verse, the indication is towards “an outline of the System of the Empire”. It is commanded: On the earth, detail of one day’s work is sent down every day by the Excelled Court of Allaah Almighty. The Angels (peace be upon them), who execute the Commands of Allaah Almighty, begin to work in accordance with those Orders. After that, the entire matters of execution of Commandments are reported back in the Court of Allaah Almighty and thence further Instructions are issued for the next day. It is a daily routine work. But if we compare that Day with the days of this world, the extent of that Day is a thousand years of those which we count.

 

Next, in Suratul-Ma-‘aarij (The Ascending Stairways –Chapter 70), it has come to knowledge that “when this world will be over, then the Day of Resurrection shall be established and reckoning process of the deeds of entire people will be finalized, according to counting of this world; extent of that one Day will be of fifty thousand years. This is arrangement of Allaah Almighty, in accord with which the works of the world are being managed and according to which every individual’s personal deeds will be reckoned.

 

After that, it is commanded: The Lord of the Lords has established such determined and correct in all respects System by His Divine Power, Who is Well Aware of every Visible and invisible thing, all apparent and hidden matters, and Who is The Most Powerful.
