﴿ أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍۢ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴾

“IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue?”

Or has man — namely the like of al-‘Āsī b. Wā’il — not seen has he not realised that We created him from a drop of sperm and so on in stages until We made him powerful and strong. Then lo! he is an open adversary severely antagonistic towards Us openly making this manifest by his denial of resurrection.
