Overall meaning : ‘“What is the matter with you, that do you deny Allah’s greatness and do not show deep respect for Him as is His due, seeing that He has created you in gradual stages, from a drop of sperm, which is then transformed into a clot of blood clinging to the womb wall, which then turns into a chewed-like embryonic lump of flesh until you assume your perfect human shape and form?!
‘“Can you not see how Allah has created seven heavens one above the other, placing in them the moon for a light and the sun for a radiant lamp, so that you may realise Allah’s perfect power and that He alone is worthy of worship?!
‘“Allah began the creation of your father, Adam, from the dust of the earth, which is the source of your creation, then He will return you to the earth after your death, then He will again bring you forth from it on Resurrection Day for judgement and recompense.
‘“Allah has spread the earth as a carpet for you, so that you may easily travel along its spacious paths.”’
