Transliteration

Awalam yaral insaanu annaa khalaqnaahu min nutfatin fa-izaa huwa khaseemum mubeen

Translation

Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Does the human who rejects the resurrection after death not ponder that I created him from semen, then he went through different phases until he was born and developed, turning into an argumentative and quarrelling creation? Does he not ponder over that to conclude that resurrection is possible?
