77 Preface أَوَلَم يَرَ الإِنسانُ أَنّا خَلَقناهُ مِن نُطفَةٍ فَإِذا هُوَ خَصيمٌ مُبينٌYusuf AliDoth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm?1 yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary!Man’s disobedience and folly are all the more surprising, seeing that-apart from God’s greatness and mercy-man is himself such a puny creature, created out of something that is less than a drop in the vast ocean of Existence. Yet man has the hardihood to stand out and dispute with his Maker, and institute idle comparisons as in the next verse!
