But man wants to contradict what lies before him.

But man is observant of himself.

Upon Us is to collate and recite it,

inna ʿalaynā jamʿahu waqur'ānah

فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ ۝١٨

Then once We have recited it, follow its recitation.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا بَیَانَهُۥ ۝١٩

Then Upon Us is its explanation.

thumma inna ʿalaynā bayānah

كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ ۝٢٠

But no, you love the immediate life,

kallā bal tuḥibbūna l-ʿājilat

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةࣰ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ۝٣٨

Then he was an implant, then He created and shaped (it),

thumma kāna ʿalaqatan fakhalaqa fasaww

فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَیۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰۤ ۝٣٩

And produced from it male and female in pairs.

أَلَیۡسَ ذَ ٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰۤ أَن یُحۡـِۧیَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ ۝٤٠

Is He then not able to revive the dead?
