Apart from all other things in the world, if man only considers as to how he himself has come into being, he can then neither have any doubts left about the doctrine of Tauhid presented by the Quran nor about its doctrine of the Hereafter. The process of man’s own creation starts when the male has conveyed his sperm to the womb of the female. But the question is: Has the sperm by itself become endowed with the capability of producing a child, and necessarily a human child? Or, has it been created by man himself, or by someone other than God? And, is it in the power of the man, or of the woman, or of another agency in the world, to cause conception by this sperm? Then, who is responsible for the gradual formation and development of the fetus in the mother’s womb, its shaping and molding into a unique child, the provision in a particular proportion of different mental and physical powers and qualities in each child so that it develops into a unique person, except One God? Does someone, other than God, have any role to play in this? Is it done by the parents themselves? Or, by a doctor? Or, by the prophets or saints, who were themselves created in this very way? Or, by the sun and the moon and the stars, which are themselves subject to a law? Or, by nature, which is devoid of any knowledge, wisdom, will and authority? Then, is it also in the power of someone other than God to decide whether the child is to be a boy or a girl? Whether it is to be beautiful or ugly, strong or weak, blind and deaf and a cripple or sound bodied, intelligent or stupid? Then, is it someone other than God who decides as to people of what caliber, good or bad, are to be created in a particular nation at a particular time, who would cause its rise or fall? If a person is not obdurate and stubborn, he will realize that no rational answer can be given to these questions on the basis of polytheism and atheism. Their rational answer is only one and it is this. Man is wholly and entirely the creation of God; and when the truth is this, what right has this man, the creation of God, to claim freedom and independence as against his Creator, or serve someone else beside Him. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab Do you create it with the seeds it contains or are We the Creator? ### Bijan Moeinian Is it you who created it [and a child out of it] or the Creator? ### Al-Hilali & Khan Is it you who create it (i.e. make this semen into a perfect human being), or are We the Creator? ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators? ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran Is it you who create ˹a child out of˺ it, or is it We Who do so? ### Taqi Usmani Is it you who create it, or are We the Creator? ### Abdul Haleem do you create it yourselves or are We the Creator? ### Arthur John Arberry Do you yourselves create it, or are We the Creators? ### E.
