Surah Al-Ma'arij — Ayah 39 (70:39)

English translation (Saheeh International)

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.¹

1. - i.e., a liquid disdained. So how can they expect to enter Paradise except by the will of their Creator?

Brief commentary

It is not as they imagine. Indeed, I created them from what they know: I created them from a contemptible fluid, and they are weak: they are incapable of bringing benefit or harm for themselves, so how could they be arrogant?
