Explanatory Note

It is the creative power of God that transforms that gamete into this quarrelsome, contentious person. What a gulf between origin and end! Yet man finds it difficult to believe that this power can bring him back to life after death. “He comes up with arguments against Us, forgetting how he himself was created. He asks: ‘Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?’ Say: Be who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life again. He has full knowledge of every act of creation.” (Verses 78-79) How simple, using the logic of nature and obvious reality!
