In charity, nor
Did he pray!—

He rejected Truth
And turned away!

To his family
In full conceit!

(O man!, yea, woe!

(O man!), yea, woe!

That he will be left
Uncontrolled, (without purpose)?

37. Was he not a drop
Of sperm emitted
(In lowly form)?


38. Thumma kana AAalaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwa

A leech-like clot;
Then did (God) make
And fashion (him)
In due proportion.

Two sexes, male
And female.

The power to give life
To the dead?
