Verily, you know how I created you initially, so do you not take heed and realise that the being who created you in the first place, is capable of resurrecting you after you die?
You are well aware of the first creation; why do you not then take heed?
And indeed, you have already known the first form of creation (i.e. the creation of Adam): why then do you not remember (or take heed)?
And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect?
And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises?
And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind?
And indeed you have already known the earliest bringing into being; (if) had you (known), you would have been mindful!
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَهُ ٱلْمَثَلُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
And it is He who begins creation; then He repeats it, and that is [even] easier for Him. To Him belongs the highest description [i.e., attribute] in the heavens and earth. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
أَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْـًٔا
Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ …
Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary? …
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى …
Does man think that he will be left neglected? …
