﴿Or a creation﴾; other than them; ﴿of that which is great﴾; meaning: it is of great magnitude; ﴿in your breasts﴾; regarding acceptance of life; even if it is death; until you know the state of resurrection, how will your state be in responding to what He wants? For indeed, the origin of all is dust; so the one who preferred your clay - from which you were created - over all other clay; by growth; then by life; then by speech; and preferred some of the speakers over others with countless gifts; is capable of transferring that virtue to the clay; which He transformed stage by stage; until He made it stone; or iron; ﴿Then they will say﴾; continuing in mockery: ﴿Who will return us﴾; if we are like that; ﴿Say: The One who created you﴾; meaning: who began your creation; ﴿the first time﴾; and you were nothing; He will return you with the power with which He began you; just as that power did not fail in the beginning; it will not fail in the return; ﴿Then they will nod﴾; meaning: affirming with a promise that there is no breaking of it; indicating ﴿to you with their heads﴾; meaning: they move them out of extreme astonishment; and mockery; as if they, in their extreme ignorance, are at the utmost of insight in the knowledge of what they say; and 'nughdu' and 'inghad' mean: movement with rising and falling; (p-440) ﴿And they say﴾; in mockery; ﴿When is it﴾; then He reached His saying (the Most High): ﴿Say﴾; a saying that is moderate; not being affected by their condition; nor tight in His saying: ﴿Perhaps it will be﴾; meaning: a being from which there is no escape; ﴿soon﴾; leaning towards the possibility of its occurrence; not being certain;
