Commentary
And when He urged them to believe by reasoning with their creation, and that resurrection is merely a transformation from an old form to the form they were in before, the cause of their denial of it, while they believe in creation, was their failure to consider the alteration of forms in its details. Or it was caused by the words of those who might say from the people of nature: 'We were created from a drop that occurred due to a hidden heat.' So He said: 'Have you seen?' meaning 'Inform me, have you seen with sight or insight that We created you?' This guides you to the fact that We are able to bring you back as We were able to bring you into existence. And you have seen what you pour out, meaning what you release—from the drops that are semen—in the wombs through intercourse.
