We reverse him in creation. We turn him in it so that we create him contrary to how we created him before. This is because we created him in weakness in his body, and devoid of reason and knowledge. Then we made him increase and transition from state to state, and rise from degree to degree, until he reaches his prime and completes his strength, and he understands and knows what is for him and what is against him. When he reaches the end, we reverse him in creation, making him decrease, until he returns to a state similar to that of a child, in weakness of his body, little reason, and devoid of knowledge, just as an arrow is reversed, making its top its bottom. Allah, the Exalted, said: 'And among you is he who is returned to the most abject of old age, so that he knows nothing after having known something.' Then we have returned him to the lowest of the low. This is evidence that the One who transfers them from youth to old age, from strength to weakness, from sound reason to senility and little discernment, and from knowledge to ignorance after having transferred them contrary to this transfer and its opposite - is capable of blinding their eyes and distorting them from their status and doing with them as He wills and desires. And it has been read with the 'kaf' being broken. The saying 'And it has been read with the 'kaf' being broken' indicates that the famous reading is with the 'kaf' being opened, and both are from the meaning of reversal. And we reverse him and we reverse him, from the act of reversing and turning back. Do they not understand?
