From what stuff hath He created him?

From what thing doth He create him?

Of what thing did He create him?

From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;

From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,

Of a small life-germ. He creates him, then proportions him,

Then doth He make His path smooth for him;

Then maketh the way easy for him,

Then makes the way easy for him,

Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;

Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;

Then he causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave,

Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).

Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.

Then when He will, He raises him to life again.

By no means hath he fulfilled what God hath commanded him.

Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.

Nay, but he does not what He commands him.
