بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


(1) هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنسَانِ حِينٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْئًا مَّذْكُورًا

(2) إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَّبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا

(3) إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا

(4) إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ سَلَاسِلَا وَأَغْلَالًا وَسَعِيرًا


1. Has there not been over Man a long period of Time when he was a thing not worth mentioning?

2. Surely We created Man from a drop of mingled semen (chromsomes), in order to try him: so We gave him hearing and sight.

3. Surely We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (is up to him) .

4. We have prepared Chains, Yokes and a Blazing Fire for the Rejecters.

In verse 1 man was not created for long time as proved from the study of the universe. Amshag in the Arab liguage give you literally and figuratively the chromosomes. In verse 3 man has the freedom of choice although God has the right to punish him severely for his arrogance since his acceptance is very highly rewarded.
(5) إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِن كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا

(6) عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا

(7) يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا

(8) وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا

(9) إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا

(10) إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا

(11) فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا


5." Verily, the Righteous drink of a cup; the mixture of which is (like) camphor."

6. " A fountain, where the servants of Allah drink, flows in abundance (wherever they wish) "

7." They fulfill (their) vows and fear a Day, the chastisement of which is widespread."

8. " And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive."

9. (Saying) : " We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks."

10. " We only fear from our Lord a Day, frowningly severe."

11. " Therefore, Allah will guard them against the evil of that Day, and will grant over them a Light of Beauty and a (blissful) joy."

Thus the people who followed the evil deeds God punish them strongly.

(12) وَجَزَاهُم بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَحَرِيرًا

(13) مُتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ لَا يَرَوْنَ فِيهَا شَمْسًا وَلَا زَمْهَرِيرًا

(14) وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلَالُهَا وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلًا

(17) وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلًا

(18) عَيْنًا فِيهَا تُسَمَّى سَلْسَبِيلًا

(19) وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤًا مَّنثُورًا

(20) وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيْتَ نَعِيمًا وَمُلْكًا كَبِيرًا

(21) عَالِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌ وَحُلُّوا أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ وَسَقَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُورًا

(22) إِنَّ هَذَا كَانَ لَكُمْ جَزَاءً وَكَانَ سَعْيُكُم مَّشْكُورًا


12. " And Allah will reward them for their patience, with a garden and clothes of silk (in Heaven) ."

If Muhammad (PBUH) was a mere social reformer he would not go on the details of heaven and hell like described in the Quran. One of the miracles of the Quran is proportion, for example God talk about his glory, creation and his names in very large portion in the Quran that is typical of your thinking if the author of the Quran is God. If a human worte the Quran he would not go in all the details of heaven and hell as in the Quran, he may just mention 2 verses here and there. Day of the reserrection conusme a lot of verses of the Quran as you would expect if these are God words. You can go on and on about that.

(23) إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ تَنزِيلًا

(24) فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ آثِمًا أَوْ كَفُورًا

(25) وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا

(26) وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَاسْجُدْ لَهُ وَسَبِّحْهُ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا

23. "Surely We, Ourselves, have revealed the Holy Qur'an to you, revealing (it) in stages."

24. "Therefore be patient and constant to the command of your Lord, and obey not from among them a guilty or an ungrateful one."

25. "And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening,"

26. And during the night prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him (a) long (part of the) night

It comes down again to the simple mesage of God: the Quran is his miracle, it has the arguments of God of being his own speech and through reciting the Quran we are worshipping God and it has the moral and legal laws that we ought to live by.

(27) إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ يُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيلًا

(28) نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَا أَسْرَهُمْ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَا أَمْثَالَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا

(29) إِنَّ هَذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا

(30) وَمَا تَشَاؤُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا

(31) يُدْخِلُ مَن يَشَاءُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ وَالظَّالِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا


27. " They love the fleeting life and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard and grievous."

28. " It is We who created them and strengthened their joints and when We will We can substitute the like of them (in their place) by a complete change".

29. " Surely this is an admonishment, that whosoever will, (taking this straight way) may take a path unto his Lord".

30. " Yet you will not, unless Allah Wills; surely Allah is All-knowing, All-wise".

31. " He will admit to His Mercy whom He will, but (as for the) evildoers, He has prepared a painful penalty."

The chapter ends by what it started man has the free will to accept the message of
God or reject it and since God made his message and arguments clear and protected the Quran since day one he has the right to reward highly those who believe and do the good and harshly punish the rejectors. The arguments of God are very strong through all over the Quran and the acceptance of God to  human back even if he was the greatest sinner in earth or the greatest blasphemous make no arguments to humans in the day of judgment against God. In fact God has democracy and he will let some of us speak at that day, those who would be just in presenting the human case. No human lawyer will be able to defend humans rejection given the great generosity of God to humans. Those who were much affected in this life God already promised them a lot in the second life if they just to believe and do good deeds for the few years we have in earth.
78: 38.The Day on which the Spirit (Gabriel) and the angels shall stand arrayed, they shall speak not except whom the All-merciful gives leave, and (who) speaks what is right.
