Reflection — Ibn Kathir
The Refutation against Whoever denies Life after Death
Allah rebukes those who deny the Resurrection and the Final Gathering.
قُتِلَ الإِنسَـنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ (then He made the way easy for him...80:20) Allah through His consummate wisdom creates man in his mother's womb, creation after creation, within three layers of darkness [ i.e. the belly, the womb and the amniotic membrane ]. It is kept in a safe place in the belly. The mother in whose belly all this is happening is totally unaware of any of the details of this process. Thereafter, when the baby becomes perfect with all its limbs and organs, Allah made it possible that a body weighing 3 to 4 kg comes out through an extremely narrow passage, and the mother does not suffer unduly. So blessed be He Who is the best Creator!
