The Human Being

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ
Does the human being think that We cannot assemble his bones?
—Quran 75:3

answer:
بَلَىٰ قَادِرِينَ عَلَىٰ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ
Yes indeed. We are able even to reshape his fingertips.
—Quran 75:4

أَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْإِنسَانُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْئًا
And the human being says, “After I die, will I really be raised to life again?” Does the human being not remember that We created him before, when he was nothing?
—Quran 19:66–67

أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الْإِنسَانُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ
Does the human being not see that we created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open adversary. And he produces arguments against Us, and he forgets his own creation. He says, ‘Who will revive the bones when they have decayed?’ Say, ‘He who initiated them in the first instance will revive them. He has knowledge of every creation.’ It is He Who produces for you fire from the green tree, then behold, you kindle fire therewith.
—Quran 36:77–80

يَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
The human being on that Day (Day of Resurrection) will say “To where can I escape?” No indeed! There is no refuge! On that Day all will end up before your Lord. On that Day the human shall be informed of his former and latter deeds. Indeed, man will testify against himself, Even if he presents his excuses.
—Quran 75:10–15

وَخُلِقَ الْإِنسَانُ ضَعِيفًا
And the human being was created weak.
—Quran 4:28
