Quran 36 Verse 78 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Yaseen ayat 78, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(36:78) He strikes for Us[66] a similitude and forgot his own creation.[67] He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?”
66. That is, he regards Us powerless and weak like the creation, and thinks that just as man cannot raise the dead back to life, so also can’t We.
67. “Forgets his own creation”: Forgets that We created the basic germ of life from dead matter, which became the means of his creation; then We caused the germ to develop to such an extent that now he stands before Us as a disputant.
