Bu ruhni koinot bilan birlashtiradigan dastlabki ta'sir, uning ortidan keladigan yana bir ta'sir bilan davom etadi: u uyushgan yaratilishning va ataylab qilingan rejalashtirishning haqiqatini ta'kidlaydi, buning uchun God osmon va tungi mehmon bilan qasam ichgan. Insonning yaratilishining dastlabki bosqichlari bu haqiqatning dalili bo'lib, inson ahamiyatsiz narsa sifatida unutilmaganini ko'rsatadi: "Inson o'ylab ko'rsin: u nimadan yaratilgan. U otilib chiqayotgan suvdan yaratilgan; u bel suyagi bilan ko'krak suyagi orasidan chiqadi." (5-7-oyatlar)
This opening touch, which unites the human soul with the universe, is followed by another which emphasizes the truth of organized creation and deliberate planning to which God has sworn by the heaven and the night visitor. The early stages of man’s creation constitute a proof of this fact and suggest that man is not forgotten as something insignificant: “Let man then reflect: of what he is created. He is created of gushing water; he issues from between the loins and the chest bones.” (Verses 5-7)
Inson o'zining kelib chiqishini va uning nimaga aylanganini o'ylab ko'rsin. Kelib chiqishi bilan yakuniy mahsul o'rtasida juda katta masofa bor: otilib chiqqan suv bilan aql-idrokli, oqilona fikrlaydigan, murakkab organik, nevrologik, ruhiy va psixologik tizimlarga ega bo'lgan inson o'rtasidagi farq. Shu ulkan masofaga, ya'ni otilib chiqqan suv muloqot qila oladigan mavjudotga aylanish uchun bosib o'tadigan yo'liga ishora qilinishi, insonning kuch doirasidan tashqarida turgan bir qudrat borligini anglatadi. Ana shu shakli yo'q va kuchsiz suyuqlikni o'zining ajoyib va hayratlanarli sayohati davomida harakatga keltirib, oxir-oqibat uning ulug'vor yakuniy shaklga kirishini ta'minlaydigan kuch mavjud. Bu esa, o'sha nam urug'ni asrash va uni ajoyib sayohati davomida yo'naltirish uchun Alloh tomonidan tayinlangan bir qo'riqchi borligini bildiradi.
Let man consider his origins and what has become of him. It is a very wide gulf which divides the origins from the final product, the gushing water from man the intelligent, rational being with his highly sophisticated organic, neurological, mental and psychological systems. The reference to this great gulf which the gushing water crosses in order to be made into a communicating being suggests that there is a power beyond the province of man which moves that shapeless and powerless fluid along its remarkable and impressive journey until it is shaped into its magnificent ultimate form. It implies that there is a guardian appointed by God to look after that moist germ, and to guide it through its remarkable journey.
Bu urug'lantiruvchi hujayra, uning har bir otilishida millionlab bo'lsa-da, mikroskop ostida zo'rg'a ko'rinadi. U hech qanday tayanchi, aqli yoki irodasi bo'lmagan mavjudotdir. Ammo u bachadonga o'rnashishi bilanoq ozuqa qidirishga kirishadi. Tangri ning qo'riqlovchi qo'li unga shunday xususiyat beradiki, u o'zi atrofidagi bachadon qatlamini qon hovuziga aylantiradi va shu tariqa unga yangi oziq-ovqat ta'minlaydi. Oziqning mavjudligiga ishonch hosil qilgach, u yangi hujayralar hosil qilish uchun uzluksiz bo'linish jarayonini boshlaydi. Aqli ham, irodasi ham bo'lmagan, shaklsiz va kuchsiz bu mavjudot o'zi nima qilayotganini va nimani xohlayotganini aniq biladi. Uni kuzatib turgan qo'riqlovchi qo'l unga o'z yo'lini bilish uchun yo'l-yo'riq, bilim, kuch va irodani beradi. U yangi hosil bo'lgan har bir hujayralar guruhini inson tanasining ajoyib tuzilmasining bir qismini qurishga ixtisoslashtirish vazifasi bilan yuklangan. Bir guruh skelet hosil qilishga kirishadi; boshqa guruh mushaklarni shakllantiradi; uchinchisi asab tizimini, to'rtinchisi limfa tizimini. Inson tuzilmasining har bir asosiy qismiga ham xuddi shunday. Ammo masala shu qadar oddiy emas: u yuqoriroq darajadagi ixtisoslashuvni o'z ichiga oladi, chunki har bir suyak, har bir mushak va har bir asab boshqalaridan o'ziga xos va farqlidir. Tuzilma aniq rejalashtirilgan va keng ko'lamli vazifalarga ega. Shuning uchun har bir hujayralar guruhi bu tuzilmani qurishdagi belgilangan vazifasini bajarar ekan, u umumiy tizimdagi o'ziga xos vazifaga ega bo'lgan ixtisoslashgan bo'linmalarga ajralishni o'rganadi. Har bir kichik hujayra o'z yo'lini, manzilini va vazifasini bilgan holda harakat qiladi. Ko'zni hosil qilish vazifasi topshirilgan hujayralar ko'z yuzda bo'lishi kerakligini, uni qorin, oyoq yoki qo'lda joylashtirib bo'lmasligini biladi, garchi bu joylarning har biri ko'z hosil qilish uchun mos joy bo'lsa ham. Agar ko'z yasash vazifasi yuklangan birinchi hujayra yo'ldan chetga og'ib, bu joylarning biriga joylashganda, u o'z vazifasini bajargan bo'lar va o'sha yerda ko'z yasagan bo'lardi. Lekin u o'z vazifasiga kirishganda, ko'z uchun belgilangan aniq joyga to'g'ri boradi. Xo'sh, bu hujayraga bu tuzilmaning ko'zi aynan shu joyda bo'lishi kerakligini kim aytgan? Uni boshqaradigan, himoya qiladigan va unga yo'lini ko'rsatadigan — hamma narsani kuzatib turuvchi Yagona Egamiz, Allohdir.
This one fertilizing cell, of which there are millions in every gush, is hardly visible under the microscope. It is a creature without support, reason or will. But as soon as it settles in the womb it proceeds to search for food. The guarding hand of God equips it with a quality which enables it to convert the lining of the womb around it into a pool of blood, thus supplying it with fresh nourishment. Once it is sure of the availability of food it starts another process of continuous division to produce new cells. This shapeless and powerless creature which has no reason or will, knows exactly what it is doing and what it wants. The guarding hand watching over it provides it with guidance, knowledge, power and will to enable it to know its way. It is charged with the task of making every group of newly produced cells specialize in building a part of the magnificent structure of the human body. One group proceeds to produce the skeleton; another group forms the muscles; a third the nervous system; a fourth the lymphatic system. The same applies to every major part of the human structure. But the matter is not as simple as that: it involves a higher degree of specialization; for every bone, every muscle and every nerve is unique and dissimilar to every other. The structure is accurately planned, and has a wide range of functions. Hence, as every group of cells proceeds to fulfil its appointed task in building this structure, it learns to break up into specialized subdivisions, each having its particular function in the general set up. Every little cell proceeds knowing its way, destination and function. Those cells entrusted with the task of forming the eye know that the eye must be in the face, and that it cannot be situated in the abdomen or the foot or the arm, despite the fact that any of these localities is a suitable place for forming an eye. If the first cell charged with making the eye was taken off course and planted in any of these localities, it would have fulfilled its mission and made an eye there. But when it sets out on its mission it simply goes to the exact spot specified for the eye. Who then has told this cell that this structure needs its eye to be in that particular spot? It is God the watching Guardian who guides it, looks after it and shows it its way.
Barcha hujayralar alohida va birgalikda, hujayralar ichida ishlaydigan ma'lum elementlar belgilagan doira ichida ishlaydi. Bu elementlar genlar deb ataladi; ular turning umumiy xususiyatlarini hamda ota-bobolarning o'ziga xos belgilarini saqlab qoladi. Ko'z hujayrasi ko'zni hosil qilish uchun bo'linib ko'payganda, u shu bilan birga shaklini va o'ziga xos xususiyatlarini saqlashga intiladi, shunda u hayvonning ko'zi emas, balki inson ko'zi bo'lib chiqadi. Bundan tashqari, u shunday inson ko'zini hosil qilishga intiladiki, uning ota-bobolari ko'zlarini ajratib turadigan muayyan xususiyat va belgilarga ega bo'lgan bo'lsin. Ko'zni loyihalashda, shakl yoki sifatda eng kichik xato bo'lsa ham, hosil bo'layotgan hujayrani o'z yo'lidan chetga chiqarib yuboradi. Unday bo'lsa, o'zining aqli, irodasi va kuchi bo'lmagan bu ahamiyatsiz hujayraga kuch, qobiliyat va bilimni kim bergan? Uni loyihalashni va butun insoniyat hech qachon loyihalay olmaydigan yoki ishlab chiqara olmaydigan narsani ishlab chiqarishni o'rgatgan — Allohdir. Chunki inson ko'zni yoki uning bir qismini loyihalay olmaydi, hatto bu vazifa yuklatilgan taqdirda ham; holbuki tanadagi ahamiyatsiz bir hujayra yoki hujayralar guruhi bu buyuk vazifani bajara oladi.
All the cells work individually and collectively within a framework set for them by certain elements functioning inside the cells. These elements are known as the genes which preserve the general characteristics of the species and the distinctive traits of the parents and forefathers. When the eye cell divides and proliferates in order to form the eye, it endeavours at the same time to preserve its shape and particular features so that it turns out to be a human eye and not the eye of an animal. Furthermore, it endeavours to make it an eye of a human whose forefathers had certain features and characteristics distinguishing their eyes. The slightest error in designing that eye, whether in shape or qualities, forces the forming cell out of its set course. So who has endowed power, ability and knowledge to this insignificant cell which has no reason, will or power of its own? It is God who taught it to design and produce what all mankind can never design or produce. For man cannot design an eye or a part of it, even if charged with this task, while an insignificant cell or group of cells in the body can accomplish this great mission.
Bu, suvdek otilib chiqadigan suyuqlikdan nutq qila oladigan insongacha bo‘lgan ajoyib yo‘lning faqat ba’zi qismlariga qisqacha nazar tashlashdir. Lekin turli a’zolar va tizimlarning fiziologik faoliyatida juda ko‘p ajoyib hodisalar mavjud. Ularni bu asarning doirasida batafsil bayon qilish mumkin emas, ammo ularning barchasi puxta rejalashtirilganlik va tartibga solinganlikning dalilidir hamda Xudoning himoya qiluvchi, yordam beruvchi va yo‘naltiruvchi qudratli qo‘lining izini o‘zida aks ettiradi. Ular surada qasam ichilgan birinchi haqiqatni — osmon va tungi kelguvchi bilan qasam ichilganini — ta’kidlaydi hamda keyingi haqiqatga, ya’ni Qur’on birinchi bo‘lib muxotab qilgan butparastlar inkor etgan qiyomat (tirilish) haqidagi haqiqatga zamin tayyorlaydi.
This is merely a quick glance at parts of the remarkable journey which transforms the gushing water into the communicative human being. But there is indeed a great multitude of wonders in the physiological functions of the various organs and systems. It is beyond the scope of this work to trace these wonders but they all constitute evidence of elaborate planning and organization and bear the stamp of God’s guarding, helping and guiding hand. They emphasize the first fact in the sūrah sworn to by the heaven and the night visitor, and prepare for the next fact, namely, the resurrection, which was denied by the idolaters who were among the first to be addressed by the Qur’ān.
“Xudo uni qaytarishga qodirdir. Vijdonlar sinovga tortiladigan kunda inson ojiz qoladi, unga hech kim yordamchi bo‘lmaydi.” (8-10-oyatlar) Uni yaratgan va unga g‘amxo‘rlik qilgan Xudo, o‘limdan so‘ng uni tiriltirishga qodirdir. Birinchi yaratilish Uning qudratining, shuningdek, Uning mukammal rejasi va tartibining dalilidir. Agar har bir kishiga adolatli mukofotini berish uchun qaytish bo‘lmasa, bu nihoyatda murakkab va donolik bilan yaratilgan olam behuda bo‘lib qolardi. “Vijdonlar sinovga tortiladigan kunda.” (9-oyat). Qur’on ishlatgan arabcha “tublā” va “sarā’ir” so‘zlari vijdon va sinov tushunchalaridan ancha kengroq ma’nolarni anglatadi. Ular inson qalbining sirlar xavfsiz saqlanadigan qismi ochiladi, tekshiriladi va fosh etiladi, xuddi tungi mehmon qorong‘ulik pardasini yorib kirganidek, degan ma’noni bildiradi. Ko‘p qatlamli pardalar ostida yashirilgan qalbga qo‘riqchi kuzatuvchi kirib borganidek, sirlar tekshiriladi va inson o‘zini ojiz hamda yordamsiz his qiladi.
“God is well able to bring him back [to life]. On the day when consciences are tried, man shall be helpless, with no supporter.” (Verses 8-10) God, who has created him and looked after him, is well able to bring him back to life after death. The first creation is evidence of His ability as well as His elaborate planning and organization. Unless there is a return in order to accord everyone his or her fair reward then this highly sophisticated and wise creation would be in vain. “On the day when consciences are tried.” (Verse 9). The Arabic terms, tublā and sarā’ir used by the Qur’ān have much wider connotations than conscience and trial. They suggest that that part of the human soul where secrets are safely deposited will be thrown open, searched and exposed in the same way as the night visitor penetrates the covering darkness of the night. As the guarding watcher penetrates through the soul hidden under multiple covers, secrets are examined and man finds himself powerless and without support:
"Inson yordamchisiz, hech kimsasiz qoladi." (10-oyat) Himoyasiz, kuch-qudratsiz turish vaziyatning zo‘riqishi va qiyinchiliklarini yanada oshiradi. Bu o‘quvchi idrokiga chuqur ta’sir qiladi, chunki matn koinot va inson ruhi haqidan insonning yaratilishi va uning ajoyib yo‘liga o‘tadi, va nihoyat, uning sirlari fosh bo‘lib, u yolg‘iz, kuchsiz, hech qanday tayanchsiz qolgan paytga yetib keladi.
“Man shall be helpless, with no supporter.” (Verse 10) Standing bare without cover and strength adds to the strains and hardships of the situation. This has a deep effect on the reader’s perception, as it moves from talking of the universe and the human soul to man’s creation and his remarkable journey, until he reaches the end when his secrets are exposed and he stands alone, powerless, without support.
