77. Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent.
Allah challenges man that He created life from that despised fluid (semen) so why can He not from a piece of bone? Indeed man has much arrogance when he challenges Allah. As if Allah is saying, He comes from a fluid and an origin that he himself does not want to think about, and he comes to us and challenges us about this bone and does he himself not see where he came from!
This powerful concept is a refutation of every single atheist that exists today. You yourself are a living proof of Allah‟s existence but you are blind and you can‟t see the proofs.
78. And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?"
What is the reference here? To Al-Aas ibn Waa‟il who came to the Prophet (s) and waived the bone in front of his face and said oh Mohammed, do you really believe that Allah will cause this bone to come back to life after it has decayed? This ayah is thus about the arrogance of this man. The Prophet (s) responded, I swear by Allah, Allah will cause this bone to be resurrected just like He will cause you to die and resurrect and cause you to go to Hell!
79. Say: (O Muhammad ) "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time!
And He is the All-Knower of every creation!"
And Allah says that the creation of the heavens and the earth is a bigger feat than the creation of the man, if you really want miracles, the miracle of the heavens, the constellations and the stars is bigger than the creation of man. Indeed, Allah has created the creation and He will Create it all over and over again and it will be easier for Him. Ibn Abbas: Nothing is difficult for Allah, even if difficult it will be easy for Him within a second

80. He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith.
Allah speaks about the beauty of creation in the magnificent colors that are seen; the blue waters that feel the green trees that can burn to give the red fire. And Allah asks who Else could do all this but Him? And indeed for Him He can surely bring back the dead to life. We return to our main motif that Surah Yasin is about resurrection.
81. Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator.
Al-Khalaaq is the one creating, recreating, creating and recreating always. Why the reference of All-Knowing? Because there is no Creation without Knowledge of it, thus He is Al-Aleem.
So how than can you deny the Signs of Allah when they are all around you, and how can you deny the resurrection?
82. Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is!
“Innama“ is exclusivity, meaning all He needs to do
No other creation and no other false deity or object has the power or will to do so. This is The Ultimate Creator.
83. So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.
Why is the word, “Subhana” used? Remember that it is use to negate Allah from a negative. Yes, you and the non-believers deny that Allah can Re-Create and Resurrect, No! Subhana! Allah is far exalted and above such stupid claims. Even if you deny resurrection, you can not deny that you will return to Allah. No one can deny this return. Think about this reality and your end when you will return to Him.
BENEFITS FROM THIS SECTION
1. How arrogant is man to deny the power of Allah when he himself is a living testimony to that power.
It is the height of arrogance to question Allah when ignoring your own origins, your capability, your life

and your own power. Atheists in particular are being spoken to here: how dare they challenge Allah‟s existence when their own existence is a testament to Allah
2. The issue of the proofs for the existence of God: Ibn Taymiyyah was a staunch opponent to all of the proofs of God‟s non-existence during his time. He once told Ibn-ul-Quyyum Al Jawziyyah, how do you expect me to go about finding proofs of Allah when everything around me is a proof of His
existence. Thus in Islam we don‟t waste our time with those who deny Allah‟s existence. To add to this arrogance, Allah indicates that he comes from a drop of despised fluid and now he challenges the existence of Allah.
A nobleman in his society was well-respected, when he would walk by everyone would stand in respect of him but the scholars would not. The man became irritated and approached them, asking, do you know who I am? One scholar responded, yes, you are the one who has come from a drop of despised fluid, now you carry your own defecation inside you, then when you die you will become an ugly body that no one will want to touch and worms will eat. The man was put in his place and silenced.
3. Kibr or arrogance is thus one of the sins that is not forgiven. We thus have no right to be arrogant and humility is a sign of Emaan.
Allah is telling us that there are so many signs around us that indicate Allah‟s power, what is so strange about believing in life after death? Indeed the creation of the heavens and earth is a bigger miracle than the creation of man.
4. Allah does not need to do anything to get the task done, He simply needs to Will it or Intend it without striving as we need to do. Surely a God that is this powerful, majestic is deserving of our ultimate gratitude and praise! “Fa-Subhanaladhi” as Allah begins the last ayah.
5. We worship Allah because of who He is, than and only then because of what He did for us. Even if He did not create us He would be worthy of worship.
