Surah Al-Waqiah 56: - (The Imminent Event)

With the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most-Merciful

We have created you; then why do you not appreciate it as true? [57]
So, tell Me about the semen you drop (in the wombs): [58]
Is it you who create it, or are We the Creator? [59]

COMMENTARY: With Verse 57 begins a series of arguments in support of Allah's Oneness and His power to raise the dead. The first argument in the current verse is taken from the very subtle and wonderful phenomenon of man's birth, starting with a drop of semen and developing into a fully-fledged human being - the crown of all creation. Humans stop at thinking that male-female cohabitation in the process of their creation is the ultimate or real cause. Therefore, the Qur'an poses the question in verse [58]: "tell Me about the semen you drop in the wombs: Is it you who create it, or are We the Creator?"

In other words, a male plays a very insignificant biological role in the birth of a child in that he delivers a drop of microscopic semen in the womb of a female to combine with the microscopic ovum. Once this is done, it goes through several stages of growth and development without anyone, besides Allah, knowing what is happening. Eventually it forms into a foetus with a bone-structure. The skeleton is then clothed with flesh and skin. The soul is infused into it and the little universe [microcosm] comes into being with various systems: The nutritive and digestive system, the blood and the circulatory system, a system of human senses [sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste] and communication and the ability to think and understand. Man thus becomes a moving factory, and in none of these biological processes he has any say.

MOTHERS

Why do we have this strength??
The Almighty has given it to us…..
To handle anything and everything
To carry babies in our bodies
To give birth through excruciating circumstances
To become mothers and give up our lives for the sake of our children

Then it is all about our children’s needs and wants
We love them
We raise them
We keep them safe from harm
We protect them any and all kinds of danger
We try and hold onto them forever…..

They get older
They go to school
They become teenagers
Then they become adults
Yet we as mothers still treat them as our “babies”
We cannot let them go

What do we really want for them?
Always the best
Never to feel pain
To not be hurt in any way
To be educated
To be successful
To be happy
To have peace
To love and be loved

We try our best to hold them close
To have them near
That is not always possible
They want to grow
They want to live their lives
There are no guarantees in life
And nothing is certain
All we can do is try our best
