➋ { اِلٰى قَدَرٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ:} “Up to a known measure,” meaning nine months or less or more, the knowledge of which is with Allah Almighty alone—He knows in how many months, days, hours, or minutes the child will be born; no one else has this knowledge.
➌ {فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ الْقٰدِرُوْنَ:} That is, We set a period in which the child’s structure is completed; nothing is made in excess, nor is anything necessary left out. As long as it is necessary for him to remain in the womb, he stays there, and when it is necessary for him to come out, he comes out. We have set this period, and how precise We are in determining! The second translation of {’’ فَقَدَرْنَا ‘‘} can also be “We became able,” meaning We gradually developed a drop of water into a complete and intelligent human being; from this, you can understand how powerful We are. (Ashraf al-Hawashi)
➍ { وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ:} After seeing their own creation from a lowly drop, those who declare the Day of Resurrection impossible and deny it—for them, there is great destruction and ruin on that Day.
