It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
10. And have We not shown him the two ways? [8]
[8] This verse has two meanings. One is that as soon as a human is born, We guided him to his mother's breasts so that he may grow and develop. In terms of the mention of human organs, this meaning is also correct. The second meaning is that We showed him both the paths of good and evil. This is called the power of discernment and intellect. Then Allah sent prophets and revealed books to fully clarify these paths.
