أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى (75:34)  | 
ثُمَّ أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى (75:35)  | 
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى (75:36) 
I.e., without being held morally responsible for his doings.(Quran Ref: 75:36 )

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَى (75:37)  | 
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّى (75:38) 
For this rendering of sawwa, see note 1 on 87:2 and note 5 on 91:7. The stress on God's creating man after he had been a germ-cell is a metonym for His endowing the (originally) lowly organism with what is described as a "soul".(Quran Ref: 75:38 )

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى (75:39)  | 
أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى (75:40)  |

DOES the human, then, think that s/he is to be left to her/himself to go about at will?
