Did you think that We Created you as a joke? Meditative Quranic Verses

'AFAHASIBTUM 'ANNAMA KHALAQNAKUM 'ABATHANW -
WA 'ANNAKUM 'ILAYNA LA TURJA'UN?

Did you think that We created you as a joke,

and that you would not be returned to Us?

~ The Qur'an, Chapter of the Faithful 23:115

computer simulation of development of human face within the womb

And truly We, the Divine Authority, has created the human from essence of clay,
Then we placed him as a drop of sperm in (the womb's) secure lodging
Then We made the drop of sperm into a clinging clot,
And We made the clot into a shapeless lump,
Then We made (from) the lump bones
And We covered the bones with flesh
And then We brought (all of this into being as) another creature.
So blessed is Allah, the excellent Creator.

Then surely after that you die.
Then on the Day of Standing (forth from the grave) you are resurrected.

And it is He Who has created for you hearing and sight and hearts.
Little are you thankful!

And it is He Who has multiplied you in the earth, and to Him you will be gathered,

And It is He Who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation between the night and the day. Won't you use your intelligence?

Allah will ask on the Day of Standing, "How many years did you remain on earth?"

People will say, "We stayed a day or a part of a day. Ask those who keep count."

He will say, "You spent but a short time there, if only you knew."

"Did you think that We created you as a joke? and that you would not be returned to Us?"

So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth. There is no deity save Him: Lord of the Seat of Generous Authority.
