Sol 5.6

  1. The deniers say, “From dust—

    can the return come? This is a far-fetched creation.”

  2. Then say, “Though we ourselves were created

    from clinging clots, and the newborn grew complete,

  3. the father of humankind was indeed formed from dust.

    Are we not destined to return to dust tomorrow?

  4. Does not the crop spring forth from dust,

    and from its emergence come leaves and stalks?

  5. From it, grain and fruits grow sweet,

    as we have flourished; there is no lifelessness in it.

  6. Flowers bloom, and beings endowed with spirits

    like ours; and worms are created from it.

  7. How many wondrous creatures God possesses

    besides us! Wonder encompasses all existence.

  8. Yet the son of Adam lives in delusion,

    making a claim that no witnesses support.”
