Commentary:
"Do they think," the verse appears to tell disbelievers, "that they have been created without a cause or purpose, or that they are their own creators?" If that is not the case and God is their Creator, and their creation serves a noble and sublime purpose, and the Quran has been revealed to help them to attain that noble object, then why do they not accept it?"
