    45. And that He creates the pairs, male and female

    46. From semen when it is emitted [into the womb].

    47. And that upon Him is another creation upon Resurrection.

    The law of conjugality in the system of creation is legislated by God Almighty rather than a convention amongst human beings. It is the secret of survival. If removed, life will lose its vitality and will come to an end. The creation of female and female pairs is one of the wonders and the necessities of life.

    The blessed Verses are saying that God Almighty creates the twain male and female pairs out of the semen emitted into the womb.

    Following an enumeration of attributes regarding Divine Lordship and Fostering, the blessed Verses treat of Resurrection asking:

    "Is not man aware that according to formerly revealed Scriptures, it is upon God Almighty to create another world?"

    The Arabic word nash’a in the blessed Verse 47 denotes creation and fostering something.

    The prepositional phrase:

    "upon him"

    reflects that as God Almighty created man and made him responsible for fulfilling certain obligations and granted them free will and some people are obedient and some disobedient, some are tyrants and some oppressed and none of them received their recompense and the rewards, it is upon the All-Wise Allah to create another creation so that justice be administered.
