S u rah at-T i n, Chapter 95 106 Commentary If “man” is taken to mean the whole mankind the verse signifies that good precedes evil. This is Islam's main difference with the protagonists of the theory of man’s moral evolution, according to whom evil precedes good. If man is taken as an individual the verse means that God has bestowed upon man great natural faculties and powers and has revealed guidance in order that by making right use of them and following Divinely-revealed guidance he might reach the high destiny intended for him. ā ω Î ) t Ï % © ! $ # ( # θ ã Ζ t Β # u ( # θ è = Ï Η x å u ρ Ï M ≈ y s Î =≈ ¢ Á 9 $ # ó Ο ß γ n = s ù í ô _ r & ç ö x î 5 βθ ã Ψ ø ÿ x Ε ∩∪ [95:7] Save those who believe and do good works; so for them is an unfailing reward. $ y ϑ s ù y 7 ç / É j ‹ s 3 ã ƒ ß ‰ ÷ è t / È Ï e $! $ $ Î / ∩∪ [95:8] Then what is there to give the lie to thee after this with regard to the Judgment?
