Does he think he is left alone?

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ٣٦ أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰ ٣٧ ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٣٨ فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ٣٩ أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ٤٠

The meaning, simply

Does man think he will be left without commands and without account? Was he not a small drop of fluid, then a clinging clot, then Allah created and shaped him and made from him male and female? Is not the One who did that able to bring the dead to life? Yes!
