The explanation of His saying, the Exalted: مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ ("From what did He create him?") (80:18).
He, exalted is His mention, says: from what did his Lord create the disbelieving man, that he behaves arrogantly and deems himself too great for obedience to his Lord and for the acknowledgment of His oneness (tawḥīd)?
