فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْقَـٰدِرُونَ Qur’an Al-Mursalat (77:23)
Faqadarn a faniAAma alq a diroon a
Thus have We determined [the nature of man's creation]: and excellent indeed is Our power to determine [what is to be]!8
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

The process of man's coming into being (illustrated, for instance, in {23:12-14}) clearly points to God's creative activity and, hence, to His existence. Consequently, lack of gratitude on man's part amounts to what the Qur'an describes as "giving the lie to the truth".

We have estimated its term - how excellent an estimator We are!
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
We 'perfectly' ordained 'its development'. How excellent are We in doing so!
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

For We do determine (according to need); for We are the Best to determine (things)! 5874
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Perhaps the life in the womb, in relation to the life after birth, is an allegory for our probationary life on earth in relation to the eternal Life to come. Perhaps, also, our state when we are buried in the tomb suggests an allegory to the life in the womb, in relation to the life in the Hereafter.
