Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (And We guided him to the two paths)]
Allah the Exalted said: [Surat al-Balad: 10]: There are two opinions regarding the interpretation of this verse. The first opinion is: It means We made clear for him the path of good and the path of evil.
The second opinion: That is: We directed him to the nourishment contained in them, and they are the two breasts, for they are high points due to their elevation above the chest. So Allah the Exalted guided him to them while he was an infant who knew nothing. From the moment he is born and his mother places him, he seeks the breast. Who taught him? It is Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
So Allah, Mighty and Majestic, made clear the end for this human being, so from the moment he is born, he finds his way to the two high points.
And in his mother's womb, he is nourished through the navel; because he is unable to be nourished by any other means. If he were nourished through the mouth, he would need to urinate and defecate, and how could that be possible? But through the navel, blood comes to him from his mother's blood, and it spreads in his veins until he lives until Allah the Exalted permits his birth.
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
