📝Let's Better Know the Quran: Human Creation from Clay
💢The Quran contains verses that refer to the creation of humans. These verses were revealed to a person 1400 years ago, who was illiterate.
After hundreds of years, in the 21st century, with the science of embryology and equipped imaging devices, humans discovered the stages of fetal development and their correlation with the holy verses. This proves that the Quran is the word of God, and humans in that era were not capable of understanding these matters.

🔹The Quran uses various expressions regarding the creation of humans.
🔸In Surah Al-Rum, verse 20, it says: "And He created you from dust."
🔻In Surah As-Sajdah, verse 7, it says: "And He began the creation of man from clay."
🔻In Surah As-Saffat, verse 11, it says: "Indeed, We created humans from a clinging [mud]."
🔻And in Surah Al-Insan, verse 2, it mentions the creation of humans from a mingled drop.
🔹However, the verses in Surah Al-Imran (3:12-14) describe the stages of fetal development.
Let's examine closely that these verses were revealed by God to His messenger 1400 years ago, which describes one of the miracles of creation.
Something that today's science has proven cannot be the saying of a human being, and it is certainly pure the word of God.

🔻In verses 12 and 13 and 14 of Surah Al-Imran, the stages of fetal development are explained.
🔹It is important to note that these verses were revealed by God to His messenger 1400 years ago, which describes one of the miracles of creation.
What today's science has proven cannot be the saying of a human being, and it is certainly the pure word of God.
🔻In verse 12, "And We created man from a [mischient] clay."
The creation of humans from the essence of clay.
🔻In verse 13, "Then We made him a drop in a secure place."
Then We placed him as a drop in a secure place (the womb), which refers to the specific location of the womb in the human body.
In fact, it is placed in the most protected point of the body, fully under protection.
The spine from one side, the strong pelvic bone from the other, as well as the numerous coverings of the abdomen, all testify to this secure place.
🔹Then, it refers to the astonishing and surprising course of the drop in the mother's womb and the various forms of creation that appear one after the other in that secure and inaccessible place for humans. It says: (Then We made the drop into a clinging [mud], and then the clinging into a mass, and the mass into bones, and then We covered the bones with flesh.)
(ثم خلقنا النطفه علقه فخلقنا العلقه مضغه فخلقنا المضغه عظاما فکسونا العظام لحما) These four different stages, plus the stage of being a drop, constitute five stages, each of which has its own strange world, full of wonders that are precisely studied in embryology and books are written about it.
But when the Quran spoke of these different stages of human fetal development and their wonders, there was no knowledge of this science.
🔹For example, in the second stage, which refers to the stages of fetal development, the word used to describe the fetus at this stage is "علقه" (ʿalaqah).
When referring to "علقه" in the Dehkhoda Dictionary or its translation into English, it has three separate meanings: a clot of blood, suspended or hanging, or clinging.
All three meanings have a special connection with the fetus at that time.
In the third week of fetal development, the heart and blood vessels connect to form the cardiovascular system, and blood begins to circulate on the 21st day.
Regarding the meaning of hanging or clinging, the first thing that comes to mind is the umbilical cord.
Today we know that the umbilical cord forms from a continuous stalk, and this stalk forms along with the development of the fetus, and embryologists compare this stalk to a suspension that holds the fetus, with a very strong resemblance to a clot of blood (علقه).
On the 25th day of fetal development, the fetus looks very similar to a زالو (zālu). X-ray images of the fetus and زالو at this stage are astonishing, and the resemblance of the fetus's head and other parts of the body to a زالو is truly extraordinary, which the holy verses of the Quran have mentioned.
While scientists say that the description of the fetus in the Quran is based on the knowledge of the seventh century AH and is completely impossible, the only logical conclusion is that these details were revealed to the Prophet (peace be upon him) by God.

🔹And at the end of the verse, it refers to the last stage, which is in fact the most important stage of human creation, with a comprehensive and meaningful expression: (ثم انشاناه خلقا آخر) Then We created him a new creation.
(فتبا رک الله احسن الخالقین) Blessed is Allah, the best of creators.
Praise be to the unparalleled power that depicts such a beautiful image with all its wonders in the darkness of the womb from a drop of water.
🔸Praise be to the knowledge and wisdom that creates such potential, fitness, and worth in such an insignificant being.
Praise be to Him and His unparalleled creation.
(فتبا رک الله احسن الخالقین)
