الآية رقم (2) - خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ

(2) - (Created man from a clinging substance (2))

عَلَقٍ: (Clinging substance): It is the first stage of human creation through reproduction. The origin of man’s creation is: water, soil, clod and clay which indicates the perfection of power. But Allah (swt) addresses people with what they understand and what they see of the creation process. People in general did not witness the creation of the first person – from clay, rather, they know the process of reproduction, mating, and the transfer of sperm from male loin to woman’s womb. This is a known issue that has been proven by experimental science in contrast to the first creation process that cannot be subject to scientific experiment.

Had not Allah (swt) being the one who told us about, we would not have known it.

{ مَّا أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ }

(I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, (Al-Kahf: 15)

Of course, what is meant is the first creation.
