The Creation of Man in the Holy Quran

(1) O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer.

(2) It is He who created you from clay and then decreed a term and a specified time [known] to Him; then [still] you are in dispute.

(98) And it is He who produced you from one soul and [gave you] a place of dwelling and of storage. We have detailed the signs for a people who understand.

(199) Take what is given freely, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant.

(5) O People, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed - that We may show you. And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.

(12) And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.

(13) Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging.

(14) Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.

(20) And of His signs is that He created you from dust; then, suddenly you were human beings dispersing [throughout the earth].

(21) And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

(54) Allah is the one who created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength, then made after strength weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills, and He is the Knowing, the Competent.

(7) Who perfected everything which He created and began the creation of man from clay.

(8) Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained.

(9) Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.

(11) And Allah created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop; then He made you mates. And no female conceives nor does she give birth except with His knowledge. And no aged person is granted [additional] life nor is his lifespan lessened but that it is in a register. Indeed, that for Allah is easy.

(6) He created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted?

(47) And [mention] when they will argue within the Fire, and the weak will say to those who had been arrogant, "Indeed, we were [only] your followers, so will you relieve us of a share of the Fire?"

(21) And they will say to their skins, "Why have you testified against us?" They will say, "We were made to speak by Allah, who has made everything speak; and He created you the first time, and to Him you are returned.

(11) [He is] Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you from yourselves, mates, and among the cattle, mates; He multiplies you thereby. There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

(45) And that He creates the two mates - the male and female -

(14) While He has created you in stages?

(36) Does man think that he will be left neglected?

(37) Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

(38) Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

(39) And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

(2) Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.

(20) Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?

(21) And We placed it in a firm lodging

(22) For a known extent.

(23) And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine.

(18) From what substance did He create him?

(19) From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;

(7) Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

(8) In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

(5) So let man observe from what he was created.

(6) He was created from a fluid, ejected,

(7) Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

(4) We have certainly created man in the best of stature;

(5) Then We return him to the lowest of the low,

(2) Created man from a clinging substance.
