Stages of Human Creation in the Holy Quran

(21) O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous -

(28) How can you disbelieve in Allah when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life, and then to Him you will be returned.

(30) And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."

(36) But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that [condition] in which they had been. And We said, "Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time."

(6) It is He who forms you in the wombs however He wills. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

(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.

(28) And Allah wants to lighten for you [your difficulties]; and mankind was created weak.

(56) Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them into a Fire. Every time their skins are roasted through We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.

(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.

(172) And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."

(7) And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and His Throne had been upon water - that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed. But if you say, "Indeed, you are resurrected after death," those who disbelieve will surely say, "This is not but obvious magic."

(26) And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.

(4) He created man from a sperm-drop; then at once, he is a clear adversary.

(70) And Allah created you; then He will take you in death. And among you is he who is reversed to the most decrepit [old] age so that he will not know, after [having had] knowledge, a thing. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Competent.

(78) And Allah has extracted you from the wombs of your mothers not knowing a thing, and He made for you hearing and vision and intellect that perhaps you would be grateful.

(70) And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference.

(37) His companion said to him while he was conversing with him, "Have you disbelieved in He who created you from dust and then from a sperm-drop and then proportioned you [as] a man?

(51) I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.

(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.

(45) Allah has created every [living] creature from water. And of them are those that move on their bellies, and of them are those that walk on two legs, and of them are those that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.

(19) Have they not considered how Allah begins creation and then repeats it? Indeed that, for Allah, is easy.

(11) Allah begins creation; then He will repeat it; then to Him you will be returned.

(19) He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. And thus will you be brought out.

(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.

(36) And for those who disbelieve will be the fire of Hell. [Death] is not decreed for them so they may die, nor will its torment be lightened for them. Thus do we recompense every ungrateful one.

(77) And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

(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?

(57) The creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of mankind, but most of the people do not know.

(67) It is He who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot; then He brings you out as a child; then [He develops you] that you reach your [time of] maturity, then [further] that you become elders. And among you is he who is taken in death before [that], so that you reach a specified term; and perhaps you will use reason.

(68) He it is who gives life and causes death; and when He decrees a matter, He but says to it, "Be," and it is.

(12) And who created the species, all of them, and has made for you of ships and animals those which you mount.

(13) O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.

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

(46) From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

(19) Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

(20) When evil touches him, impatient,

(21) And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

(17) And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.

(18) Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.

(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.

(8) And We created you in pairs

(17) Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.

(18) From what substance did He create him?

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

(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.
