“And indeed We created man from
an extract of clay. Then We placed him as a drop of sperm in a firm resting
place. Then We fashioned the drop into a clinging clot, and We fashioned the
clot into a lump [of flesh], and We fashioned the lump into bones; then We
clothed the bones with flesh. Then We developed him into another creation. So
blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators.”
(Al-Mu’minun, 23: 13-15)
Man receives life when he is formed in his
mother’s womb, and he is sent to Earth with a gift from Allah called the soul,
which grants him an eternal connection with his Creator. The Holy Qur’an says:
“Then He (Allah) proportioned him and breathed into him of His spirit; and He gave you (humans) hearing and sight and hearts. Little are you grateful!” (As-Sajda 32: 10)
