يا ايها الناس ان كنتم في ريب من البعث فانا خلقناكم من تراب ثم من نطفة ثم من علقة ثم من مضغة مخلقة وغير مخلقة لنبين لكم ونقر في الارحام ما نشاء الى اجل مسمى ثم نخرجكم طفلا ثم لتبلغوا اشدكم ومنكم من يتوفى ومنكم من يرد الى ارذل العمر لكيلا يعلم من بعد علم شييا وترى الارض هامدة فاذا انزلنا عليها الماء اهتزت وربت وانبتت من كل زوج بهيج ٥
O humanity! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then ˹know that˺ We did create you1 from dust, then from a sperm-drop,2 then ˹developed you into˺ a clinging clot,3 then a lump of flesh4—fully formed or unformed5—in order to demonstrate ˹Our power˺ to you. ˹Then˺ We settle whatever ˹embryo˺ We will in the womb for an appointed term, then bring you forth as infants, so that you may reach your prime. Some of you ˹may˺ die ˹young˺, while others are left to reach the most feeble stage of life so that they may know nothing after having known much. And you see the earth lifeless, but as soon as We send down rain upon it, it begins to stir ˹to life˺ and swell, producing every type of pleasant plant.
'Humble beginnings' is what comes to my mind when I read this verse. What really is there to be proud or arrogant about? The clear description of how I came to be is all written in this verse and it also ends with all the possible endings according to Allah's will. This verse calls for humility, it shows the true fragility of humans and what we are made up of. When you think of how fragile we are it makes you wonder how/why we do not rely on Alla...
Whenever I read this ayah it fills me with so much awe and inspiration. This ayah calls anyone into question who does not believe in the last day and the resurrection and Allah swt provides proof for his claims by laying out something that people did not know at that time. Knowledge of how an embryo grows and the stages that it goes through was not something that the Quraysh had 1400 years ago and so Allah swt gave them the insight into how we a...
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,
I have come to Surah Al Hajj, and I found myself repeating this ayah over and over again. A lengthy ayah about how Allah SWT has created mankind, the state of mankind, life and death, the stages of the creation of mankind. Some people die young, some people reach old age and become child like and forgetful. Some die in the womb.
Over 1400 years ago, did the Quraysh have this sci...
(The earth that was once lifeless but when Allah send rain down upon it) : (the earth) shook , rose and sprouted..{22:5} ٱهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَأَنۢبَتَتْ
When you put water in the soil , very slowly at one point the earth shakes because the plant is about to sprout and tiny particles of soil begin to move out . Then it (the earth) rises just a bit before it fully sprouts. And once it sprouts ; life begins. Everytime the earth shakes , rises and...

Again, another re-emerging theme, the way Allah gives life to the dead. In essence, every creation of Allah and every cycle of life is directly linked to His might and thus a reason for the justice we see on earth. We see in all of these processes that they are fair and measured. And the way that the creation testifies to His Justice. #SuratAlHaj
Anas b. Mâlik narrates that the Prophet (saws) said: 'Allah, Mighty and Majestic, appointed an Angel in the womb who says: ‘O my Lord, a drop of semen; O my Lord, a clinging clot; O my Lord, a lump of flesh.’ Then when He wishes to decree its form, the Angel asks: ‘Male or female? Doomed or prosperous? What is its provision? What is its lifespan?’ He then writes it down in the womb of its mother.' [Agreed upon: Narrated by al-Bukhari (6595), and ...
