Transliteration:( Khalaqal insaana min 'alaq )
3. All the people, or you, O Chief of the universe, who is the object of creation, and of whose creation the Hand of the Creator is proud.
4. In that He created from the sand nourishment, from nourishment blood, from blood sperm and from sperm a piece of meat. From it He structured the human body. Thus, there is no inconsistency in the verses. It should be remembered that the law of creation is being mentioned from which Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) and Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) are excluded because the creation reflects the power of Allah Almighty. Or, could mean that blood is being produced from nourishment throughout life.
From blood, flesh is produced which helps in the growth of the body. In this Hazrat Adam and Hazrat Isa (On them be peace) are included. In this verse it is being hinted that just as Allah Almighty, by means of the soul creates a lofty and pure human being from insignificant and impure blood, likewise, O My Beloved! Through your medium I will produce from the present degenerate people of Makkah people of such moral loftiness and purity from whom will be flowing fountains of Shariah and Tareeqat (mystical knowledge).
The tafsir of Surah Alaq verse 2 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Alaq ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 5.
(96:2) created man from a clot of congealed blood.[4]
4. After making mention generally of the creation of the universe, mention has been made of man in particular, saying how Allah made him a perfect man starting his creation from an insignificant and humble state. Alaq is plural of alaqah, which means congealed blood. This is the primary state of the embryo which appears a few days after conception. Then it assumes the form of a lump of flesh, then afterwards it gradually takes human shape. For details, see (Surah Al-Hajj, Ayat 5) (specifically notes 5-7).
