9.This means Oh infidels! and rejectors of the Day of Judgement! because the topics
which follow are in accordance with these.
10. This means Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) because creation of the father is indirectly the creation of the children. Or it means a person's creation is from a sperm, the sperm is from blood. the blood is from nourishment, the nourishment is from the sand.
11. In this verse the procedure of the creation of man is described, while in the creation of Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) and Hazrat lesa (On whom be peace) is done by the Hand of Providence. Hence, there is no inconsistency in the verses. This verse cannot be used to prove that Hazrat lesa (On whom be peace) was created from a father, as is understood by the Qadiyanis
12. By this is meant that at first the clot of blood does not have any form, then it assumes form. By this is not meant any miscarried a pregnancy, fashioned or unfashioned because through this, no birth takes place. Hence, the o verse is crystal clear.
13. These are things for you to ponder over, that what you were at conception and what you have become now. How did these changes take place?Â
14. From this we learn that during pregnancy. the period of keeping the foetus is not restricted to any given length of time. This is left entirely to the wishes of the Almighty. Some children remain in the wombs for six months and some as long as two years. In it there is a hint that the mother's womb was not a permanent place of rest for you but a temporary one. Likewise, this world, too, is not a permanent place of abode, but it is just a transitory place which you have to leave. You were placed in the mother's womb so that your physical structure could be fully formed, while in the world for your spiritual development.
15. Upto the first six years the child is called an infant, thereafter he is called SABEE- infant boy (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan).
16. The prime of life is from the time of puberty until the age of thirty, during which one
obtains full maturity.Â
17. Prior to the prime age or after this age comes to an end i.e. some die in their infancy and others in the prime of their age.
18. This means until old age. It should be remembered that the true meaning of age is the habitation of the body.
19. Hazrat Ikramah (May Allah be pleased with him) says any believer who is a habitual reciter of the Holy Qur'aan, will not experience this i.e. worthless age. Hence, the august Prophets and the chosen friends of Allah Almighty are not included in this law. If the blessed Prophets of Allah Almighty in their old age had experienced this condition, then propagation would not have remained obligatory on them and Prophethood would" have been taken away from them. Otherwise, there would have been a possibility of an error in propagation. But these great personalities remain Prophet's by receiving revelation till their very end. Thus these great Prophets are protected from this.
20. This means even if all types of seeds are sown in the ground, but if the ground is not watered, it will remain dry. Likewise, even if a person may perform many deeds, without the blessings, of Prophethood, it would be useless. The earth remaindush green with water and the heart with the blessings of the pious. After Hijrah and prior to the conquest of Makkah, Muslims were deprived from living in this holy city. Migration was obligatory, because although the Ka'ba is the house of Allah Almighty, at that point in time it had not been brightened by the light of Prophethood.

5. O mankind! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then verily, We have created you from dust, then from a Nutfah, then from a clot then from a little lump of flesh — some formed and some unformed — that We may make (it) clear to you. And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term, then We bring you out as infants, then (give you growth) that you may reach your age of full strength. And among you there is he who dies (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And you see the earth Hamidatan, but when We send down water on it, it is stirred (to life), and it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth). 6. That is because Allah: He is the Truth, and it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who is able to do all things. 7. And surely, the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it; and certainly, Allah will resurrect those who are in the graves.
When Allah speaks of disbelief in the Resurrection, He also mentions the evidence of His power and ability to resurrect that is evident from the way He initiates creation. Allah says:
(O mankind! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection,) which means the time when souls and bodies will be raised up on the Day of Resurrection,
(then verily, We have created you from dust,) meaning, `you were originally created from dust’, which is what Adam, peace be upon him, was created from.
(then from a Nutfah,) ﴿32:8﴾ meaning, then He made his offspring from semen of despised water.
(then from a clot then from a little lump of flesh) if the Nutfah establishes itself in the woman’s womb, it stays like that for forty days, then more material is added to it and it changes into a red clot, by the leave of Allah, and it remains like that for forty days. Then it changes and becomes a lump of flesh, like a piece of meat with no form or shape. Then it starts to take on a form and shape, developing a head, arms, chest, stomach, thighs, legs, feet and all its members. Sometimes a woman miscarries before the fetus is formed and sometimes she miscarries after it has formed. As Allah says:
(then from a little lump of flesh — some formed and some unformed) meaning, as you see.
(that We may make (it) clear to you. And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term,) meaning that sometimes the fetus remains in the womb and is not miscarried.
(some formed and some unformed, ) Mujahid said, “This means the miscarried fetus, formed or unformed. When forty days have passed of it being a lump of flesh, then Allah sends an angel to it who breathes the soul into it and forms it as Allah wills, handsome or ugly, male or female. He then writes its provision, its allotted length of life and whether it is to be one of the blessed or the wretched.” It was recorded in the Two Sahihs that Ibn Mas`ud said, “The Messenger of Allah , who is the true and truly inspired one, told us:
(Every one of you is collected in the womb of his mother for the first forty days, and then he becomes a clot for another forty days, and then a lump of flesh for another forty days. Then Allah sends an angel to write four words: He writes his provision, his deeds, his life span, and whether he will be blessed or wretched. Then he blows the soul into him.)”
(then We bring you out as infants,) means, weak in his body, hearing, sight, senses, stamina and mind. Then Allah gives him strength, gradually and causes his parents to treat him with tender kindness night and day. Allah says:
(then (give you growth) that you may reach your age of full strength.) meaning, his strength increases until he reaches the vitality and handsomeness of youth.
(And among you there is he who dies,) means, when he is young and strong.
(and among you there is he who is brought back to the miserable old age,) meaning advanced old age with its weakness in mind and body, in steady decline in comprehension, and disability to grasp. As Allah says:
(so that he knows nothing after having known.)
(Allah is He Who created you in (a state of) weakness, then gave you strength after weakness, then after strength gave (you) weakness and grey hair. He creates what He wills. And it is He Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Powerful.) ﴿30:54﴾
(And you see the earth Hamidatan,) This is another sign of the power of Allah to bring the dead back to life, just as He brings the dead, barren earth back to life, the lifeless earth in which nothing grows. Qatadah said, “(This means) the eroded, dusty earth.” As-Suddi said, “Dead.”
(but when We send down water on it, it is stirred (to life), and it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth).) When Allah sends the rain upon it, it is stirred to life, that is, vegetation begins to grow and it comes alive after it was dead. Then it rises after the soil had settled, then it puts forth its different kinds of fruit and crops with all their varied colours, tastes, fragrances, shapes and benefits. Allah says:
(and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth).) meaning, beautiful in appearance and with delightful fragrances.
(That is because Allah: He is the Truth,) means, the Creator, the Controller, the One Who does as He wills.
(and it is He Who gives life to the dead,) means, just as He gives life to the dead earth and brings forth from it all these kinds of vegetation.
(Verily, He Who gives it life, surely is able to give life to the dead. Indeed He is able to do all things.) ﴿41:39﴾
(Verily, His command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, “Be!” — and it is!) ﴿36:82﴾.
(And surely, the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it;) meaning, it will inevitably come to pass.
(and certainly, Allah will resurrect those who are in the graves.) means, He will bring them back to life after they have become dust; He will create them anew after they have become nothing.
(And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: “Who will give life to these bones after they are rotten and have become dust” Say: “He will give life to them Who created them for the first time! And He is the All-Knower of every creation!” He Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold you kindle there- with.) ﴿36:78-80﴾. And there are many similar Ayat.
(22:5) O mankind! If you have any doubt concerning Resurrection, then know that it is surely We Who created you from dust, then from a drop of sperm,[5] then from a clot of blood, then from a little lump of flesh, some of it shapely and other shapeless.[6] (We are rehearsing this) that We may make the reality clear to you. We cause (the drop of sperm) that We please to remain in the wombs till an appointed time. We bring you forth as infants (and nurture you) that you may come of age. Among you is he that dies (at a young age) and he who is kept back to the most abject age so that after once having known, he reaches a stage when he knows nothing.[7] You see the earth dry and barren and then no sooner than We send down water upon it, it begins to quiver and swell and brings forth every kind of beauteous vegetation.
5. “We have created you from dust, then from a drop of sperm”: The first man Adam was created directly from clay and after him the process of procreation started by means of sperm-drop. This has been stated in Surah AsSajda, Ayats 7-8 as well. It may also mean that man is created from sperm-drop but his body is made of those elements which are all available in the earth.
6. This refers to the different stages of development of the child in the womb of its mother. This description is based on observation and not on scientific research, and there was no need for it for the purpose for which reference to this has been made here.
7. That is, in old age man is again reverted to the same condition in which he was in childhood. He loses his senses and knows little or nothing like a child.
