It included many rulings, such as talking about the rituals of Hajj, and permission to wage jihad and fight for the sake of God. It included many issues of faith, Such as monotheism, and proving unseen matters, such as: resurrection, recompense, and the horrors of the Day of Resurrection.
The reason for naming Surah Al-Hajj
Surah Al-Hajj was known by this name during the time of the Prophet - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him -, and no other name was known for it. It was reported on the authority of Uqba bin Aamir, - May God be pleased with him - that he asked the Messenger - peace and blessings be upon him - and he said: (I said: O Messenger of God, is Surah Al-Hajj preferred because it contains two prostrations? He said: Yes.) This surah was given this name. Because God Almighty mentioned the Hajj to His Sacred House in it, and commanded His Prophet Abraham - peace and blessings be upon him - to call for the Hajj to his House, and performing its rites and rituals; Noting that the obligation of Hajj on Muslims was mentioned in verses from Surat Al-Baqarah and Surah Al Imran, and the revelation of Surat Al-Hajj was before the obligation of Hajj on the nation of Islam.
The suitability of Surah Al-Hajj to the surahs before and after it
What came before

It is Surah Al-Mu'minun, Surah Al-Hajj concluded by urging Muslims to adhere to the means of success in this world and the hereafter. By performing what God has enjoined on the believers of worship, such as prayer, zakat, and drawing closer to Him - Glory be to Him - by doing good deeds. Then Surat Al-Mu’minun came to show the success of the believers, which confirms the link between the two surahs.

The began of the interpretation
Allah says
" يا أيها الناس اتقوا ربكم إن زلزلة الساعة شيء عظيم "
“O people, pious your Lord. Indeed, the earthquake of the Hour is a great thing.”
Imam Abu Jaafar Ibn Jarir cited
The basis for whoever said that in the hadith of the trumpet is from the narration of Ismail bin Rafi’, the judge of the people of Medina, on the authority of Yazid bin Abi Ziyad, on the authority of a man from the Ansar, on the authority of Muhammad bin Ka'b Al-Qurazi, on the authority of a man, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - said: “When God finished creating the heavens and the earth, He created the trumpet. So, he gave him Israfil, and he put it on his mouth, keeping his gaze fixed on the throne, waiting when he would be commanded. Abu Hurairah said: O Messenger of God, what is the trumpet? He said: “A horn” He said: So how is it? He said: “A great horn in which three blasts are blown: the first is the blast of terror, the second is the blast of shock, and the third is the blast of standing up for the Lord of the Worlds, God commands Israfil to blow the first blast and says: Blow the blast of terror, then the people of the heavens and the people of the earth will be terrified, except for whom God wills, and He will command him to extend it and lengthen it and not let up, It is the one that God Almighty says: (And these see only one cry, which has no fawaq: The period between the two) [p. 15], So God makes the mountains move, and they become a mirage, and the earth shakes with its people, and it is what God Almighty says: (On the Day when the trembling will tremble, the trembling will follow it. Hearts on that Day will be afraid) [Al-Nazi’at: 6-8] then the earth will be like a ship sinking in the sea, struck by the waves, hitting it with its people, and like a lantern attached to the throne, swung by the spirits. People would stretch out on her back, and the breastfeeding women would be startled, and pregnant women give birth. The children turn gray, and the devils fly away, until the regions come, and the angels meet them and strike their faces, so, it returns, and the people are appointed to turn their backs, calling one another, and this is what God Almighty says: (On the day you turn back, turning back, you will have no protector from Allah. And whoever Allah sends astray will have no guide.) [Ghafir: 32-33] While they were doing that, the earth cracked from one country to another, and they saw a great thing, and they were seized with anguish that God knows best. Then they looked at the sky, and it was like a turbidity of boiling oil, then its sun was eclipsed, and its moon was eclipsed, and its stars were scattered, then it was swept away, The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “And the dead do not know any of that, Abu Hurairah said: Who does God exclude when Allah says: (So whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on earth is terrified except whom God wills) [An-Naml: 87] He said: Those are the martyrs, but the fear only reaches the living. Those are alive with their Lord and are provided with, God protected them from the evil of that day and made them safe. It is God’s punishment that He sends on the worst of His creation, and it is what God says: (O people, fear your Lord. Indeed, the earthquake of the Hour is a great thing. * On the day when you see it, every breastfeeding woman will be astonished at what she has breastfed, and every pregnant woman will lay her pregnant and see the people, they are drunk, but they are not drunk, but the punishment of God is severe.
Al-Tirmidhi said
Ibn Abi Omar told us, Sufyan bin Uyaynah told us, Ibn Jad’an told us, on the authority of Al-Hasan, on the authority of Imran bin Husayn that the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - said: When the verse was revealed: (O people, fear your Lord. Indeed, the earthquake of the Hour is a great thing) until his saying: (But the punishment of God is severe), he said: This was revealed to him while he was on a travel, so he said: “Do you know what day that is? they said Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: “That is the day when God will say to Adam: ‘Send the Fire.’” He said: O Lord, and what created the Fire? He said: Nine hundred and ninety-nine will go to Hell, and one will go to Paradise. then the Muslims started crying, and the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - said: “They approached and saddado: Make sure that your actions are as true as possible, for there was never a prophecy unless it was pre-Islamic in its hands, He said: “Then the number is taken from the pre-Islamic era, and if it is complete, otherwise it is complete from the hypocrites, and the likeness of you and the nations is only like a notch on the arm of an animal, or the mole on the side of the camel.” Then he said: “I hope that you will be a quarter of the people of Paradise.” They said “Allahu Akbar” and then he said: “I hope that you will be a third of the people of Paradise, So they grew up, then he said: “I hope that you will be half the people of Paradise.” So they said: “Allah is great, He said: I do not know whether he said two-thirds or not? Encouraging action and increasing faith was a motivational purpose of Surah Al-Hajj, among its influential verses is also the Almighty’s saying: (O people, a parable has been presented, so listen to it, Indeed, those whom you call upon besides God would not create a fly, even if they gathered together to protect it, And if a fly takes away something from them, they cannot rescue it from it - it is the weakness of the seeker and what is desired).
A view around the verse
The Surah, as I learned, is part of it Meccan and part of it is Medinan, and the Meccan Qur’an is famous for its speech to all people (O people), then it commanded them to fear God and fear Him despite their lack of faith in Him - Glory be to Him - the Most High - Why, because the earthquake of the Hour is a great thing, and the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - among other things he said about the Last Day: “The Hour and I have been sent like these,” and he pointed to his index and middle fingers, As time approached, the difficulties and problems approached and the great earthquakes that wiped some villages off the face of the earth, and other hardships such as wars, increased, In which chemical, biological and other weapons are used, the mother is amazed by her son, and they are miniature images of the horrors of the Day of Resurrection.
Allah says
" يوم ترونها تذهل كل مرضعة عما أرضعت وتضع كل ذات حمل حملها وترى الناس سكارى وما هم بسكارى ولكن عذاب الله شديد "
“The day you see it, every breastfeeding woman will be amazed at what she breastfed, and every pregnant woman will lay down her pregnant, and you will see people drunk, and they are not drunk, but the punishment of God is severe.”
Although she is born to love her child so intensely, especially in this condition, in which he cannot live without it, “and every pregnant woman will give birth to her child” out of extreme fear and terror, and you see people drunk, but they are not drunk.” That is, you think that they - O you who see them - are drunk with wine, and they are not drunk. “But the punishment of God is severe.” therefore he deprived their minds, emptied their hearts, and filled them with fear, and the hearts reached the throats, and the eyes became clear. On that day, no father will suffice for his child, nor will a child suffice for his father, the day of the woman escapes from his brother, his mother, his father, and his companions, and his sons for every one of them, on the day of the one who sings it, and there is the oppressor, and there is the oppressor, oh, my God, I wish I had not taken so-and-so as a friend. then faces will blacken and faces will whiten, and the scales will be set, with which the weight of an atom is weighed, of good and evil, the records of deeds will be published, including all deeds, sayings, and intentions, both small and great, and the Path will be established on the board of Hell. Paradise will be close to the righteous for the righteous, and Hell has become apparent to the transgressors. If it sees them from a far place, they will hear its wrath and howling. And when they find themselves in a narrow place, tied up in it, they will call for destruction there. And it will be said to them: “Do not call upon one day of destruction but pray for many destructions and when they called upon their Lord to bring them out of it, He said, “Be humiliated therein and do not speak to them.” The Most Merciful Lord became angry with them and the painful torment came upon them, And they were deprived of all goodness, and they found all their deeds to be lost, not losing a drop or a drop of it. This, and the righteous, will be in the gardens of Paradise, they reflect on the various types of pleasures, and they abide eternally in what their souls desire. It is appropriate for the wise person, who knows that all of this is before him, to prepare for it, and not to be distracted by hope, So he abandons work, with fear of God being his motto, fear being his cover, and love of God and remembrance of Him being the soul of his deeds.
Allah says
" ومن الناس من يجادل في الله بغير علم ويتبع كل شيطان مريد "
“And among the people are those who argue about God without knowledge and follow every rebellious devil.”
That is: among the people are a sect and a faction, who took the path of misguidance, and began to argue with falsehood against the truth, wanting to establish falsehood and invalidate the truth. And the situation is, they are extremely ignorant, they do not have any knowledge, and the goal of what they have is to imitate the imams of misguidance, of every rebellious devil, He rebelled against God and His Messengers, was stubborn towards them. He opposed God and His Messenger and became one of the imams who call for Hell.
A view around the verse
Some Muslims have seen some of these difficulties in some countries under occupation, intercontinental wars, proxy wars, etc. They are miniature pictures of what will happen on the Day of Resurrection. We agree that this world is a miniature picture of everything and is for tasting only, but true satiation is in the afterlife, so God - the Almighty - mentions the word “tasting” frequently in many verses, no two punishments will ever be imposed on a believer. Whoever takes his share of these enormous difficulties in this world will be safe on the Day of Resurrection, except for depriving the rights of his servants, because it is the only thing that God does not forgive except by forgiving its owner.
A view around the verse
We all know the types of arguments, even though all arguments are reprehensible according to the words of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - (I guarantee a house in the middle of Paradise for whoever abandons quarrels while he is right) It is no secret to anyone that the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - made a promise to those who abandon any kind of argument.
The types of argument
The Praiseworthy controversy
( وَلَا تُجَادِلُوا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ [العنكبوت:46])
God Almighty says (And do not dispute with the People of the Book except in a way that is best [Al-Ankabut: 46])
So, there is debate in the best possible way. Whoever argues with you and accuses your religion, while you have knowledge, and you are content to remain silent for the sake of safety, then you are sinning. Instead, if God blessed you with a fluent tongue and a strong argument, then you should argue, but in the best way, without verbal exchanges, harm, or anything alike.
The reprehensible controversy
God Almighty says, “None disputes concerning the verses of God except those who disbelieve, so do not be deceived by their volatility in the land.”
Now: God Almighty - tells us that there is a type of people who argue in God, and look, he argues in God and does not argue about God, and the difference is vast. Whoever argues in God: He argues about His existence - His provision for His servants...etc. And whoever argues about God is defending His existence by proving it in every possible way, here, this debater argues about God without knowledge and follows every rebellious and malicious devil, so, what is the relationship? We all know that there are human demons, there are also jinn devils in the text of the Qur’an, and this means that it is possible for a human devil to adorn, this is why he who argues about God's work and whispers to him in order to make him feel superior and make him feel that he is right. and God is superior and knows best.
Allah says
" كتب عليه أنه من تولاه فأنه يضله ويهديه إلى عذاب السعير "
“It was decreed upon him that whoever be guardian for him will lead him astray, and guide him to the torment of the Blazing Fire.”
That is, follow him, “for it leads him astray” from the truth, and avoids him from the straight path, “and guides him to the torment of the Blazing Fire, this is truly Satan’s representative, for God said about him, “He only calls his party to be among the companions of the blazing fire, This one who disputes about God has combined his own misguidance with his attempt to mislead people, He is a follower and imitator of every willing devil, one darkness upon another, This includes the majority of infidels and heretics, as most of them are imitators and argue without knowledge.
A view around the verse
It is decreed upon me that whoever becomes a guardian of the one who disputes (Satan), he will never attain guidance, but will mislead him and guide him to the torment of the Blaze, Therefore, the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - commanded us to refrain from arguing, even if we are right, as it is a kind of knowledge of human weakness, and there are very eloquent people who use small words to convey great meanings, To them, silence makes them feel weak and they cannot do it, so the command to stay away from arguments is one of the best prophetic calls.
Allah says
" يا أيها الناس إن كنتم في ريب من البعث فإنا خلقناكم من تراب ثم من نطفة ثم من علقة ثم من مضغة مخلقة وغير مخلقة لنبين لكم ونقر في الأرحام ما نشاء إلى أجل مسمى ثم نخرجكم طفلا ثم لتبلغوا أشدكم ومنكم من يتوفى ومنكم من يرد إلى أرذل العمر لكيلا يعلم من بعد علم شيئا وترى الأرض هامدة فإذا أنزلنا عليها الماء اهتزت وربت وأنبتت من كل زوج بهيج "
“O people, if you are in doubt about the resurrection, then We created you from dust, then from a sperm, then from a leech, then from a created and uncreated embryo that We may make clear to you and establish in the wombs what We will for a specified period of time, then We will bring you forth as a child, then you will reach your maturity, and some of you will die, and some of you will be returned to the most miserable age, so that he does not know anything after his knowledge and you see the earth lifeless, so, when We send down water upon it, it stirs and grows, and sprouts every delightful kind.”
A view around the verse
First: the simplified interpretation, followed by the scientific interpretation of the Holy Verse
Once again, the conversation is for all people, believers and non-believers, Arabs and non-Arabs, black and whiteز
If you are in doubt about the resurrection
We, as Muslims, believe in the resurrection, by the grace of God - glory be to Him - As for the West today, it worships the machine and worships the deceased football player, some African tribes worship kings, some Asian tribes' worship sacred rivers, and many, many others, do you think that all of these believe in resurrection, resurrection, and all stages of the afterlife? It is a mental impossibility for any rational person, we will leave the interpretation of the middle of the verse to scientific interpretation
We place in the wombs whatever we wish for a specified period
How many women do you know that the fetus does not settle in her womb due to a birth defect in her womb or a disease that causes the fetus to come out of her womb before development in creation, as for what we want: this is black, this is white, this is with blue eyes, another is with black eyes, this is beautiful in appearance and good body, another is sick from birth, and so on, until a specified period (the period of birth, which may come before birth, such as when the mother dies, and the doctor would do well to extract the living from the dead and place the fetus in an incubator until it completes its life cycle, And other causes and consequences that we see morning and evening, and they are among the signs of God, and we pass by them unaware, except for those whom God has mercy on, we leave the middle of the verse again for the scientific meaning
And you see the earth lifeless, so when We send down water on it, It shook, patted, and sprouted from every joyful pair
God - the Almighty - combined in one verse the woman’s mercy on the earth that was dead a short while ago so that it becomes alive and fertilized with various types of plants, just as the woman was unmarried so she got married and had a fetus, The stages of which are mentioned in the noble verse are like the same plant, which begins with a bud, then turns green, then turns yellow, then falls to the ground and dies, and so on, just like the human life cycle.
The scientific interpretation of the Holy Verse
The proof of resurrection
God Almighty has proven the resurrection through the events that occur in the land on which we live. Just as God Almighty revives the seeds and makes them grow in a new spring after they rot and die underground, Likewise, He will revive the person whose body is being consumed in the grave and scattered; On the day of resurrection, which is his second spring. It is the Creator who sends plants every spring and spreads them before our eyes to revive the dead, definitely send them back. the resurrection and resurrection confirm that right in the universe and creation, and therefore they are among the facts of the universe and the right in creation, (And We did not create the heaven and the earth and all that is between them to be void. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve.) when polytheists believe in the falsehood of creation and the lack of truth in the universe, they do not believe in resurrection, resurrection, and reckoning, and that is part of the belief of Arab polytheists before Islam. Thus, resurrection are among the facts of the universe and the truth in creation.
It is evidence of the resurrection
Man's semen
The basis for inferring this evidence of resurrection is that semen is obtained from the waste of digestion, and it is like light rain pouring out on the ends of the organs, so if a person wants to expel it, it is gathered from the parts of the body, and water brought it out, flowing into the depths of the womb, to form a new human being. If these parts were separate, and He combined them and formed that person from them, then how could He be prevented from bringing them together again from the dust?
And in Surah Al-Qiyamah: (37-40)
(أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَىٰ ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ)
(Does a person think that he will be left in vain? does he was not a sperm from the semen of a man, then it was a clot, so it was created and formed, so He made of it a pair, the male and the female, isn't not able to give life to the dead)
And in Surah Al-Tariq
(5- 8) (فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ)
(5-8) (So let man consider from what he was created. He was created from flowing water coming out from between the back and the chest bones.)
The stages of creation of the first human
1 - The water
The water is the first element from which God created every living thing except the angels and jinn that are living. Because angels were created from light, and jinn were created from fire, God Almighty said: “Have those who disbelieved not seen that the heavens and the earth were joined together, Then We separated them and made from the water every living thing. Will they not then believe? (Al-Anbiya’: 30)
2 - The Soil
Soil is the second element of the creation of the father of mankind, Adam - peace be upon him. He - the Almighty - said: “Indeed, the likeness of Jesus in the sight of God is like that of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him, ‘Be,’ and he was.” [Al Imran: 59] Soil is an essential element in the formation of every human being after Adam - peace be upon him - as from soil is plants, from plants is food, from food is blood, and from blood is sperm, And from the sperm is the fetus. God Almighty said: ﴾And God created you from dust, then from a drop of seed, then made you into mates, no female conceives or gives birth except by His knowledge, and there is no one who is long-lived, And his lifespan will not be shortened except in a book. Indeed, that is easy for God” [Fatir: 11].
There is another investigation by scholars about God creating people from dust
That is, He created their father Adam from her, then created his wife from him, then created them from her through reproduction. Since their first origin was from dust, he called them that He created them from dust, because the branches follow the origin, and modern science has concluded that all the elements that make up a human being are the elements of the earth.
3 - The clay
This clay results from the mixing of the elements of water and soil, as we explained above, and therefore clay is the compound from which the creation of the human body is made, God Almighty said: “That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Mighty, the Most Merciful, He who perfected everything He created, and began the creation of man from clay, then made his descendants from strain from degrading water * Then He fashioned it and breathed into it of His Spirit and gave you hearing and sight and hearts, Little do you give thanks. (Al-Sajdah: 6-9) And God - Glory be to Him, the Most High - describe this clay was sticky clay; That is: a sticky, adhesive that holds each other together, God Almighty said: “Then ask them whether they are more severe in creating or those We created, Indeed, We created them from black sticky clay” (Al-Saffat: 11).
It is worth noting that
The reason why humans differ in their characteristics, shapes, and morals is due to the material from which God created Adam. As he collected it from all over the earth, the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - said: ((God created Adam from a fist that He took from all the earth, so the sons of Adam came according to the size of the earth, So among them came white, red, and black, and between that and the plain and the sad, and between that and the bad and the good, and between that)).
4 - Changed black clay stage
God Almighty left this clay after mixing its two elements until it became a black, changing clay. He Almighty said: ﴿ And We created man from clay of black, shifting clay” [Al-Hijr: 26].
5 - The clay stage
After the clay became hardened silt in the form of Adam, it became clay like pottery. God Almighty said: “He created man from clay like pottery” * And He created the jinn from a source of fire.} [Al-Rahman: 14, 15]
Clay is dry clay that has a hardness to it. That is, the one who makes his voice sound when something hits him, as long as the fire does not touch him, then if the fire touches him, then he is a potter, this is what most commentators say. this clay resembles pottery, except that it is not pottery, because God did not cause Adam to enter Hell so that he would become a potter. God Almighty said: “He created man from clay like pottery” [Al-Rahman: 14].
The bottom line is that when God - Glory be to Him - mixed the elements of earth and water, it became clay, when the clay stank, it became a thick slurry shaped like it, when it dried, it became clay, and until this stage Adam had not begun to live.
As for the period of time between the clay stage and the changing black clay and pottery
God - Glory be to Him - did not specify it in the Holy Qur’an, nor was there an authentic prophetic hadith about it to be used as evidence. Among the hadiths that clarify this stage is what was narrated by Abu Hurairah - may God be pleased with him - The Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - said: “God created Adam from dust, then made him clay, then he left it until it was black, changing clay, so he created it and shaped it, Then he left it until it was clay like pottery. He said: Satan used to pass by him and say to him: You were created for a great matter, Then God breathed His spirit into him, and the first thing that the spirit entered was his eyes and nostrils, and he sneezed. When God met him, he praised his Lord, and God said: May your Lord have mercy on you...))
6 - The stage of breathing the soul
After God Almighty created the first human and shaped him, then he became clay. That is, the clay dried up after it was molded, and the soul moved into the body of Adam - peace be upon him - and He - the Most High - said - :) When your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed, I am creating human beings from clay”* So when I have shaped him and breathed into him of My Spirit, then fall down to Him, prostrating to Him.) [Page: 71, 72] He - Glory be to Him - added the spirit to Himself, to make it clear that no one owns this spirit except Him - the Almighty - and that its essence and method are taken into account by the breath, Of what He - Glory be to Him - has limited, and there is no way for anyone to know it, as He - the Most High - said - :) And they ask you about the spirit. Say, “The spirit is from the command of my Lord, and you have not been given of knowledge except a little” (Al-Isra: 85).
The scientific stages of embryo formation
1 - The sperm stage
Sperm is considered a mixture of the man’s water and the woman’s water. After intercourse, the man’s water mixes with the woman’s water and the two waters become sperm. One of the wonders of God’s ability - Glory be to Him - is that the number of sperm secreted by the testicles reaches between two hundred and three hundred sperm in one batch, While the female pushes a single egg bearing a radiant crown, and of the huge quantities of sperm, only one sperm reaches the egg. Once the sperm is fused with the egg, the fertilized egg begins to divide into two cells, then four, then eight, Thus, without an increase in the size of the total of these cells beyond the size of the fertilized egg, this division process takes place while the egg is on its way to the uterus, and then comes the second stage; Which:
2 - Alaqah: The leech stage
The word leech is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an in five verses:
The leech: It is a piece of leech, which is solid blood. After the fertilized egg reaches the uterus, and after its division, it becomes a mass of small cells, it is called the mulberry; It resembles a fruit, then it attaches to the wall of the uterus, and continues to attach for twenty-four hours. the leech is distinguished by two layers; They are: an outer layer that “eats and nourishes,” and an inner layer, from which God creates the fetus, God - Glory be to Him - named the first surah revealed in the Qur’an after this stage: May God - Glory be to Him - remind us of those moments when the human being was a mass of blood stuck to the wall of the uterus, deriving from it warmth, nourishment, and housing, God Almighty said: “Read in the name of your Lord who created.* He created man from a clot” [Al-Alq: 1, 2].
The Holy Qur’an took into account the temporal and creating difference
Between every stage of creation, the distance between the sperm and the clot is a great distance in the scale of creation, although it is not far in the calculation of time, and therefore the expression came in the shift between the sperm and the clot, separating them between them.
Then We created the sperm as a clot
The distance is vast between the sperm and the alaqah, whether it is the male sperm (sperm) or the female sperm (the egg), or both (the sperm and gametes) Which is in the uterine canal to reach the firm place and settle there, but the transition between the leech and the embryo is fast and the distance is close, The alaqah enters the embryo without there being a significant temporal or moral difference, and hence it was expressed with the letter fa, indicating the connection between it: “So We created the alaqah as a embryo”
4 – The bone stage
In this stage, the piece of meat turns into a skeleton. God Almighty said: “Then We created the embryo as bones” [Al-Mu’minun: 14].
5- The covering the bones with meat:
This verse indicates that the bones are formed first, then the flesh and muscles wrap around them as if it were a covering for them. This precise depiction indicates the greatness and accuracy of the Qur’an.
6 - The other creation
At this stage, the soul is breathed, and this breath takes place about four months after the alaqah stage. The Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - said: ((Indeed, one of you gathers his creation in his mother’s womb for forty days, and then there is a ‘laqah) like that, then there will be a lump like that in it, then the angel will be sent, and the soul will be breathed into it, He will be commanded with four words: to write down his livelihood, his term, his work, and whether he is miserable or happy.)
God Almighty said: “In a secure abode”
It is fixed in the womb sunken between the pelvic bones, protected from being affected by the vibrations of the body, and from many of the blows, bruises, shocks and impacts that affect the back and abdomen!
God Almighty said: “Then We created another creation”
This is a human being with distinct characteristics. The human embryo resembles an animal embryo in its physical stages, but the human embryo gives rise to another creation, and is transformed into that distinct creation, ready for advancement, and the animal embryo remains in the rank of an animal, devoid of the characteristics of advancement and perfection that characterize the human embryo.
