In the Quran,
Allah reveals that the creation of the human is a miracle.
The first human being was created by Allah shaping clay into
human form and breathing a soul into it:
 |
Al-Quran,
Chapter 38 Saad, Verse 71-72 |
|
|
 |
|
In
the Name of Allah, The Benevolent, The Merciful |
Behold thy
Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man from
clay
"When I
have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into
him of My spirit fall ye down in obeisance unto him." |
|
|
And also:
|
|
Al-Quran,
Chapter 37 As-Saffat, Verse 11 |
|
|
|
|
In
the Name of Allah, The Benevolent, The Merciful |
Just
ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create
or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We
created out of a sticky clay! |
|
|
When the human body is
examined today, it may be discovered that many elements
present on the earth are also to be found in the body.
Living tissues contain 95% carbon, hydrogen, oxygen,
nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur, with a total of 26
different elements.91 In another
verse of the Quran we are told:
|
|
Al-Quran,
Chapter 23 Al-Muminun, Verse 12 |
|
|
|
|
In
the Name of Allah, The Benevolent, The Merciful |
We created
man from an extract of clay. |
|
|
The Arabic word "sulala,"
translated as "extract" in the verse, means "representative
example, essence." As we have seen, the information revealed
in the Quran 1,400 years ago confirms what modern science
tells us-the fact that the same elements are employed in
human creation as those found in the soil. Below is a table
showing the distribution of the elements in a 70-kilo human
being.
