Allah tells us that He has created everything well and formed everything in a
goodly fashion. Malik said, narrating from Zayd bin Aslam:
[الَّذِى أَحْسَنَ
كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُ]
(Who made everything He has created good) means, "He created everything well
and in a goodly fashion.'' When Allah mentions the creation of the heavens and
the earth, He follows that by mentioning the creation of man. Allah says:
[وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ
الإِنْسَـنِ مِن طِينٍ]
(and He began the creation of man from clay.) meaning, He created the father
of mankind, Adam, from clay.
[ثُمَّ جَعَلَ
نَسْلَهُ مِن سُلاَلَةٍ مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ ]
(Then He made his offspring from semen of despised water.) means, they
reproduce in this fashion, from a Nutfah which comes from the loins of men and
from between the ribs of women.
[ثُمَّ
سَوَّاهُ]
(Then He fashioned him in due proportion,) means, when He created Adam from
clay, He created him and gave him shape and made him upright.
[وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن
رُّوحِهِ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالاٌّبْصَـرَ وَالاٌّفْئِدَةَ]
(and breathed into him the soul; and He gave you hearing, sight and the sense
of deduction.) means, reason.
[قَلِيلاً مَّا
تَشْكُرُونَ]
(Little is the thanks you give!) means, for these strengths with which Allah
has provided you; the one who is truly blessed is the one who uses them to
worship and obey his Lord, may He be exalted and glorified.
[وَقَالُواْ أَءِذَا
ضَلَلْنَا فِى الاٌّرْضِ أَءِنَّا لَفِى خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ بَلْ هُم بِلَقَآءِ
رَبِّهِمْ كَـفِرُونَ - قُلْ يَتَوَفَّـكُم مَّلَكُ الْمَوْتِ الَّذِى وُكِّلَ
بِكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ ]
(10. And they say: "When we are lost in the earth, shall we indeed be created
anew'' Nay, but they deny the meeting with their Lord!) (11. Say: "The angel of
death, who is set over you, will take your souls. Then you shall be brought to
your Lord.'')
