....As
the roots of the plants receive the necessary elements dissolved
in water, such as carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and calcium from
wet soil, the angels also receive the necessary elements that
Hazrat Adam needed. Thereby, the phase of "the extract of clay"
was completed and the phase of "sticky clay" began.
...."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!" (Saaffat,
11)
....The elements of Hazrat Adam that
were planted in the clay were transformed into a sticky clay,
thereby, the phase "sticky clay" was completed and the phase "from
mud molded into shape" began.
...."We created man from sounding
clay, from mud molded into shape;" (Hijr, 26)
....The male gamete, or sperm, and
the female gamete, the egg or ovum, meet in the female's reproductive
system to create a new individual, an egg is fertilized by the
sperm, which is called the zygote; and this zygote is transformed
into flesh. The elements of Hazrat Adam were transformed into
first an extract of clay, then into sticky clay by the effect
of complex chemical reactions, and then took on a clear shape.
Then, it became a bone-dry material in the shape of human, like
an earthen pot. The phase "from mud molded into shape" was completed
and the phase "coming into life" began.
....When the last phase began, Allah
Almighty ordered the angels:
...."And when I have fashioned
him and breathed into him of My Spirit, then fall down before
him prostrate,"
(Sad, 72)
