Creation of Adam
Various terms can be refer in regard the process of Adams
creation. From the pointof the body there are many verses of the
Quran states that Adam was created fromthe ground. Among the verses
are from surah Al-Kahf: 37, Al-Hajj: 5, Al-Rum: 20, Al-
Fatir: 11 and Al-Ghafur: 6.
Word of Allah, means:
He who has made Everything which He has created Most Good: He
began thecreation of man with (nothing more than) clay, And made
his progeny from aquintessence of the nature of a fluiddespised
(al-Sajadah, 32 : 7-8)
Allah has made it clear in this verse that the first human i.e
Adam was made fromdust, then his descendants made from semen,
despised (Takiyuddin Hj Mohd
Ibrahim, 2004).
Humans are creatures created by Allah. They are created from the
ground. This landhas been described by scholars as a combination of
two essential elements i.e of soiland water.
Word of Allah, means:
He who has made Everything which He has created Most Good: He
began thecreation of man with (nothing more than) clay,
(al-Sajadah, 32:7)
Land used to form the body of the Prophet Adam as the first man
is a mix of the red,white and black soil. Therefore, the difference
can be seen to this day among thedescendants of people living in
this world.
The process of creation of Adam through several stages with
reference to someappropriate verses.
First: The Quintessence Of The Nature On The LandAt this stage
it appears that Allah did some filtering dust. This process seeks
to
obtain quintessence of the nature of land which is clean and
well suited to be used asone element of human creation. This
indicates that land use is through observationand not from the soil
as thought this day. This is in line with the dignity given by
Allahto mankind. In another aspect shown is the greatness of Allah
as the creator of Hiscreation.
Dr. Maurice Bucaille described with reference to Surah
al-Furqan: 54 that the humanlineage is derived from water called
the quintessence of the nature of sperm or inscientific as the
spermatozoon. So he saw the quintessence of the nature of land
setforth above shall be referred to with various other components
includingquintessence of the nature of land, and quintessence of
the nature of water to be the
most important element in the creation of man.Second: Clay or
Stick Properties

At this stage, known as the land attached or the clay is
basically a stick properties.Al-Qurtubiyy explained that at this
stage, soil conditions or flattened at each other.Then this land
will be the hard ground. At this stage, Al-Qurtubiyy also explained
inthe commentary that people associated with the first Adam is said
to remain as a
board-shaped clay. Apart from that period it was in this
situation for forty years untilhis physical attributes become hard
and dry.
Third: The smell of the Land ( )According to theinterpretation
ofDr. MauriceBucaille is defined asmud ororganicsoil anddoes not
focus onmeaning, such asthe changingof blackmud andhas
adistinctiveodor. This isdue tomixingprocessesbetween land andwater
hasoccurred
Fourth: Hard Land ( )
This word is not perfect if the parable is not explained with
the whichmeans like pottery. It is clear that at this stage of the
physical aspects of man createdby Allah to be in a hard form. Ab
al-Hasan Tibris explained that with a severephysical, it can
produce sounds that rattle twang, and repeatedly in the air like
thesound of iron beating wind. This level indicates that the time
for Adam to be acomplete man has arrived. This stage is seen as the
last stage of the creation of manfrom the physical aspects,
including the first three stages as described earlier.
The fifth and final stage: The Spirit blowingThe fifth stage is
to show the process of creation the first man (Adam) from
thespiritual, having completed the physical aspects to become a
man. It is said Allah
blew the spirit into Adam through his head and then the angels
of Allah taught Adamto praise Allah ( ) .

The Stage Of Human Creation
Then Allah created the next generation through the merger of the
male seed out ofthe coccyx and the seed of the woman resulting in
the sternum (Unit BimbinganRohani PERMATA, 2002). In the Quran
Allah has explained the process of human
creation and divided it into nine stages.Word of Allah,
means:
Man We did create from a quintessence (of clay), Then We placed
him as ( a dropof) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed, Then We
made the sperm into a clot ofcongealed blood; Then of that clot We
made a (foetus) lump;then We made out ofthat lump bones and clothed
the bones with flesh; then We developed out of itanother creature;
So blessedbe Allah,The Best to create, After that at lenghtYe
willdie, Again on the Day of Judgement, will ye be Raised up.
(al-Muminun, 23: 12-16)
Nine stages described in the above verse are:
1. First Stage, created from the ground. This stage only occurs
during the creationof Adam2. Second Stage, Nutfah the merger
between the seed stage, men and womenwho gave birth to human3.
Third Stage, alaqah turned into a lump of blood clots.4. Fourth
Stage, mudghah the blood clot change into a lump of chunks of
meat5. Fifth stage, 'Izam, the bone6. Sixth stage, the formation of
man and the merger between the bones and meat
7. Seventh stage, the spirit breathed into the human body8.
Eighth stage, human beings are born to earth and lived9. Ninth
stage, Resurrected after death while waiting for the Day of
Judgement
In addition, there is a hadith related to the above verse:
Whereas a proportion of you are gathered in his mother's womb
for 40 days, thenthe alaqah (clot) such that (40 days), then he is
mudghah (lump meat) such that (40days). Then Allah sent an angel,
then ordered him (the angel) four words. And said tothe angels: you
write good, and the provision and proper and wretched or happy.Then
blown into the spirit of being...
(Narrated by Bukhari)
