Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Light of the Holy Qur'an Interpretation Of( Insan and Mursalat and Naba ) Sura Insan (human) No.

Surely We created Man from a drop of mingled semen, in order to try him: so We gave him hearing and sight. Surely We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (is up to him) . We have prepared Chains, Yokes and a Blazing Fire for the Rejecters. Commentary: We transformed the lowly mixture of sperm (and egg) into Man, then We made all the faculties of guidance available to him.

Though most of the details in this Sura are about Resurrection and the Blessings of Heaven, there is, at the beginning of the Sura, some discussion on the creation of Man. It becomes understood that if one takes note of the creation then one may be able to act cautiously in anticipation of the Resurrection. The question is asked, " Has there not been over Man a long period of Time when he was a thing not worth mentioning?" The answer, undoubtedly, is in the affirmative.

For a long time the tiny essential particles of his being were scattered in different places. They could have been in the soil, among the tiny droplets of water in the seas, or in the atmosphere. In fact, each of these three environments was so vast that the particles were lost within them and were so small as not to be worthy of mention. Does the term 'Man', in the first verse, refer to all the members of mankind or does it only refer to 'Adam'?

The next verse continues: " Surely we created 'Man' from a drop of mingled semen..." so, we can say this is a clear indication that it is referring to all of mankind; {since it is a known fact that this is definitely how Man reproduces. and not by any other means. It is not a condition of coming into existence only for Adam.} However, some commentators believe that the term 'Man', in the first verse, refers to 'Adam' and that 'Man', in the second verse, indicates 'mankind' as a whole.
