The Shaykh :

⁽⁴⁾ There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. ⁽⁵⁾ So let man observe from what he was created.

إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ * فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق

[At-Tariq 86:4-5]

"So let man look..." The fā' is a conjunction, and the lām is the lām of command. "So let man look from what he was created." From where? From what was he created? Answer: He was created from a spurting fluid. This is the answer from Allah.

⁽⁶⁾ He was created from a fluid, ejected, ⁽⁷⁾ Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

خلق من ماء دافق * يخرج من بين الصُلب والترائب

[At-Tariq 86:6-7]

Glory be to the All-Able, Mighty and Majestic. From this humble spurting fluid, man is created, the clear adversary. Allah the Exalted said:

Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?

أولم ير الإنسان أنا خلقناه من نطفة فإذا هو خصيم مبين

[Ya-Sin 36:77]

"He was created from a spurting fluid"

⁽⁶⁾ He was created from a fluid, ejected, ⁽⁷⁾ Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

من ماء دافق يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب

[At-Tariq 86:6-7]
