Then he said: [Az-Zumar 39:6] When Allah the Exalted mentioned the beginning of the first creation, which is Adam, He mentioned the beginning of the second creation, which is the human species, the human species. How was it created? He said: for the locative case, and al-buṭūn is the plural of baṭn, and the original meaning of this root, bā, ṭā, and nūn, is the opposite of al-ẓuhūr (the backs). So the bellies are hidden and the backs are apparent. And among the names of Allah are al-Ẓāhir (the Apparent) and al-Bāṭin (the Hidden): the Apparent is the High, and the Hidden is that nothing stands between Him and anything. So here, al-buṭūn is the plural of baṭn, and it is derived from al-buṭūn as well. Baṭuna al-shay’ buṭūnan means it was hidden. And his saying: is the plural of umm or ummah, and it is said ummāt for the non-rational, and ummahāt for the rational. He says: is the verbal noun of yakhluq [Az-Zumar 39:6] meaning a developing creation that transitions from one stage of creation to another. The author said in his tafsir: " meaning sperm, then a clinging clot, then a lump of flesh " And Allah the Exalted alluded to these stages in His saying: [Al-Hajj 22:5] with regard to Adam with regard to the human species, then The lump of flesh is a piece of meat the size of what is chewed. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the duration of this development in the hadith of Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him): Mishkat al-Masabih 82Muttafaqun 'alayh (Zubair `Aliza'i) Forty days as sperm, meaning water, which is semen, but during this period it develops in a hidden way until it reaches the limit at the completion of forty days, becoming a clinging clot, meaning red blood. It appears that the intention is not that it remains sperm until the full forty days and then turns into blood in an instant, but rather that it develops and changes gradually until its formation as blood is completed in forty days. Then it remains thus as a clinging clot, but it also solidifies gradually and grows until eighty days. Then after that, it becomes a lump of flesh, a piece of meat. It is possible, and Allah knows best, that at the end of the third stage at the beginning of the stage, meaning that in this stage, at the beginning, it is not formed, and at the end, it is formed. And it is possible that the fetuses differ in this, so some are formed from the moment they transition to the lump of flesh, and some are delayed, so Allah knows best, and in this matter, one should refer to the scholars.
Then He, Glory and Exaltation be upon Him, said:[Az-Zumar 39:6] light does not reach it The author explained it by saying: " They are the darkness of the belly, the darkness of the womb, and the darkness of the placenta " These are three darknesses that Allah, Glory and Exaltation be upon Him, made as protection for this fetus, because if the rays of light reached it, they would corrupt it. But Allah, Glory and Exaltation be upon Him, placed it in these three darknesses. Then He, Exalted and Exalted, made its back toward the belly of its mother and its face toward the back of the mother, and this is so that its face is not harmed by the shocks that occur on the mother’s belly, so that the back serves as protection for the face. The back of the fetus, which is adjacent to the belly, is strong because it contains the spine and ribs, so it is strong, meaning it can withstand shocks. So when Allah, Glory and Exaltation be upon Him, intends to bring it out, this fetus turns, moves, and agitates by the permission of Allah, Glory and Exaltation be upon Him, then it turns so that its head is at the bottom and the head comes out first, so that its exit is smooth. If it came out from its feet, there would be harm and danger. Also, perhaps one of the hands would get stuck on one of the sides, and harm would occur, and perhaps the fetus would be destroyed. And Allah, Glory and Exaltation be upon Him, has matters in His creation. The important thing is that Allah the Exalted cared for us with complete care while we were in the wombs of our mothers and when we came out of them. And for this reason He said: And how good is the Lord, Glory and Exaltation be upon Him. the one referred to is , and the one addressed is mankind. And the demonstrative pronoun indicating distance was used, and He did not say "this," indicating the high rank of Allah, the high station of Him, Glory and Exaltation be upon Him, and that He has elevation in essence, elevation in rank, and elevation in dominion. And his saying: is either an attribute or a substitute, and in it is an indication, meaning the mention of lordship after divinity points to the special nurturing during pregnancy and complete care, because no one can reach the fetus in its mother’s womb, neither to bring benefit nor to remove harm, but Allah, Glory and Exaltation be upon Him, is the One who takes charge of its care. {If you had come forward, Ya Hamd, you would have filled the gap.} Yes, he says: [Fatir 35:13] This sentence is a declarative sentence in which the predicate was placed before the subject, to indicate exclusivity. meaning He alone, no one shares with Him. meaning absolute ownership, ownership of entities and ownership of attributes. So He is the owner of all entities and the owner of their attributes, their management, and their administration.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي رَيْبٍ مِنَ الْبَعْثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ مُضْغَةٍ مُخَلَّقَةٍ وَغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍfrom dust

مِن علقة ثم من مضغة مخلقة وغير مخلقةThe constituents of one of you are collected for forty days in his mother’s womb in the form of a drop, then they become a piece of congealed blood for a similar period, then they become a lump of flesh for a similar period. Then God sends to him an angel with four words who records his deeds, the period of his life, his provision, and whether he will be miserable or blessed: thereafter He breathes the spirit into him.
إنَّ أحدَكم يُجمَعُ خلقُه أربعين يومًا نطفة ثم يكون علقةً مثل ذلك ثم يكون مضغَةً مثل ذلك ثم يُرسَل إليه الملك فينفُخ فيه الروح ويُؤْمَر بأربع كلمات بكَتْب رزقه وأجله وعمله وشقي أم سعيدformed and unformed
