In this post we shall be looking at instances of the word 'clot'.


S 22:5 People, if you are in doubt about the resurrection, we have created you from dirt then from a drop then from a blood clot then from a gobbet, formed and unformed, that we may make clear for you. And we settle in the wombs what we will for a designated term then we bring you out as a child then that you may reach your maturity. And among you is he who is caused to die and among you is he who is returned to the lowest age so that he does not know anything after knowledge. And you see the Earth hamidah and when we have sent down water upon it it moves and increases and grows every joyous kind.


How might an understanding of seventh-century medical 'knowledge' stop one doubting the Resurrection? 'The lowest age': senility. Does Allah send you senile? When it rains, the Earth moves?



S 23:14 Then we created the drop as a blood clot then we created the blood clot as a gobbet then we created the gobbet as bones then we clothed the bones with flesh. Then we constructed it as another creation. So blessed be Allah the best of creators!



S 40:67 He is the one who created you from dirt then from a drop then from a blood clot then he brings you out as a child then that you may reach your maturity then that you may be old men and among you is he who is caused to die before and that you may reach a designated term and perhaps you will comprehend.


S 75:38 Then he was a clot and he created and smoothed.


S 96:2 Created man from blood clots.



In the preceding verses the author puts 'alaqah but here he puts 'alaq.


Definitions:


Noun

عَلَقَة (ʕalaqa) f (singulative, collective عَلَق m (ʕalaq), plural أَعْلَاق (ʔaʕlāq))


As Adam was a man, was he made from a number of blood clots? Or even just one?
