From a Drop

Quran repeatedly states that man was created from a drop (of semen).

S 16:4 He created man from a drop so behold, he is an obvious adversary.

Man is the adversary of God, which Allah supposedly is? How might man be God's adversary?

S 18:37  His companion said to him while he was conversing with him: Have you disbelieved in the one who created you from dirt then from a drop then smoothed you as a man?

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.

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!

The Best of Creators

S 35:11  And Allah created you from dirt then from a drop then he made you pairs. And no female bears or lays except with his knowledge. And no longevous man is granted long life nor is reduced from his age but it is in a book. That is easy for Allah.

S 36:77 Does man not see that we have created him from a drop then behold, he is an obvious adversary?

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 53:46 From a drop when it is ejaculated

We may add S 75:37

Was he not a drop of semen that is ejaculated?

S 76:2 We created man from a drop, a mixture, we test him. And we made him a hearer, a seer.

S 80:19  From a drop he created him then determined him.
