Al-Mu'minun 12: Indeed, We created humankind from a dry clay (from a filtered, extracted core substance) .

Now to Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 12, we have come. Indeed, We created man from an extract drawn out of clay, it says about man. Now in this verse: Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Ve lekad halaknâ el-insâne min sülâletin min tîn. That is, indeed, We created man from an extract drawn out of clay. As Allah Almighty says, His word is both outward and inward. Because Allah Almighty, His essence: Hüve'l-evvelü ve'l-âhiru ve'z-zâhiru ve'l-bâtın, Hüve'l-evvelü ve'l-âhiru ve'z-zâhiru ve'l-bâtın. Outward, yes. That in this world the human body was created from clay, it says. An outward word. That is, that Adam was created from the essence of clay, from a refined essence of it, as a body; then, after creating our souls in the realm of Lahut and making a covenant with our souls, which are our true being.

Soul, nafs and life are one. Bodies are separate. His raising this to the realm of Barzakh, and the soul being breathed, given into the body whose time has come, and His bringing that body to life. For example, after creating Adam from clay, Allah Almighty breathes Adam's soul into his body. After that body comes to life, He says, now prostrate to it, to the angels and to Satan. Yes. So the word here, in an outward sense, tells us that our body was created from clay, that our Lord gave it life by His power, and that with His attribute of Creator He is the owner of the worlds. What does it say? Indeed, We created man from an extract drawn out of clay.

When Allah Almighty created all the souls in the realm of souls, He made a covenant with them. Then, for mankind to be able to come to an unseen realm where it does not see its Lord, it needed the garment of a body. So Allah Almighty had it taken from the essence of the soil gathered from the four corners of the world, which according to one narration was from the clay garden of yellow earth, made it into a skeleton, then clothed it in flesh, and after making it a body, He put the soul of our forefather Adam into this body. As a result of these events, He sent our forefather Adam to the world. Allah, who made a covenant with each soul separately, lets man live in this worldly realm called the unseen realm, and after making people, according to the covenant they gave, witnesses against themselves and against Allah Almighty, He will make them die.

He will return them to Himself again. According to the verse in which He says, every soul will taste death and your return is to Me, and according to the verse in which He says, We bring you to life twice and make you die twice, our first coming to life is upon the body, here; our first coming to life is also upon the body, again here; our second coming to life is in the realm of the hereafter, upon the body, there. Our second coming to life and our dying are again upon the body in the realm of the hereafter; at the Great Tribunal, after our body has borne witness against our soul, our body says exactly this to Allah Almighty.

You are being returned to the One who first created, it says. And it dies there a second time. Since soul, nafs and life are one, there is no death upon them. The soul is eternal: if bound for Paradise, eternal in Paradise; if bound for Hell, in Hell eternal. Eternal.

Allah Almighty makes known that there is no other god besides Himself, how our forefather Adam was created, how, sent to the realm of Mulk, he multiplied his offspring there, that there is no other god besides Him, and that He has power over all things, by saying, We created Adam from clay. Yes.
