Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
17. 1. That is, your father Adam (علیہ السلام), whom Allah created from clay and then breathed into him spirit. Or, if all humans are considered as the addressees, then the meaning would be that the sperm-drop from which you are created is formed from the food that is obtained from the earth; in this sense, the origin of everyone's creation is the earth itself.
