2. (And) created man from a clot of blood [3].

This is the answer to the question: What is the status of man in this universe?
And the answer is that just as everything in the universe is a creation of Allah, so too is man a creation of Allah. It is in no way permissible for a creation to bow its head before another creation like itself. Secondly, Allah Almighty created man in a miraculous manner. After conception, he was a lifeless clot upon which Allah Almighty passed him through several stages. On this clot, He formed the features of his limbs, created the internal organs of the body, then, after creating various external and internal faculties in him, brought him out from his mother's womb.
