The Creation of Man in Stages Allah tells us that He has created everything well and formed everything in a goodly fashion.Malik said, narrating from Zayd bin Aslam:الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُWho made everything He has created good,means, "He created everything well and in a goodly fashion."When Allah mentions the creation of the heavens and the earth, He follows that by mentioning the creation of man.Allah says:وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ الاِْنسَانِ مِن طِينٍand He began the creation of man from clay.meaning, He created the father of mankind, Adam, from clay.ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهُ مِن سُلَلَةٍ مِّن مَّاء مَّهِينٍ
