What did Allah use to create humanity with? The Qur’an contains at least five contradictory statements about the materials used in the creation of man. It should be noted that all of these statements are stand-alone and occur in passages ‘revealed’ years apart. Claims that we are dealing with some kind of recipe are therefore quite absurd. According to the Qur’an Allah variously used the following to create human beings: Blood: Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created - Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood. (Quran 96:1-2) Water: It is He Who has created man from water: Then has He established relationships of lineage and marriage: for thy Lord has power (over all things). (Quran 25:54) Clay: We created man from sounding clay, from mud molded into shape. (Quran 15:26) Dust: Among His Signs is this, that He created you from dust; and then, - behold, ye are men scattered (far and wide)! (Quran 30:20) Nothing: “Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, “Be, and it is!” (Quran 3:47) There is no indication in any of these verses that they are describing a part of a process. Instead, all of them make stand-alone and contradictory statements about the way in which humanity was created. The standard Muslim answer that this is some kind of ‘recipe’ also does not solve the dilemma that Qur’an 3:47 states that Allah created ‘out of nothing’.
