Wannan ayar tana nuni da cewa mataki na farko a tsarin ci gaban ɗan Adam shi ne cewa an halicci mutum daga wani "jauhari" ko "ƙauƙuwa" na laka.27

This verse mentions that the first stage of the human-developmental process is that man is formed from an ‘essence’ or ‘extract’ of clay.27

Masana tafsirin Alkur'ani na gargajiya sun fahimci kalmomin sulaalatin min tin (wani tsantsa daga laka) a matsayin nuni na musamman ga Adam. Daga cikin wadannan masu tafsiri akwai malamin nan sanannen karni na 13 daga Cordoba, al-Qurtubi28; masanin tarihi kuma malami dan kasar Farisa na karni na 9, al-Tabari29; da kuma likita kuma masanin tarihi dan kasar Iraki na karni na 12, al-Baghdadi.30.

The classical exegetes of the Qur’an understood the words sulaalatin min tin (an essence of clay) to specifically refer to Adam. These exegetes include the famous 13th century scholar from Cordoba, al-Qurtubi28; the 9th Century Persian historian and scholar, al-Tabari29; and the 12th century Iraqi physician and historian al-Baghdadi.30.

Ma'ana, sauran masu tafsiri sun nuna cewa waɗannan kalmomi suna nufin muhimman sassan jikin ɗan adam, waɗanda suka ƙunshi sinadarai daban-daban da ake samu a cikin laka. Dukkan ma'anoni biyu suna da ma'ana, saboda haka ana iya karɓar kowannensu.

Significantly, other exegetes suggest these words refer to the essential elements of the human body, which consist of various chemical components found in clay. Both meanings are intelligible and therefore either can be adopted.

Ta hanyar amfani da nazarin kimiyya a kan wannan ayar, ya bayyana cewa wannan mataki yana da alaƙa da wasu muhimman sinadarai. Abin lura shi ne cewa waɗannan sinadarai suna cikin laka. Sun haɗa da: Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulfur, Chlorine, Sodium, Magnesium da Silicon; dukkansu suna da muhimmanci ga aikin jiki da ci gaban ɗan Adam 31.

By applying a scientific analysis to this verse it becomes clear that this stage appertains to certain essential chemical components. It is significant that these chemical components are found in clay. They include: Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulfur, Chlorine, Sodium, Magnesium and Silicon; all of which are required for human functioning and development 31.

Wannan an yi bayaninsa ne mai ilimi da fassara a cikin tafsirin Alkur'ani nasa mai juzu'i takwas, malamin fikihu kuma mai tafsiri Shafi Usmani. Ya rubuta cewa:

This is explained by the jurist and exegete Shafi Usmani in his eight volume exegesis of the Qur’an. He writes:

Kalmar sulaalah na nufin ‘tsantsa’ ko ‘ɗan abu da aka cire’, kuma kalmar tin na nufin ‘ƙasa mai jiƙe’ ko ‘laka’, kuma ayar na nufin cewa an halicci mutum ne daga wasu sinadarai na musamman da aka cire daga ƙasa.32

The words sulaalah means ‘extract’ and tin means ‘wet earth’ or ‘clay’ and the verse means that man was created from some special elements extracted from earth.32

Masu suka sukar Alkur'ani a zamanin yau suna cewa Alkur'ani bai daidaita ba game da yadda mutum ke tasowa, domin jikin mutum ba an yi shi da laka ba. Wannan hujja ta samo asali ne daga rashin fahimtar harshen Larabci, domin kalmar mabuɗi da ke ba da damar wannan fassarar ita ce sulaalah (tsantsa). Wannan a fili yake nuna cewa ba laka ce aka halicci mutum daga gare ta ba, sai dai tsantsa ce ta laka, wanda ke nuni ga sinadaran sinadarai da ake buƙata domin rayuwar ɗan adam.

Contemporary critics state that the Qur’an is inaccurate concerning the development of the human being, as the human body is not made from clay. This argument stems from a misunderstanding of the Arabic language, as the key word allowing for the above interpretation is sulaalah (extract). This clearly indicates that it is not clay from which the human is created but an extract of clay, which alludes to the necessary chemical components required for human life

Sulaalatin min tin (ɗan ƙasa): abubuwan da ake buƙata na rayuwar ɗan adam da aikinsa, waɗanda ake samu a cikin laka

The sulaalatin min tin stage: the essential elements required for human life and functioning, found in clay
