Question
What were Humans Created from ?
Answer
Allah has clarified that man is created when the male's sperm enters the female's egg.
Allah says: So let man see from what he is created! * He is created from a water gushing forth. * Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs. [86:5-7]
Allah has clarified that humans procreate through this process.
Allah says: And it is He Who has created man from water, and has appointed for him kindred by blood, and kindred by marriage. And your Rubb is Ever All-Powerful to do what He wills. [25:54]
He has clarified that the fetus is kept in a safe place, far from outside factors, until Allah decrees that it comes out.
Allah says: Did We not create you from a worthless water [semen, etc.]? * Then We placed it in a place of safety [i.e. the womb].
*For a known period (determined by gestation)? * So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). [77:20-3]
Allah has clarified that the fetus passes through three stages of darkness. It passes through specific stages until it reaches, by the ability of Allah, its final stage, and then it exits the womb and enters into this world.
Allah says: He creates you in the wombs of your mother's, creation after creation in three veils of darkness. [39:6]
Stages Humans Pass Through
A drop of mixed fluid which results from the mixing of male and female fluids. Allah says: And that He [Allah] creates the pairs, male and female. From Nutfah [drops of semen, male and female discharges] when it is emitted. [53:45-6]
If Allah wills, the sperm would mix with the female's fluids and penetrate the ovary; the sperm and the female fluid upon mixing is called 'Nutfah', and is the first stage of human development. If it does not penetrate the ovary, the sperm would die.
Allah says: Verily, We have created man from a nutfah drops of mixed semen [fluids of man and woman] in order to try him, so We made him to hear and to see. [76:2]

BACK BONE AND THE RIBS
Now let man but think from what he is created!
He is created from a drop emitted
Proceeding from between the back bone and the ribs.”
[Al-Qur’an 86:5-7]
In embryonic stages, the reproductive organs of the male and female, i.e. the testicles and the ovaries,begin their development near the kidney between the spinal column and the eleventh and twelfth ribs.Later they descend; the female gonads (ovaries) stop in the pelvis while the male gonads (testicles) continue their descent before birth to reach the scrotum through the inguinal canal. Even in adulthood after the descent of the reproductive organs, these organs receive their nerve supply and blood supply from the Abdominal Aorta, which is in
the area between the backbone (spinal column) and the ribs.The lymphatic drainage and the venous return also go to the same area.
NUTFAH – MINUTE QUANTITY OF LIQUID
The Glorious Qur’an mentions no less than eleven times that the human being is created from nutfah,which means a minute quantity of liquid or a trickle of liquid that remains after emptying a cup. This is mentioned in several verses of the Qur’an including 22:5 and 23:13.
Science has confirmed in recent times that only one out of an average of three million sperms is required for fertilising the ovum. This means that only ⅓ millionth part or 0.00003% of the quantity of sperms that are emitted is required for fertilisation.
