Interpretation of Surah Al Imran, verses (5 – 6)
God Almighty said:Indeed, nothing is hidden from God on earth or in heaven.*It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise.(Al Imran: 5, 6).
﴿Indeed, nothing is hidden from God on earth or in heaven.﴾That is: God Almighty does not escape His knowledge of any of the things on earth or in the sky, no matter how few or how great they are. He, Glory be to Him, is all-encompassing, His knowledge of the subtleties of things, events, and conditions.[1].
There are many verses in the Qur’an that contain the same meaning of this verse.
﴿It is He who forms you in the wombsThat is: It is He who makes you males and females in specific images in your mothers’ wombs.[2]
﴿How he wants(By the difference in your tongues, colors, sizes, features, talents, natures, and other different forms.)
And God Almighty mentioned to us the stages of human creation, and He, Glory be to Him, said:O people, if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then indeed We created you from dust, then from a sperm, then from a clot, then from a created embryo, and other We were created that We may make clear to you, and We confirm in the wombs what We will for an appointed time, then We bring you forth as a child.(Al-Hajj: 5). And God Almighty said:We created man from a lineage of clay.*Then We placed him as a drop in a secure resting place.*Then We made the sperm into a clot, then We made the clot into a lump, then We made the lump into bones, then We covered the bones with flesh, then We produced from it another creation. Blessed be God, the best of creators.(Al-Mu’minun: 12-14).
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, mentioned these phases, as in the hadith of Ibn Masoud, may God be pleased with him, who said: “One of you gathers his creation in his mother’s womb for forty days, and then there is a leech during that.” Like that, then it is a lump of flesh like that, then the angel is sent, and the spirit is breathed into it, and four words are ordered: write down his livelihood, his term, his work, wretched, or “Happy”[3].
﴿There is no god but HimThat is: There is no one to be truly worshiped except Him, Glory be to Him. He alone is worthy of worship, without any partner.[4].
﴿Dear“It is one of the most beautiful names of God Almighty, and it means: The Strong, the Mighty, the Victorious, the One who cannot be defeated.”The wise manIn His actions, words, and decrees, He puts matters in their proper place with His wisdom and justice, and it is one of the most beautiful names of God.[5].
Ibn Kathir – may God have mercy on him – said: “This verse contains an objection, rather a statement that Jesus, son of Mary, is a created servant, just as God created all other human beings, because God Almighty formed him.” In the womb and created him as he wished, so how could he be a god as the Christians claimed him to be – may God curse them – when he changed in the womb and moved from one state to another, as he said God Almighty:He creates you in your mothers’ wombs, one creation after another, in three layers of darkness. That is Allah, your Lord. His is the dominion; there is no god but Him. So how will you turn away?“[Az-Zumar: 6]”[6]I finish.
