    Creation Of Humans And Jinns.

    Posted by Mohammed Zubair Alam on January 25, 2022 at 1:48 am

    (15:26) Surely We brought man into being out of dry ringing clay which was wrought from black mud,

    (15:27) while We had brought the jinn into being before out of blazing fire.

    Here “mud” and “fire” are used as metaphor or humans are actually made up of mud and jins are made up of fire?

    For Allah nothing is impossible but according to my observation, I think these words are used in a metaphorical way.

    A word used a metaphor or literally is to be determined by the established rules and styles of a language. It cannot be a guesswork. The creation of man from mud had been described in detail in the Quran and different stages of his creation during this process have been described. It is no way a metaphor. The same goes for the creation of Jinns from fire which is describes in parallel to human creation.
