In which Surah is the story of the creation of man mentioned in the Holy Quran?

The story of the creation of man is mentioned in Surah Al-Imran and also in the Surahs Al-Hijr and Sad.

Quranic Answer

The story of the creation of man is elaborately mentioned in the Holy Quran across several Surahs, but the most significant reference is found in Surah Al-Imran where it states: "Indeed, the example of Jesus in the sight of Allah is like that of Adam. He created him from dust; then He said to him, 'Be,' and he was" (Al-Imran: 59). This verse references the creation of Adam (peace be upon him) and indicates that God created man from clay. Other verses in Surah Al-Hijr (Verse 28) reiterate this truth where He states: "And when your Lord said to the angels, 'I am creating a human being from clay, from molded sludge'" (Al-Hijr: 28), highlighting the fascinating creation of humanity from dust and divine spirit. Moreover, the purpose of this creation is further elaborated in Surah Sad (Verse 72), mentioning: "When your Lord said to the angels, 'I am creating a human being from clay'" (Sad: 72). Thus, we can clearly witness that the creation of man is a magnificent and purposeful act of divine wisdom expressed beautifully throughout the Quran.
