13 - Creation of the angels

Indeed, We have created man out of sounding clay, out of black mud moulded into shape, (26) whereas the jinn We had created before him out of the fire of scorching winds.

Indeed, We create man out of the essence of clay, (12) then We place him, a gamete, in a safe place of rest. (13) Then We create out of the gamete a clinging cell mass, and out of the clinging cell mass We create an embryo. Then We create within the embryo bones, then We clothe the bones with flesh. We then bring this into being as another creation. Exalted be God, the best of creators.

He created man from dried clay, like pottery, (14) and created the jinn from raging flames of fire.

Believers! Guard yourselves and your families against a fire fuelled by people and stones, over which are appointed angels, stern and mighty, who never disobey God in whatever He commands them and always do what they are bidden to do.
