(15:23) And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor. (15:24) And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. (15:25) And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing. (15:26) And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud. (15:27) And the jinn We created before from scorching fire. (15:28) And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud. (15:29) And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."
