This shows you're a stupid person. How do you expect 1400 years to be the same as these normal times?

مَسْنُونٌ [Bitten with the teeth: whence, app., what next follows]. You say أَرْضٌ مَسْنُونَــةٌ and ↓ سَنِينٌ meaning Land of which the herbage has been eaten.

Ibn Kathir
(of altered mud) means the dried clay that comes from mud, which is soil. "Altered'' here means smooth.

Abu ala Maududi
"Masnun" has a double meaning: (a) "rotten clay which has become greasy" (b) clay which has been molded into a shape." It is clear from the wording of the text that at first the image of man was made of clay from rotten earth and when it dried up, soul was breathed into it.

Thus the Qur'an positively refutes the Darwinian theory of Evolution that man came into existence after passing through continuous genetic adaptations. It will, therefore, be a futile attempt, as some modernized commentators have done, to prove that theory from the Qur'an.

Al Jalalayn
And verily We created man, Adam, out of a dry [clinking] clay, that gives off a clinking sound when it is tapped, of malleable mud, black [mud].

Kashani Kashani
And verily We created man out of a dry [clinking] clay of malleable mud, that is, out of the four admixed elements, since ḥamaÌ is mud that changes and masnūn is that [mud] on which water is poured until it is rid of hard or rough particles that are intemperate and are resistant to the acceptance of the form that is to be conceptualised from it; al-ṣalṣāl is that [clay] which is penetrated by air and becomes dry by heating.

Tafsir Ibn Abbas
(Verily We created man) Adam (of potter's clay) of dry clay (of black mud altered) clay that stinks; it is also said that this means: shaped clay.

Asrar Kashf Al Asrar
Kaʿb said to a man among those sitting with him, “Ask Ibn ʿUmar from what God created Adam.” Ibn ʿUmar said, “He created Adam from five things: clay, water, fire, light, and wind.”

At Ibn ʿUmar's response, Kaʿb said, “Sit with him, for surely he is a man of knowledge.” What is understood from this report is that the Exalted Lord created Adam from five things: clay, water, fire, light, and wind.

Muhammad Sarwar: We have created the human being out of pure mud-moulded clay

Mohsin Khan: And indeed, We created man from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud.

Edip-Layth: We have created the human being from hardened clay of aged mud.

Muhammad Asad: AND, INDEED, We have created man out of sounding clay, out of dark-slime transmuted

Sahih International: And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.

Pickthall: Verily We created man of potter's clay of black mud altered,

Yusuf Ali: We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape;

Shakir: And certainly We created man of clay that gives forth sound, of black mud fashioned in shape.

Albaqr: ORIGIN OF LIFE

Why is it alien to some skeptics that Adam was created from "clay"? We are not giving the idea of molding clay into human form blah blah blah blah blah. Anyway, watch this:

true2god:
It will be fair for you to understand the context surah albaqra 256. This is not a general rule for religious freedom in Islam according to the tafsir of Ibn Kathir on this ayah (quran 2:256). And again surah 9 (the last surah of the quran) of the quran abrogated all the previous surah (according to Ibn Kathir). So if you want to make a final decision on this matter, surah 9 will give you a better guide and nowhere did surah 9 advocated for religious freedom.

42:48
But if they turn away, then We did not send you as their guardian. You are only required to deliver.

88:21-22
So remind, only you are a reminder. You are not over them a controller/supervisor.

5:99
The only duty of the messenger is to deliver. God knows what you reveal and what you conceal.

24:54
Say: "Obey God, and obey the messenger." But if you turn away, then he is only responsible for his obligation, and you are responsible for your obligations. And if you obey him, you will be guided. The messenger is only required to deliver clearly.

And lower your wing for any who follow you of the believers. But, if they disobey you, say: "I am innocent from what you do." And put trust in the All mighty, Most merciful

So leave me Me and whoever denies this message. We'll lead them from where not they know.

There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way.

Say, "The truth is from your Lord, whoever desires may acknowledge, and whoever desires may reject.

Jami` at-Tirmidhi » Chapters on Virtues
"Whoever cheats the Arabs, he will not be included in my intercession, and my love shall not reach him."

Sahih Muslim » The Book of Prayer - Funerals
If a company of Muslims numbering one hundred pray over a dead person, all of them interceding for him, their intercession for him will be accepted.

Jami` at-Tirmidhi » Chapters on the description of the Day of Judgement
"My intercession is for the people who committed the major sins in my Ummah."

LordReed2nd: LoL! I was expecting this answer. The Qur'an's purported intricate numeric patterns pales in comparison with feats of mathematical genius men have come up with. Just as an example it will take a supercomputer till the end of the universe to break the strongest encryption codes men have devised.

true2god: Quite interesting! If only you can justify your claims by providing evidence from Islamic source documents.

tintingz: I disagree, i don't think the arabs in 7th century were all illiterates.

I don't see how this is a miracle and make any sense. Anybody can formulate anything out like a puzzle. Why not present this numerical miracle of the Quran and it usefulness.

Mention them.

And where is the splitted moon?

I can write a well rational and scientific revelation that will beat the Quran challenge.

Unfortunately the Quran didn't mention any parameters as to meet the Quran challenge.

He's a Quranist, he doesn't believe in the Hadith.
