(Noah) 71 : 14
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا

And surely He has created you stage by stage.

Mankind who was created in the Paradise has seven phases. While the first man Adam was created in the Paradise, the soul of entire mankind till the last Day was also created. As explained in verse 7: 172, then Lord Allah held covenant from each one by asking “Am I not your Lord?”, and everyone made covenant agreeing “Yes, we do witness”. This is the first phase of mankind. Then everyone is sent down to earth by depositing in the nape of Adam. Then through the nape of the progenies of Adam everyone is reached to his/her father’s nape. The soul situated in the nape of father is transferred through an Angel to the developing embryo in the womb of mother in fourth month. Up to this is the second phase. The child in the womb which already has life on getting the soul also becomes having Rooh (Life+ Soul). The period from this until the age of fifteen is the third phase. Any child dying before attaining fifteen years will return to the Paradise as taught by Lord through His Messenger. The life in this world from the age of fifteen until the death is the fourth phase. The aim of fourth phase of life is to identify the Lord by utilizing Adhikr-Lord’s Book, identify himself, try to keep the universe in its equilibrium, prepare the Paradise from here and to inherit the Paradise after death. As explained in verse 23: 100, the period between death and resurrection is the ‘Burzaq’ which is the fifth phase. As explained in verse 70: 4, the Day of Judgement, the period of which is fifty thousand years is the sixth phase. Those who have received Lord’s Book and have prepared Paradise from the fourth phase will get Paradise in the Hereafter, while those who do not prepare Paradise after getting Lord’s Book will get Hellfire. The life in the Paradise and Hell is the seventh phase. As explained in verse 2: 62, those who have not received Lord’s Book will be sent to any other world than Paradise and Hell. It is particularly notable that after the creation of soul, it passes through different stages, and it never perishes. See explanation 4: 1; and 76: 1 .
