Hasn’t a long period passed for man when he was nothing worth mentioning?
Mankind has seven phases as explained in verse 71: 14. It is about the second phase this verse mentions. That is the period between reaching the soul to the father’s nape until child is formed in mother’s womb. Since the duration of this phase is unable to be fixed or can’t be mentioned in anyway, about this period it is told in verse as “long period nothing worth mentioning”. Since all mankind were created in Paradise in the same time, and will be brought for Judgement in the same Day, the duration of one to seven phases totally of everyone is the same. The only difference is that for the ancestors, the duration of second phase is less and fifth phase is more comparing the duration of descendants, whereas for the descendants, the duration of second phase is more and fifth phase is less comparing to the duration of ancestors. It is Lord Allah who brings everyone in which country, colour, through which parents, in which sex He intends, and no one has the right to select these things. If mankind identifies this Lord and himself from Adhikr, there won’t be any superiority, inferiority, discrimination, struggle, etc. among mankind on the basis of religion, caste, community, race, sex, color, nation, etc. So only with Adhikr-the Food, Clothe and sight of human soul-it is possible to form harmony of mankind by annihilating bloodshed and all mischievous activities.
As explained in verse 2: 62, since there is no a group of believers anywhere in the world to witness the life of Messenger to other people belonging to Messenger’s community such as Jains, Budhas, Hindus, Christians, etc. they will not be sent to the fire. Instead, they will be sent to any other world than Paradise or fire after making them drink from “Kauser lake” with which there will be no hunger or thirst thereafter as explained in verses 108: 1-3. See explanation 4: 1; 7: 172-173 and 49: 13.
