Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Salafi Approvedيقول تعالى مخبرا أنه الذي أحسن خلق الأشياء وأتقنها وأحكمها وقال مالك عن زيد بن أسلم "الذي أحسن كل شيء خلقه" قال أحسن خلق كل شيء كأنه جعله من المقدم والمؤخر ثم لما ذكر تعالى خلق السماوات والأرض شرع في ذكر خلق الإنسان فقال تعالى "وبدأ خلق الإنسان من طين" يعني خلق أبا البشر آدم من طين.

Salafi Approved{ الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ } أي: كل مخلوق خلقه اللّه، فإن اللّه أحسن خلقه، وخلقه خلقًا يليق به، ويوافقه، فهذا عام.ثم خص الآدمي لشرفه وفضله فقال: { وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ الْإِنْسَانِ مِنْ طِينٍ } وذلك بخلق آدم عليه السلام، أبي البشر.
Tafsir al-Muyassar
Salafi Approvedالله الذي أحكم خلق كل شيء، وبدأ خَلْقَ الإنسان، وهو آدم عليه السلام من طين.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
The Creation of Man in Stages Allah tells us that He has created everything well and formed everything in a goodly fashion. Malik said, narrating from Zayd bin Aslam: الَّذِى أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُ (Who made everything He has created good) means, "He created everything well and in a goodly fashion." When Allah mentions the creation of the heavens and the earth, He follows that by mentioning the creation of man. Allah says: وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ الإِنْسَـنِ مِن طِينٍ (and He began the creation of man from clay.) meaning, He created the father of mankind, Adam, from clay. ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهُ مِن سُلاَلَةٍ مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ (Then He made his offspring from semen of despised water.) means, they reproduce in this fashion, from a Nutfah which comes from the loins of men and from between the ribs of women. ثُمَّ سَوَّاهُ (Then He fashioned him in due proportion,) means, when He created Adam from clay, He created him and gave him shape and made him upright. وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالاٌّبْصَـرَ وَالاٌّفْئِدَةَ (and breathed into him the soul; and He gave you hearing, sight and the sense of deduction.) means, reason. قَلِيلاً مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ (Little is the thanks you give!) means, for these strengths with which Allah has provided you; the one who is truly blessed is the one who uses them to worship and obey his Lord, may He be exalted and glorified.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Salafi Approvedبہترین خالق بہترین مصور ومدور فرماتا ہے اللہ تبارک وتعالیٰ نے ہر چیز کو قرینے سے بہترین طور سے ترکیب پر خوبصورت بنائی ہے۔ ہر چیز کی پیدائش کتنی عمدہ کیسی مستحکم اور مضبوط ہے۔ آسمان و زمین کی پیدائش کیساتھ ہی خود انسان کی پیدائش پر غور کرو۔ اس کا شروع دیکھو کہ مٹی سے پیدا ہوا ہے۔ ابو البشر حضرت آدم ؑ مٹی سے پیدائے ہوئے۔ پر ان کی نسل نطفے سے جاری رکھی جو مرد کی پیٹھ اور عورت کے سینے سے نکلتا ہے۔ پھر اسے یعنی آدم کو مٹی سے پیدا کرنے کے بعد ٹھیک ٹھاک اور درست کیا اور اس میں اپنے پاس کی روح پھونکی۔ تمہیں کان آنکھ سمجھ عطا فرمائی۔ افسوس کہ پھر بھی تم شکر گذاری میں کثرت نہیں کرتے۔ نیک انجام اور خوش نصیب وہ شخص ہے جو اللہ کی دی ہوئی طاقتوں کو اسی کی راہ میں خرچ کرتا ہے۔ جل شانہ وعزاسمہ
