6:151 Say, "Come let me recite to you what your Lord has forbidden for you: that you should not set up anything with Him; and be kind to your parents; and do not kill your born children for fear of poverty, We provide for you and for them; and do not come near lewdness, what is plain of it or subtle; and do not kill the person which God has forbidden, except in justice. That is what He enjoined you that you may comprehend."

Muhammad Asad - The Message Of Quran
Muhammad Asad - End Note 4 (23:12)
The frequent Quranic references to mans being "created out of clay or out of dust" or (as in this instance) "out of the essence (sulalah) of clay point to the fact that his body is composed of various organic and inorganic substances existing on or in the earth, as well as to the continuous transmutation of those substances, through the intake of earth-grown food, into reproductive cells (Razi) - thus stressing man's humble origin, and hence the debt of gratitude which he owes to God for having endowed him with a conscious soul. The past tense in verses 12-14 (lit., "We have created", "We have caused him to remain", etc.) emphasizes the fact that all this has been ordained by God and has been happening again and again ever since man was brought into being by Him; in the above context, this recurrence is brought out best by the use of the present tense.
Muhammad Asad - End Note 5 (23:14)
Lit., "as another creature", i.e., existing independently of the mother's body.
Muhammad Asad - End Note 6 (23:14)
Lit., "the best of creators". As Tabari points out, the Arabs apply the designation "creator" to every artisan (sani) - a usage also current in European languages with reference to the "creation" of works of art and imagination. Since God is the only Creator in the real, primary sense of this word, the phrase ahsan al-khaliqin must be understood in this secondary sense of the term khaliq (cf. Taj al-'Arus, art. khalaqa).
Muhammad Asad - End Note 7 (23:17)
Lit., "seven paths", which may signify the orbits of the visible planets or - as the classical commentators assume - the "seven heavens'' (i.e., cosmic systems) repeatedly spoken of in the Qur'an. In either case, the number "seven" is used metonymically, indicating multiplicity. See in this connection note 20 on 2:29.
Muhammad Asad - End Note 8 (23:20)
I.e., the olive-tree, native to the lands around the eastern Mediterranean, where so many pre-Quranic prophets (here symbolized - because of its sacred associations - by Mount Sinai) lived and preached.
Muhammad Asad - End Note 9 (23:21)
Lit., "of them".

Edip-Layth - Quran: A Reformist Translation
Edip-Layth - End Note 2 (23:14)
Embryo is the name of the stage when the fertilized egg hangs on the wall of uterus. The word alaq, which we translated as embryo has three meanings in Arabic, (1) blood clot; (2) a hanging object; (3) leech. It is normal for medieval commentators who were ignorant of embryology, to render the meaning of the word alaq as "clot," since it is an organic ingredient of the human body. However, it is no excuse for modern commentators and translators who blindly copy from medieval books, to render this word as "clot," since there is not a stage, from fertilization of the embryo until birth, that could be described as "clot." See 46:15; 95:2.
