The complexities for human
reproduction were decoded and understood only after the invention of the
microscope which was hundreds of years after the death of Muhammad, peace
be upon him. However, the Qur'an refers to the stages of development that
the human embryo undergoes. Allah says:
Man We
did create from a quintessence (of clay); Then we placed him as (a drop
of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed; Then We made the sperm into a
clot of congealed blood, then of that clot We made a (fetus) lump, then We
made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we
developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah, The Best to
create!"
As it has been scientifically
proven, the stages of human reproduction are:
1. Fertilization of
an ovule which takes place in the Fallopian tubes. The fertilizing agent
is the male sperm.
2. The implantation of the fertilized egg which
takes place at a precise spot in the female reproductive system, it
descends into the uterus and lodges in the body of the uterus.
Once
the embryo begins to be observable to the naked eye, it looks like a small
mass of flesh. It grows there in progressive stages which are very well
known today, they lead to the bone structure, the muscles, the nervous
system, the circulation, and the viscera, etc.
In conclusion, Dr.
Bucaille ascertains: (More than a thousand years before our time, at a
period when whimsical doctrines still prevailed, men had knowledge of the
Qur'an. The statements it contain express in simple terms truths of
primordial importance when man has taken centuries to
discover).
