Asalaamu alaikum Gambia-L,
Alhamdullila,
We are back again to share with you the words of Allah!
CREATION OF MAN
A REVIEW OF QURAN & MODERN EMBRYOLOGY
Embryological and biological studies of human life show this to be a
continuous evolutionary process.These evolutionary processes take
place in the hidden compartments of a mother`s womb beyond the
reach of naked human eye in a way unimaginable to ordinary
person.After centuries of research scientists only,in the recent
past,are able to describe these processes,which the Quran
described clearly and beautifully 14 centuries ago.
These processes can be divided into two parts:-
(1)Celluar Division.
(2)Organ formation and getting shape.
(1) INTRAUTERINE CELLULAR DIVISION
FERTILIZATION OF OVUM
Modern science tells us that the beginning of human creation is by
the fertilization of female ovum with the male spermotozoa resulting
in the formation of a zygote.While reminding human beings of their
humble origin and benevolence & power of their creator Allah!(God)
the Highest,has narrated this process at several places in the Quran.
Some of these are:-
"Was not he a cell from semen which was introduced,(or qushed
forth)"?
This is a quotation from the Quran.See the chapter (AL-QIAMAH)
Verse 75:37.
"So let man think from what he is created from a qushing flued that
is issued from between sacrum and symphisis pubis.
(AL-TARIQ,86:5 to 7)"
"Then he made his seed(or progeny)from a despised fluid"
(AL-SAJDA,32:8)
"Indeed we cread man from a mixed or mingled fluid."
(AL-DAHAR,76:2)
Anatomical & physiological studies today tell us that:-
i. Semen is a prerequisite for conception.
ii. Seminal passages indeed lie in the pelvic cavity between
sacrum(SULB)and symphisis pubis(TRAIB)or.
iii. Spermatic fluid which comes out of these passages is a
mixture of secretions from the following glands:-
a. Testicles
b. Seminal vesicles.
c. Prostate gland.
d. Glands of urinary tract.
(Cooper`s Meyer`s Or Liter`s Glands)
The above facts were quoted by the Quran in the 7th century when
nothing like modern anatomy or physiology existed.
ZYGOTE - THE BEGINNING OF EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT
The second Quranic principle of biological evolution of man is that it
began from a single cell. This is clearly stated at several place in the
Quran:-
"O Mankind be careful of your duty to your Lord who created you
from a single cell."
(AL-NISA,4:1)
"And He is the One who has produced you from a single cell."
(AL-ANAM,6:98)
"And he created you from one cell."
(AL-ZOMAR,39:6)
" Your creation and your resurrection are only as the creation and
raising from a single cell."
(LUQMAN,31:28)
In modern terminology this single cell is called a fertilized ovum or
zygote.This single cell works as a complete unit which can develop
and evolve into a future person.The concept of zygote being a
compound cell is clearly mentioned in the following verse of Quran.
"Indeed We created man from a mixed cell.Then We make him
hearing and seeing."
This verse also reflects the beauty of Allah`s(God) providence that
he created all the potentialities of a fully grown up person with
auditory,visual and comprehending faculties.
This is part one it will be continue next time,by the power of the
Almighty Allah!(God)
We will discuss about the PROCESS OF CELLULAR DIVISION
Bye for now until next time.
May Allah! give us good understanding,longlife,goodhealth and
progress...Ameen!!!!!
Yours.......
