The complexities of human reproduction were decoded
and
understood only after the invention of the microscope which was
hundreds
of years after the death of Muhammad, peace he on him. However, the
Qur'an
refers to the stages of development that human embryo undergoes. Allah
says:"Man we did create from a quintessence (of clay);Then we placed him as (adrop 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 (foetus) lump; then We made out of that
lump
hones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it
another
creature. So blessed he Allah. The Best to create!"7.As it has been scientifically proven, the stages
of human
reporduction 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 reporductive system: it descends into the uterus and
lodges
in the body of the uterus.Once the embryo begins to he 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; 7. turban 23: 12, 13, 14. they lead to
the bone structure, the muscles, the nervous system, the circulation.
and
the viscera, etc»8. In conclusion, Dr. Bucaille ascertains:
«More
than a thousand years before our time, at a period when whimsical
doctrines
still prevailed, men had a knowledge of the Qur'an. The statements it
contains
express in simple terms truths of premordial importance which man has
taken
centuries to discover». 23. The Bible. the Qur'an and Scicnce. p.
