The document discusses various topics related to Islam and science, including evolution, reproduction, embryology, physiology, ecosystems, bioterrorism, cloning, and medicine. It provides Islamic perspectives on these topics by citing verses from the Quran and the works of early Muslim scientists like Al-Jahiz and Ibn Khaldun. For example, it notes that the Quran describes Adam being created from earth and water, which is consistent with theories of evolution. It also discusses verses related to fetal development stages and determination of sex.

5. ISLAM & THE
THEORY OF EVOLUTION
THERE ARE TWO MAIN THEORIES
WHICH DESCRIBES US ABOUT THE
EVOLUTION OF ORGANISMS ON
EARTH.
THEORY OF NATURAL SELECTION .
THEORY OF SPECIAL CREATION.
6. EVOLUTION
ABOUT SCIENCE
According to theory of special creation ,all
organisms are came into existence in their
present forms especially and specially created by
nature. Among the believers of special creation
was also carlous Linnaeus.
Theory of natural selection says that organisms
have evolve through time
7. THE QURANIC ACCOUNT
Adam was created from earth and water
God breathed His Spirit into Adam’s body
God taught Adam “all the Names”
(the angels did not know them)
God taught eloquent speech to Man
Adam was a “Perfect Man”
No “young earth” teaching
A fierce debate rages today between “Muslim creationists” such as
Harun Yahya and Muslim evolutionists
8. EVOLUTION
CONTINUE
With one type of organisms give rise to
another type of organisms an ancient one
existing among the days of Aristotle.
Sciences says that the evolution of
eukaryotes also take place from
prokaryotes, in favour of it ,There are two
hypothesis such as
Endosymbiont hypothesis
Membrane Invagination hypothesis
9. EVOLUTION
ABOUT ISLAM
Islam also stress's to study the evolution.
ALLAH says in holy Quran ……
Adam was created from earth and water
Life evolved from earth and water
God breathed His Spirit into Adam’s body
Ibn Arabi: intellectual and spiritual faculties
reached full maturity in humanity
cf. Polkinghorne: human self-awareness is the
greatest moment of history
10. WORK OF MUSLIM SCIENTISTS ON
EVOLUTION
Al-Jahiz (9th century) & the “Struggle
for Existence”
Influence of environment on animal
survival
Ibn Miskawayh & the Brethren of
Purity (Persia, 10th century)
Worlds:
Mineral → Plant → Animal → (Monkey)
→ Human
11. IBN KHALDUN (14TH CENTURY)
“One should then look at the world of creation. It
started out from the minerals and progressed, in an
ingenious, gradual manner, to plants and animals. The
last stage of minerals is connected with the first stage of
plants, such as herbs and seedless plants. The last stage
of plants, such as palms and vines, is connected with the
first stage of animals, such as snails and shellfish which
have only the power of touch. The word ‘connection’
with regard to these created things means that the last
stage of each group is fully prepared to become the first
stage of the next group …
12. IBN KHALDUN (CONT’D)
“ … The animal world then widens, its species become numerous, and,
in a gradual process of creation, it finally leads to man, who is able to
think and to reflect. The higher stage of man is reached from the world
of the monkeys, in which both sagacity and perception are found, but
which has not reached the stage of actual reflection and thinking. At
this point we come to the first stage of man. This is as far as our
(physical) observation extends.”
The Muqaddimah – An Introduction to History by Ibn Khaldun, trans.
Franz Rosenthal, Princeton University Press, 2005, p. 75
13. REPRODUCTION
ABOUT SCIENCE
Reproduction is the mechanism that produces
new generations and maintains species.
Reproduction is of two types sexual and asexual.
Asexual reproduction includes such as fission ,
budding ,parthenogenesis etc.
14. REPRODUCTION
ABOUT SCIENCE
Sexual reproduction involve two parents while
asexual just single.
In animals, male produce sperm and female
produce egg which on fertilization produce
zygote.
In plants. Alternation of generation is present
such as Diploid sporophyte and haploid
gametophyte.
17. EMBRYOLOGY
Modern Science Quran
Blood clot (relativity
amount of blood present in
the embryo during this
state does not circulate
until the end of 3/52)
We made him as a drop in
(of blood) a place of
settlement firmly fixed
then we made a drop into
an “ALAQAH” (Suspended
Structure)
(QURAN : 23:12-14)
19. MIRACLES OF ISLAM
FETAL DEVELOPMENT DURING
PREGNANCY
The Qur'anic verses are referring that the First phase of
creation is (“1-NUTFA”) which was kept in place that is
described in Arabic as (“QARAR MAKIN”); The Second
Phase of Creation is (“2-ALAKA”), The Third Phase of
Creation is (“3-MUDGHA”). The Subject is Referring to
Fetal development during Pregnancy
21. THE FIRST PHASE OF CREATION
“ZYGOTE IN ENGLISH = NUTFA IN ARABIC”
In The Arabic-Dictionary the Arabic word “QARAR “Refer to
Thinks and Matters that has settled down in a meaning that it
has reached to an end and settled. ALSO the word “QARAR”
Refer to a circular bottom of an object which seizes water in it
In the Arabic-Dictionary the word “MAKIN” means “SOLID”
In the Arabic Dictionary the Word “NUTFA” has Several Meaning
Depends on its place in the Phrase so the Word NUTFA Means
“Male & Female Sperm” and the Word NUTFA means “A Tiny
Drop of Water in a Bottom of a Bucket”
23. THE SECOND PHASE OF CREATION
“BLASTULA IN ENGLISH = ALAKA IN ARABIC”
The Second Phase is the “ALAKA”. The “ALAKA” Word has
several meanings in the Arabic language and one of the most
important meaning of it that “IT STICKS TO SOMETHING” similar
to the mud in someone hands when building a mud house and
that is scientifically true because the ZYGOTE migrate through the
fallopian tube to become a BLASTULA that implants it self to the
Uterine Lining in the Mother Uterus in a STICKING act. Also in
Arabic the word “ALAKA” has a dual meaning and the second
meaning refers to something that is sucking blood which is also
scientifically true because the “BLASTULA” begins feeding by
sucking blood as it implant it self or stick it self to the wall of the
UTERUS.
24. DIAGRAM OF SECOND PHASE OF
CREATION
Human Development: Blastula (Sixth Day):
5 to 6 days after fertilization, the zygote has divided several times and the embryo is
composed of a 100 cells in the shape of a ball with a fluid filled cavity (Inside); at this
stage the embryo will be called blastula.
25. THE THIRD PHASE OF CREATION
“GASTRULA IN ENGLISH = MUDGHA IN ARABIC”
The Third phase in creation is the “MUDGHA” and in the
Arabic dictionary the word MUDGHA refers to something
that starts of being chewed and Divides such as a piece
of meat being crushed by a pair of tooth and normally
when something starts to be chewed it changes in
shape and starts moving apart and that is how the
GASTRULA behaves as the first sign of visible
movement becomes active with the GASTRULA.
27. THE GASTRULA SPREADS TO FORM THE 3
PRINCIPAL LOCATIONS ACC. TO QURAN
He Created you from a single soul, then from it he created its spouse. And he
sent down to you eight pairs of the cattle. He creates you in your mothers' womb,
creating after creation, in three stages of darkness. Such then is ALLAH, your
Lord. For Him is the Kingdom. There is no god expect Him. How, then, can you
turn away?
28. DETERMINATION OF THE SEX OF THE
BABY
Until fairly recently, it was thought that a baby's sex was
determined by the mother's cells. Or at least, it was
believed that the sex was determined by the male and
female cells together
The Quran is the only ancient book that states that sex is
determined by the sperms
"He has created both sexes, male and female from a
drop of a sperm which has been ejected." (The Qur'an,
53:45-46)
29. BREAST FEEDING
Modern Science Quran
BreastFeeding: (Pediatric Clinic of
North America):
Do better in schools.
Betterlong term health.
Protects against certain neoplasms
Lymphoma.
Themother Willbreastfeedtheir
children for two whole years,(that is)
for those (parents)who desire to
complete the term of breast feeding”
(Quran 1: 233).
30. MEDICINE
Modern Science Quran
Osteoporosis:(ThinBone):
The wall (cortex) of long bones becomes
thinner inner diameter of the bone
increases;
why? Resistance to bending forces ͚ (R)3 of
a cylinder.
.
The vertebrae collapse and person
becomes shorteragain
“…andwhom wegrant long life, WE(GOD)him
in creation,Will theynot (humanbeings) then
understand (our/ GOD‟ssigns)?(Quran 36:
68)
31. MEDICINE
High Altitudes (HA):
Human beings lungs passes by three
stages
AMS : Acute mountain sickness = Chest
tightness
HAPE : HA pulmonary oedema =
Critical HACE : HA cerebral oedema =
Critical
“andwhomsoever GODwills to guide,
HE(GOD) open his chest to Islam, and
whomsoever HE (GOD)wills to send
astray, HE(GOD)makes his chest tight
andcritical,asif he is going up in the
sky”.
Modern Science QURAN
32. MEDICINE
MODERN SCIENCE Quran
Prove that:
Menstrual blood is harmful for a
man
Premenstrual tension.
They ask you (Mohammad PBUH) about
menstruation (in females) say: ‘’It is
harmful for man, therefore, avoid females
during the time of menses and don’t
approach them till they get purified (have
a shower/bath)”
33. CLONING & ISLAM
For this work we used the opinion of a sheik named Aly Abdoune,
who states that Islam encourages any scientific breakthrough that
will benefit humans, but Islam condemns therapeutic cloning.
Human beings are not created in pieces and can’t be subjected to
experiments.
Every creature is God's work, which installs souls into bodies, not
pieces, but as a whole.
34. CLONING CONT.…
So, according to Islam, cloning humans is murder, it is disrespectful
to the next, is a violation of the basic right to life where heredity is
not respected.
The sheik Abound concludes that creating a machine to assist in
maintaining the life of a creature is something encouraged by
Islam.
35. CONCLUSION
Like the catholic Church, also other religions scattered across the
globe present a nefarious vision about the process of human
cloning, although every religion has its principles, laws and
characteristics, it is possible to identify some doctrinal principles
common and different between them, such as: • cloning would
destroy the unity of marriage and parenthood. • cloning subjects a
person to be treated as an object.
In the other hand, we can see that only Judaism defends
therapeutic cloning.
36. SIDE EFFECT OF CLONING
The maximum chances of disease.
Weakness of immune system.
Heart and blood problems.
Short life.
37. BIOTERRORISM AND BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS
The use of bio-terrorism and bio-warfare dates back
to 6thcentury when the Assyrians poisoned the well
water of their enemies.
The goal of using biological weapons is to cause
massive sickness or death in the intended target.
38. THERE ARE TWO BASIC CATEGORIES OF
BIOLOGICAL WARFARE AGENTS.
Microorganisms
living organic germs, such as anthrax (bacillus anthrax).
Bacteria –Viruses
Toxins
By-products of living organisms (natural poisons) such as botulism
(botulinum toxin) which is a byproduct of growing the microorganism
clostridium botulinum
39. ECOSYSTEM
ABOUT SCIENCE
The study of relationship of organism to their environment is
known as ecology describes by science.
There are two basics components of ecosystem,
Biotic component
Abiotic component
40. ECOSYSTEM
ABOUT SCIENCE
The study of relationship of organism to their environment is known as
ecology describes by science.
There are two basics components of ecosystem,
Biotic component
Abiotic component
41. ECOSYSTEM
ABOUT SCIENCE
Such as producers ,consumers and the decomposers.
Abiotic component
Such as atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere
Biotic component
43. PHYSIOLOGY
This verse is taken from the chapter an-Nahl:
“Verily, in cattle there is a lesson for yon. I give you drink from their
insides, coming from a conjunction between the digested contents
( of the intestines ) and the blood, milk pure and pleasant for those
who drink it.” Qur’an, 16:66
