1. The document discusses several scientific miracles described in the Quran and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad relating to human embryonic development, sex determination, and anatomy. 2. It presents verses from the Quran and hadith that describe embryonic development stages like nutfah, alaqah, and mudghah that correlate to modern scientific understanding. 3. Quotes from scientists like Professor Keith Moore acknowledge that descriptions in the Quran predate scientific discovery by centuries and thus indicate divine origin.

development

6. “ We created man from the quintessence of
mud. Then We made him as a nutfah (drop) in
a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We
made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended
thing, and blood clot), then We made the
alaqah into a mudghah (chewed lump). The
chewed lump is fashioned into bones which are
then covered with flesh. Then We nurse him
unto another act of creation. Blessed is God, the
best of artisans ”
QURAN :23 ; 12-

8. Male Nutfah ( Sperm)
Female Nutfah (Ovum)
Mixed nutfah (Zygote)
The Nutfah literally
means “a drop of
fluid”:

9. The male Nutfah
( sperm )
“ Does man think that he is left to
himself to waste his life!! Was he
not a mere nutfah (drop of fluid)
out of Semen that has been
ejaculated ? ”
Quran: 75 ; 36-
40

10. “ God fashioned both male
and female from a nutfah
(drop of fluid) that has been
ejaculated.”
Quran: 53 ; 45-46:
The male Nutfah
( sperm )

11. The Prophet Mohammad (Peace
be Upon him) said:
“ Not from the whole fluid
(ejaculated), man is created, but
only from a small portion of it”
Sperms are part of the semen

12. “Let Man then observe out of what
he has been created; he has been
created out of gushing water
(ejaculated fluid), which comes out
from between the vertebral column
and the ribs”
Quran: 86;5-9
Sperms are produced by Testes

13. Sperm Testes
100 Millions sperm/ml of
semen
( 300 Million sperms/ejaculate )
Semen Prostate
and
seminal vesicle

14. The female
Nutfah
( ovum )
A Jew has asked the Prophet the
following question:
“O Mohammed. Tell me from what thing
man is created”.
The Prophet answered:
“O Jew. From both male Nutfah (sperm)
and female Nutfah (ovum) man is
created”.

15. “Verily We have created
man from a drop of mingled
liquids”
Quran: 76;2
The mixed nutfah
(Zygote)

16. Alaqah

17. Literally, the Arabic word
alaqah
has three meanings:
1. leech
2. suspended thing
3. blood clot

18. leech

19. suspended thing

20. blood clot

21. Alaqah
This description (Alaqa ) is far
more specific than the current
used scientific term ( Blastula )
Prof. Moore and Prof. Persaud
,the pioneers in embryology,
stated:

22. Mudghah

23. Mudghah

25. Bones and
flesh

26. QURAN : 23 ; 12-14
The chewed lump is
fashioned into
bones which are
then covered with
flesh

27. “And look at the bones
how We bring them
together and cover
them with flesh.”
QURAN : 2 ; 259

28. Another act of
creation

29. Another act of
creation
Then We nurse him unto another
act of creation
QURAN : 23 ; 12-14

31. Sex determination
genetic level

32. “ God fashioned both male and
female from a nutfah (drop of
fluid) that has been ejaculated.”
Quran: 53 ; 45-46:
Sex determination

33. Sperm : Y or X
Ovum : X only
If Y sperm
fertilize ovum
( XY )
Male
If X sperm
fertilize ovum
Sex determination
( XX )
Female

34. Sex differentiation
External level

35. Sex differentiation
The Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him)
said:
“When 42 days pass after the Nutfah settles in
the womb, God sends an angel to shape it and
create its hearing, its vision, its skin, its flesh
and bones, and then the angel says:
“O God, Is it a boy or a girl?”
and God dictates whatever He wants.”
Narrated by Muslim.

36. Statements of
prominent
scientists
on embryological
development
in Quran and
sunnah

37. :
“ It is clear to me that these
statements must have come to
Muhammad from God, because
almost all of this knowledge was
not discovered until many centuries
later. This proves to me that
Muhammad must have been a
messenger of God.”
Seventh Medical Conference,
King Faisal university ,Saudi Arabia -1981
Professor Keith L Moore

38. Consequently, Professor Moore
was asked the following question:
“ Does this mean that you believe
that the Quran is the word of
God? ”
He replied: “I find no difficulty in
accepting this”

39. Furthermore, Professor Moore
stated:
( it is proposed that a new system
of classification could be developed
using the terms mentioned in the
Quran and Sunnah )
Later on it was included in his
book, human development
published in 1986.

40. )Since the Prophet Muhammad could
neither read nor write, Muhammad
must be a messenger who relayed
this truth, which was revealed to him
as an enlightenment by the one who
is eligible [as the] creator.
Professor Tejatat Tejasen is the
Chairman of the Department of
Anatomy at Chiang Mai University,
Thailand

41. This creator must be God.
Therefore, I think this is the time to
say La ilaha illa Allah, there is
no god to worship except Allah
)God), Muhammadur rasoolu Allah,
Muhammad is Messenger of Allah)

42. Sensory function of
skin
“Surely! Those who disbelieved in Our
Ayat ( proofs, verses, signs etc) We shall
burn them in fire. As often as their skins
are roasted through, We shall change
them for other skins that they may taste
the punishment. Truly Allah is Ever
most powerful, All-Wise.”
Quran: 5 ; 56

43. NERVES

44. ) No! If he does not stop, We will
take him by the naseyah )front of
the head), a lying, sinful naseyah! )
Function of frontal
lobe of brain
Quran, 96:15-16

45. What is the relationship between the front
of the head and lying and sinfulness?
Why did the Quran describe the front of the
head as being lying and sinful?
Why didn’t the Quran say that the
person was lying and sinful?
Questions to be raised

47. “The motivation and the foresight to plan
and initiate movements occur in the
anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the
prefrontal area”
Essentials of Anatomy &
Physiology
“the prefrontal area is also thought to be
the functional center for aggression”

48. So, this area of the brain is
responsible for planning,
motivating, and initiating good
and sinful behavior and is
responsible for the telling of lies
and the speaking of truth
