THE MIRACLE OF AL-QURA’AN (16)

From Islamic Point of Views
(Continuation from 09/26/2006)
b) The Gender of Child

“That He did create in pairs, - male and female (45), From a seed when lodged (in its place)(46) (QS, An-Najm 53: 45, 46)

The latest research had shown the similarity with Al-Qur’an about the gender had decided by the separation of the sperm. The male XY chromosome and the women is XX, will mix in the mother’s womb. If the XY had been mixed, the fetus will become a boy and when XX mixed it will be the girl. In Islam, every child must put the word of “bin” or “binti” referred to their father name. Father’s genes will carried his descendents.

c) The piece of blood adherent on Uterus.

“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 bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then We developed out of it another creature. So blessed be God, the best to create!”
(QS, Al-Mukminun 23: 14)

The latest research is same with had explain in al-Qur’an since 1400 years before.

d) The three of fetus progression in the womb

“He created you (all) from a single Person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and He sent down for you eight head(1) of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three viels of darkness.(2) Such is God, your Lord and Cherisher: to him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)? (QS, Az-Zumar 39: 6)

The research of medical science too had found the proof about the progression stages fetus in mother’s womb. The stages is pre-embryonic (2.5 - 5.5 weeks), Embryonic (5.5 – 8 weeks) and Fetus (8-30 weeks, in this stage, the fetus had look like a human in 3cm measurement), then they will grew up until they had been birthed.

(1) Where four kinds of cattle are mentioned in pairs in connection with certain Arab superstitions which are the condemned. Here the same four kinds are mentioned as representative of domesticated cattle given by God as useful to man. These are sheep, goats, camels, and oxen. In Arab idiom the horse is not included among “cattle”.
For the wisdom and goodness of God in granting man dominion over cattle.
(2) The three viels of darkness which cover the unborn child are: the caul of membrane, the womb, and the hollow in which the womb is enclosed. But we might understand “three” in a cumulative rather than a numerical case. [4252]
