MIRACLE OF QURAN - THE CREATION OF HUMAN BABY

One God ,One Human Race, So Almighty God has not given rights to any Individual or group who ever may be to  destroy his beautiful creation of  human race in name of  religion, caste, tribes etc. So every one of us should condemn and fight together all kinds of terrorism and extremism. Let's join our hands to gather and spread message of peace. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTELLIGENT DESIGN—IN OTHER WORDS, CREATION

In Order to Create, God Has No Need to Plan

It's important to properly understand the word "design." If God has created a flawless design that does not mean that He first conceived a plan and then followed it. Allah, the Lord of the Earth and the heavens, needs no "designs" in order to bring anything into existence. God is exalted above all such deficiencies. Both His planning and His creation take place at the same instant.

Whenever God wills a thing to come about, it is enough for Him just to say, "Be!"  As we are told in the verses of the Qur'an:

His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, "Be!" and it is. (In Holy Quran Surah Ya Sin: Verses 82)

[God is] the Originator of the heavens and Earth. When He decides on something, He just says to it, "Be!" and it is. (In Holy Quran, Surat Al-Baqara: Verses 117 )

 

CREATION OF HUMAN BABY IN STEPS

1.SEMEN IS A COMPOUND

 

 

Our odyssey, that began with the creation of this liquid compound, led us to acquire such skills as seeing, hearing and other processes of extreme complexity. No man within his senses can attribute his or her perfect creation to the skills of a drop of a mixture and coincidences. The Creator who is Omniscient, Omnipotent, who is exalted and beyond all praise, is the Author of these things as stated in the Quran.

CREATION FROM A DROP

36- Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled?
37- Was he not a drop of semen emitted?
75-The Resurrection, 36-37 [75 SURE AL-QIYAMA, V36-V37]

The Quran says that God who created man watches over him. In verse 37 it is stated that he is created from "a drop of semen." Here again we are in the presence of a scientific fact inaccessible at the time of the Prophet. In this verse, the Arabic words "maney" (semen) and "nutfah" (drop) are differentiated. "Nutfah" means what is left of a liquid in a bucket whose contents have been emptied. Thus the expression refers to a portion and not to all the semen. The semen contains in a single ejaculation, along with its other constituents, sperm numbering between 100 million and 200 million. One out of hundreds of millions of sperm fertilizes the egg. In other words, the zygote, product of the union of two gametes, is but the result of a small part of the semen. The sperm or the spermatozoon, the male gamete, typically consisting of a head containing the nucleus, a middle piece containing a mitochondrion and a comparatively long tail whose structure is similar to that of a lagellum. 

Hundreds of millions of sperm, leaving the male's organ, head for the ovum waving their tails. The distance they cover in the woman's organ of reproduction involves a considerably long journey, if measured in microns the length of a sperm (a micron is equal to one millionth of a meter). To cover such a distance means to swim long distances, kilometers in fact. Many of the sperm die on the way and only a few succeed in reaching the target. Of the multitude of sperm surrounding the egg, only one is allowed to penetrate, barring the way to all others. Half of the genetic data of this sperm is contained in a head of 5 microns. The other genetic code is waiting in the mother's womb. All these are the result of many concurring details. God displays his artistry in every instance.

2.CREATION FROM A QUINTESSENCE AND CHILD'S SEX

 

8- Then made his offspring from the quintessence of the nature of a despised fluid.
32-The Prostration, 8 [32 SURE AS-SAJDAH, V8]

In the 46th chapter, our attention was drawn to the fact that man was created from a quintessence of clay. The Arabic meaning of the word, "quintessence" is "sulala." Just as man is created from a "quintessence" of the earth, he is also created from a "quintessence" of semen. While the word "drop" signifies just a small amount of semen, the word "quintessence" draws attention to the essence of semen. Sperm constitute only a part of the semen, in fact they are the basic element of it. The particular sperm that fertilizes the egg is but a tiny member of hundreds of millions of sperm in semen; it is also the swimmer that reaches the finish, having overtaken all the others. Each of us is the winner sperm's product. Every human being coming to the world has behind him hundreds of millions in this swimming race. We, who are reading these lines, have come out victorious, since we are far ahead of those we have left behind. Each of us has carried the day. And we are the quintessence! 

57- It is We who created you, so why do you not affirm the truth?
58- Do you then see the semen that you emit?
59- Is it you who create it or are We the creator?
56-The Inevitable, 57-59 [56 SURE AL-WAQIYA, V57 - V59]

DETERMINATION OF THE CHILD'S SEX

45- That He did create in pairs, male and female;
46- From a drop of semen which emitted.
53-The Star, 45-46 [53 SURE AN-NAJAM, V45 - V46]

Even today there are still people and families on the husband's side who blame mothers for giving birth to girls rather than to boys. That it is the mother who decides on the sex of her child is a lingering prejudice among the ignorant. Although well-informed scientific circles were exempt from such misconceptions, even they had until quite recently the impression that the child's sex was the joint product of equal contribution by the mother's egg and the father's sperm. The fact that it is the sperm that determines the child's sex has only recently been established. In a fabricated hadith falsely attributed to the Prophet, we read: "Male's water is white. Woman's water is yellow. If the two come together and the man's water overcomes the woman's, a male child is born, if, on the other hand, it is the woman's water that dominates, the child is a girl." One can see that during and centuries after the time of the Prophet the factor that determined the sex of the child was not known. 

The implication in the Quran of the formation of sex is astounding, as it indicates that it is a drop of semen that determines it. The 46 chromosomes that human cells contain form the genetic code of a human being. Two of these determine the child's sex. Male chromosomes are defined as XY and the female ones as XX. The chromosomes are split during ovulation into two each, containing an X chromosome. Some sperms contain X and some Y chromosome. If an X chromosome unites with an X chromosome in the woman's egg, the sex of the child to be born will be female, while a Y chromosome in man uniting with an X chromosome in woman means the offspring will be of the male sex. We see that whether the future child will be a boy or a girl is entirely dependent on the arrival of an X or Y chromosome from the sperm. Biological research continues. The discovery in the1990s of the SRY protein in the Y chromosome, and the conclusions derived from it, have enriched the available data on the issue. This information that the Quran implied more than 1400 years ago was not known until quite recently. We can mention, for example, the story of Henry the VIII, who divorced Catherine his queen for having 168 given him a girl child. This fact, alluded to in the Quran, had also an ironical touch. Women have been blamed for centuries for having been responsible in the determination of the sex of the child they were going to give birth to. The discoveries of science have explained this miraculous event, while ruling out the grounds which put the blame on the woman.

SECURE PLACE

20- Have We not created you from an unassuming fluid?
21- The which We placed in a secure place.
77-The Emissaries, 20-21 [77 SURE AL-MURSALAT, V20-V21]

The uterus is described as a secure place. Being placed in the center of the pelvic cavity, it is well protected. Man's organ is not favored with such an endowment. The uterus is a cavity whose walls are made of muscles and have the shape of a pear. In an adult woman the length of it is 8cm, the width measures 5cm and the height 2.5cm. The uterus, relatively small in size, dilates considerably during the last phase of pregnancy. The weight of it is 50gr while it attains about 1000 gr at the end of pregnancy. The child it holds within it can even exceed 5000 grams. This means that the child is 100 times heavier than the uterus itself. 

It is the only organ that can grow so rapidly and is given to rapid development. With its tightly wedged thick muscles, it protects the fetus, rapidly growing in size, against all kinds of external impacts and adverse conditions. The fetus, exposed to all sorts of dangers, owes its survival to the solid structure of the uterus, its ideal place. The Quran's drawing our attention to the solidity and durability of the womb calls for our studying it more deeply is a proof of the God whose grace protects the fetus against all ill intentions. 

1- In the name of God, Gracious, Merciful.
1-The Prologue, 1 [001 SURE AL-FATEHA, 1 V]

 

3.CREATION IN THREE DARKNESSES

V6- ...He creates you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after the other, in three darkness.
39-The Throngs, V6 [039 SURE AZ-ZAMAR, V6]

The fetus in the mother's womb is a fragile thing. If it were not protected well, heat, cold, temperature variations, impacts or even the mother's sudden movement might kill it or cause it irreparable damage. The three zones within the mother's womb protect the fetus against all sorts of dangers. These are:

1- The abdominal wall,
2- The uterine wall, and
3- The amniotic sac.

With the level of knowledge at the time, this information could not have been available. The fetus continues to develop in the dark of these three regions. The amniotic sac contains a fluid that fills the amnion to protect the embryo from desiccation and shock. This substance is a kind of cushion that absorbs shocks, balances exerted pressures, prevents the amniotic membrane from adhering to the embryo and enables the fetus to change position in the uterus. If the fetus could not easily move in the said fluid, it would remain idle as a mass of flesh and would likely suffer injuries leading to various complications. Equal distribution of heat enables the fetus to be at a constant temperature: 31°C. We observe that our Creator has designed everything perfectly in its minutest detail, satisfying all the requirements of our body and protecting it against the dangers lurking in the outside world.

FROM ONE STAGE TO ANOTHER

It was also said that verse pointed to the fact that during the stages of creation we passed through three different phases of development. According to this view the three veils of darkness refer to:

1- The fallopian tubes: Either of the paired oviducts that extend from ovary to uterus for conduction of the ovum in mammals. The sperm, having fertilized the egg, proceeds on along the fallopian tubes. The zygote during this journey begins to divide and reproduce itself.
2- The uterine wall: The stage during which the embryo hangs on the wall.
3- Amniotic sac: The sac fills with a fluid that surrounds the fetus. The next step of evolution calls for a longer period of development.

A glance at the outward aspect presents a uniformity of sight. But were we to dwindle to the size of a tiny cell and explore the environment, we would see how different these chambers were. The first dark space is reminiscent of a monumental tunnel with respect to the cell. The second compartment is a dark forest where no light penetrates, and the third compartment reflects the dark depths of the sea.

There are three interconnected layers or three spaces through which the fetus passes. God knows whether the reference is to one or to the other. And there are three stages through which the embryo evolves. The three stages in question are:

1- The pre-embryonic stage: This stage is called the "first trimester." As the cells multiply, they get organized in three layers; this process takes two weeks.
2- The embryonic stage: Basic organs begin to emerge from the cell layers. This stage is referred to as the "second trimester" extending from the second week to the eighth week.
3- The fetus stage: The face, hands and feet appear and the human figure is formed. This is the "third trimester" that extends from the 8th week until birth.

Our shaping up takes place in stages, in each of which new evidences emerge. Data relative to embryology have been acquired only in the recent past. Neither before the descent of the Quran, nor in the course of the millennium succeeding it can you find such information available. The Quran indicated the composition of the semen, from a drop of which man was created. The Quran coined names that describe the development stages of the embryo; namely hanging to the wall of the uterus (alaq), succeeded by the chewed lump of flesh (mudga). Thus the Quran uses terminology based on the positions the fetus assumes. There was no source before the Quran which asserted that the muscles were made after the formation of bones.

To assert a scientific fact, a scientific background is a must. It is on such a foundation that other data can rest, which, in turn, calls for advanced microscopes and micro cameras. At the descent of the Quran, there was no such scientific background or such instruments. Nobody of sound mind can come forward and say that the information in the Quran was a result of fortunate coincidences.

4- We created the human being in the best design
5- Then turned him into the lowliest of the lowly.
95-The Fig, 4-5 [95 SURE AT-TEEN, V4-V5]
35- Were they created of nothing or were they themselves the creators?
52-The Mount, 35 [52 SURE AT-TOOR, V35]

 

4.HANGING ON THE WALL OF UTERUS

13- Then We placed him as a drop in a firmly established lodging
14- Then We developed the drop into a hanging...
23-The Believers, 13-14 [23 SURE AL-MOMINOON, V13-V14]

"Alaq" is the Arabic word referring to something that is hanging on a place. Embryology did not exist as a science at the time of the Prophet. Neither was there special terminology yet. The Quran described the stages using the words current at the time. According to this description, the zygote then hangs on the wall of the uterus. The Quran brings clarification to something unknown at the time. To render the word "alaq" with the signification ‘embryo' may not exactly reflect its original meaning, and would moreover fail to convey the spirit of it. To translate it as "a clot of blood" deviates from the literal meaning of the word. This rendering has often been adopted, giving it the attribute of a secondary meaning of the word. The reason was the failure of exegetists to conceive the true meaning of the word. 

In 1641, Harvey's statement, according to which the origin of every living thing was an egg, and saying that the embryo underwent transformations, passing through stages of development, was one of the major contributions to the advancement of science. In the 17th century, when man already had the microscope at his disposal, the respective roles of the egg and of the sperm were topics of discussion. Bonnet (1720-1793) speculated that female eggs consisted of a countless number of smaller eggs, one inside the other, and generalized on the "preformation theory," which maintains that a child arises from an adult in miniature contained within the egg, and he applied this theory to all animals. This hypothesis found many adherents in the 18th century. Men, some thousand years prior to the 18th century, had been acquainted with the Quran. What was said in it about the reproduction of the human organism was rendered in a clear expression that was to take man centuries to confirm. Keith Moore, anatomy professor in the Toronto University of Canada, says that the information contained in the Quran about embryology cannot be accounted for by the data available in the 7th century. He goes further and says that, even a century back, this was hardly known. Only today are we in a position to understand what the verses of the Quran meant, thanks to the development of modern embryology. 

In history, the only book that exactly describes the development of the human being within the womb is the Quran. Let us once again tackle the subject of hanging to the uterus wall. Only after the invention of the microscope was man able to bring this fact to light as a result of developments in the fields of physiology, anatomy and embryology.

PROOFS FROM THE STAGES OF THE EMBRYO

6- These are the signs of God which We rehearse to you in truth. Then in which word other than God and His signs do they believe?
45-Kneeling, 6 [45 SURE AJ-JASHIYA, 6V]

The sperm that encounters its other half in the fallopian tube continues its way from there toward the uterus. The embryo, in its journey, does not cling on to the fallopian tube. The embryo proceeds on, and when it reaches the uterus hangs onto a spot where the blood vessels are dense. The stage of "alaq" referred in the Quran has started. How is it that this powerless cell devoid of all intelligence eventually finds for itself a shelter in the uterus, the ideal place for it? How is it that the embryo that arrives at the uterus hangs on its wall and is able to receive all the nourishment necessary for its development, like a leech? (One of the meanings of the word "alaq" is "leech.") All these things are carefully planned by God's ingenious artistry. Those who are blind to this fact and refuse to see in this God's doing, interpreting it as pure coincidence or the embryo's genius, will be in a ridiculous situation. 

The process of the embryo hanging on the uterus wall is the result of a complicated system. To penetrate the acid layer of the uterine wall, the embryo secretes an enzyme (hyaluronidase) that catalyzes the uterine tissue and allows the penetration of the embryo, which settles in it like a plant. Henceforth, it will supply its need for food and oxygen from this very point. The hyaluronidase secreted by the embryo catalyzes the breakdown of the hyaluronic acid. Furthermore, the embryo releases some chemicals to protect itself from the mother's immune system, which would otherwise treat the embryo as a foreign invader to be destroyed. 
The embryo's discovery of the place where it is going to hang is a marvel. The embryonic cells have so many activities to perform that a scientist who studies them can easily come to the conclusion that they are entities of high intelligence. 

1. Read in the name of your Lord who created
2. He created man from a hanging. 96-The Hanging, 1-2 [96 SURE AL-ALAQ, V1-V2]

 

5. CHEWED LUMP OF FLESH

14- Then We developed the drop into a hanging, then developed the hanging into a chewed lump of flesh.
23-The Believers, 14 [023 SURE AL-MOMINOON, 14V]

The Quran continues displaying its miracles in its description of "alaq" succeeded by the "mudga" (chewed lump of flesh) stage. As a matter of fact, the embryo in the uterus has the appearance of a chewed lump of flesh, a tiny piece of flesh. Sura 22-The Pilgrimage, verse 5, speaks "of chewed lump of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed," which is a good description of the aspect of the fetus. The aspect presented to our sight is of an indented figure whose head, feet and internal organs have begun to develop (partly formed, partly unformed). 

Prof. Keith L. Moore says that he had a model made in plastic in the shape of an embryo and bit on it, leaving the marks of his teeth; this seemed to be an exact reproduction of an embryo, and explained the indentation referred to in the Quran.

ADVENTURE OF THE CHEWED LUMP OF FLESH

A single cell undergoes many stages in forming the various organs and tissues of the body. A chewed lump of flesh at one stage, it is transformed into organs, muscles, skeleton, brain, eyes and ears, until in time man finally emerges. To review all the stages of this development renders our awe still greater at the presence of God's artistry. There is a time when the lump turns into a heart, a heart that beats 100,000 times a day without our being aware of it and without any conscious contribution on our part. Blood that comes to the heart and leaves it does not get mixed together. Blood is distributed in the body in perfect proportions. The ventricles and atriums of the heart are wonders of creation. The organized movement of blood within the arteries and veins presents matchless complexity and would take pages to describe. The day comes when this "chewed lump of flesh" is transformed into a liver, the organ that assumes more than 400 functions. This tiny lump becomes muscles to help us in our numerous movements like eating, running, walking, sitting and laughing. The muscles function within the framework of an extremely complex net of coordination. 

Merely smiling requires the coordinated functioning of 17 muscles. Our brains, hands, feet, intestines, kidneys, respiratory systems and the blood circulating in our veins and arteries owe their origins to this tiny lump of flesh, once a drop of liquid. The story of our creation would take up a whole encyclopedia. The Quran invites us to study these phenomena and meditate upon them. The prayer and ritual enjoined to man in the Quran have been a topic of long discussion. The verses that refer to ratiocination and meditation, which, although superior in number to those of the rituals, have received less attention. 

6- O human beings! What has seduced you from your Lord, Most Beneficent?
7- The One who created you, designed you in due proportion, and disposed you aright.
8- In whatever design He chose, He constructed you.
82-The Shattering, 6-8 [82 SURE AL-INFITAAR, V6 - V8]

 

6. BONE FORMATION AND CLOTHING OF BONES WITH FLESH

14- ...then created the chewed lump of flesh (mudga) into bones, then covered the bones with flesh (lahm)...
23-The Believers, 14 [23 SURE AL-MOMINOON, V14]

259- Look further at the bones, how We construct them and then cover with flesh (lahm).
2-The Cow, 259 [013 SURE AR-RAAD, V 259]

The embryo is a boneless lump. Its cartilage tissue is transformed into bones in due time, as stated in the Quran, followed by their being clothed in muscular flesh. The Arabic word "lahm" means the muscular flesh. This process was unknown 1400 years ago. It was believed that the bones and muscles developed simultaneously. Advanced microscopes and micro cameras introduced into the uterus corroborated once again the truth expressed in the Quran.

PERFECT STRUCTURE OF THE SKELETON

The verse quoted from the sura The Cow draws our attention to the skeleton and invites us to examine it closely. While reading this verse, we will try to meditate upon the miraculous formations within our bodies. Our skeletons, marvels of engineering, are formed of 206 bones of varying sizes. They are towers made of bones connected with each other by joints and ligaments, enabling us to jump, run, bend, sit, etc. To turn the page of a book necessitates the concurrent action of our shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers, without our being aware of the fact that it is the skeleton that performs this act.

The skeletal system is made up of structures composed of bones or cartilage or a combination of the two, which provide a framework for the vertebrate body and serve as attachment for muscles. Every part of this system independently performs the duty with which it has been charged. Where the movement is deemed to involve danger, the joints are fixed, like in the skull and pelvis, while in the hips or shoulders they are mobile. Cervical vertebrae permit the head to revolve around its axis up to 180 degrees. Thus, one does not have to turn his body to look around. The lungs and heart are protected by ribs to ensure their proper and safe functioning without being exposed to any hazard. The skeletal system supports the body like the columns and beams of a building. However, it is to be wondered at that while in modern buildings the frame forms 60-70% of the building's weight, the human skeleton forms but 15% of the body weight. The structural frame is highly resistant. For instance the thighbone (the femur) in vertical position can carry a weight of one ton. Solidity and elasticity coexist.

The skeleton has a lubricating system, the details of which the present book can hardly touch. Every joint in our bodies is regularly lubricated with special oily substances. Verse 259 of the sura The Cow, "Look further at the bones," directs our attention to these data that form but a small portion of man's marvelous makeup.

2- Verily, We created the human from a drop of liquid mixture in order to try him. Thus We made him a hearer and a seer.
76-The Human, 2 [076 SURE AL-INSAAN, V 2]

How marvelous it is to think that a day will come when a mixture called semen will be able to hear, see, laugh, weep, think, understand; and artistic works may be created by him endowed with aesthetic feelings. What a great gift for a man!

While the Quran says that there will be a day when a drop of a mixture will be able to hear and see, maybe it implies the fact that seeing is to succeed hearing. In many verses we frequently come across "hearing and seeing." In all these verses hearing comes first and seeing second. By the 23rd week of pregnancy the development of the ear is completed while the retina is still undeveloped even in the 25th week. The fact that the verse mentions hearing first and the organ of vision afterward may be an allusion to this fact.

8- God knows what every female bears, and how much the womb falls short or exceeds. Everything He does is perfectly measured.
13-The Thunder, 8 [013 SURE AR-RAAD,V 8]

What a wonderfurl thing a cigarette?

Whoever had invented it had performed a miracle. A tiny companion of solitary moments which constantly keeps reminding one of someone else's presence. One never feels alone when a cigarette is there. A cigarette is life itself whose one end keeps burning slowly like one's own life, the other end remaining stuck in the jaws of death. Dying and living with each single breath. It brings one's scattered thoughts at a focal point. And by then one has divined some important secrets of life beyond which one need not know anything more. People say smoking causes cancer. It may be so. But those who do not smoke do they live as long as smoker? Every person has to attribute his death to one cause or the other. Why not attribute it to cigarette smoking?

IF YOU ARE BORN IN THIS WORLD DEATH IS INEVITABLE TO ANY HUMAN GEINGS . BUT WHY NOT HAVE A HEALTHY LIFE AND DIE RATHER THAN A DEATH OF A MAN / WOMEN DYEING DUE TO SICKNESS..IF YOU ARE FREE FROM ALL VICES YOU ARE LUCKY. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT NO ONE WILL ADMIT THAT A MAN SMOKING MEANS HEW IS GOOD. IT IS BEING BANNED FROM ALL PUBLIC PLACES AND REMEMBER THAT THE ILL EFFECT OF SMOKING IS REALLY TRAGIC IT IS O.K YOU WERE DUE TO THE GRACE OF GOD YOU ARE FREE FROM ALL SICKNESS.THANK GOD FOR THE SAME.
REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE STARTED SMOKING JUST FOR A FUN.AND DUE TO YOUR BAD FRIENDS.HOW MUCH TROUBLES HAVE YOU TAKEN TO LEARN THIS BAD HABIT SO MUCH ONLY TO HAVE TO TAKE IT TO STOP ALSO.
DO NOT TRY TO SUBSTANTIATE YOUR CREDIBILITY TO SAY SMOKING IS GOOD AND THE WORST OF IT IS DEATH. THAT IS NOT THE WAY YOU HAVE TO THINK.ALWAYS BE POSITIVE AND HAVE AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW OF LIFE AND HAPPENINGS.TRY TO DO MEDITATION YOU WILL CERTAINLY COME OUT OF THESE LONELINESS AS WELL AS ALL THE BAD HABITS.PLEASE UNDER STAND THE LIFE IS SOMETHING PRECIOUS AND YOUR LIFE IS VALUED FOR SOME ONE IN THIS WORLD AS VERY PRECIOUS HENCE PLEASE LEAVE THIS BAD HABIT.
