THE HOLY QUR’AN
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
BASED ON THE WORKS OF HARUN YAHYA WWW.HARUNYAHAY.COM INCLUDING: WWW.ISLAM-GUIDE.COM and othersPREPARED BY [email protected] Dr F.Dejahang, BSc CEng, BSc (Hons) Construction Mgmt, MSc, MCIOB, .MCMI, PhD
The HolyQur'an is theWord of Allah
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUSRecite: In the name of your Lord Who created man from alaq. Recite: And your Lord is the Most Generous. (Qur'an, 96:1-3)
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
•THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS-In the first phase of its development, the baby in the mother's womb is in the form of a zygote, which clings to the uterus in order to take nourishment from the mother's blood.
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
Zygote
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
Zygote -looks like a piece of flesh
This formation, which has been discovered by modern
embryology, was miraculously stated in the Holy Qur'an 14 centuries ago with the word
"alaq," which means "a thing that clings to some place" and is
used to describe leeches that cling to a body to suck blood.
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO
THE UTERUS
•If we continue to examine the facts announced to us in the Holy Qur'an, about the formation of human beings, we again encounter some very important scientific truth.
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
•When the sperm of the male unites with the ovum of the female, the essence of the baby to be born is formed.
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
This can only be seen with the aid of a
microscope.
This single cell, known as a "zygote" in biology, will instantly begin reproducing by dividing, and
eventually become a "piece of flesh," called an embryo.
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUSThe embryo does not spend its
developmental period in a void.It clings to the uterus, with
something like roots that is firmly fixed to the earth by its tendrils.
Through this bond, the embryo can obtain the substances essential to its development from the mother's body.85
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
Here, an important miracle of the Holy Qur'an is revealed.
While referring to the embryo developing in the mother's womb, Mighty Allah uses the word "alaq“ (علق) in the Holy Qur'an:
96:1
خلق الذي ربك باسم اقرأخلق ذي ال ك رب باسم اقرأ
. الخالئق} { } { خلق الذي ربك باسم مبتدئا القراءة أوجد اقرأSahih International
Recite in the name of your Lord who created .Shakir
Read in the name of your Lord Who created. ) آفرید ) را جهان که پروردگارت نام به ،بخوان
الرحيم الرحمن الله بسم
96:2علق من اإلنسان خلق

Sahih InternationalRecite, and your Lord is the most Generous -
ShakirRead and your Lord is Most Honorable
) است ) بزرگوارتر همه از پروردگارت که ،بخوان
Tafsir تفسير Recite, bring recitation into existence, beginning
with: In the Name of your Lord Who created, all creatures;
created man (al-insān: the generic) from a clinging substance ). (‘alaq is the plural of ‘alaqa, which is a clinging substance ).
Recite: (reiterating the first one) and your Lord is the Most Generous, having no counterpart in terms of His generosity (wa-rabbuka’l-akram is a circumstantial qualifier referring to the subject [of the verb] iqra’, ‘recite’),
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
The word is literally used to describe leeches that cling to a body to suck
blood.
The meaning of the word علق "alaq" in Arabic is "a thing that
clings to some place."
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
The use of such a specific word for the embryo developing in the mother's womb, proves once again that the Holy Qur'an is the Word of Allah, the Lord of all the Worlds.
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
Another important item of information provided in the verses of the Holy Qur'an is the developmental stages of a human being in the mother's womb.
It is stated in these verses that in the mother's womb, the bones develop first, and then the muscles form which wrap around them.
Surat Al-Mu'minūn (The Believers) - المؤمنون سورة23:12
Surat Al-Mu'minūn (The
Believers) - المؤمنون 23:12 سورة

extract of clay.Shakir
And certainly We created man of an extract of clay,

firm lodging.Shakir
Then We made him a small seed in a firm resting-place,
Farsi ] قرار ]= رحم مطمئن قرارگاه در نطفه ای را او سپس

Surat Al-Mu'minūn (The Believers) - المؤمنون سورة
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
Literally, the Arabic word alaqah has three meanings:
(1) leech(2) suspended thing(3) blood clot.
Similarities in appearance between a leech and a human embryo at the alaqah stage
The suspension of an embryo during the alaqah stage in the womb (uterus) of the mother-suspended thing
blood clot
THE ‘ALAQ’ CLINING TO THE UTERUS
When comparing the appearance of an embryo at the mudghah stage with a piece
of gum that has been chewed, we find similarity between the two.
A) Drawing of an embryo at the mudghah stage.
We can see here the somites at the back of the embryo that look like teeth marks. (The Developing Human, Moore and Persaud, 5th
ed., p. 79.)
B) Photograph of a piece of gum that has been chewed.

The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones[We] then formed the drop into a clot and formed the
clot into a lump and formed the lump into bones and clothed the
bones in flesh; and then brought him into being as another creature. Blessed
be Allah, the Best of Creators! (Qur'an, 23:14)
23:14 Surat Al-Mu'minūn (The Believers) - المؤمنون سورة
Sahih InternationalThen We made the sperm-drop into a clinging
clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones,
and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah , the best of creators.
ShakirThen We made the seed a clot, then We made the clot a lump of flesh, then We made (in) the
lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, then We caused it to grow
into another creation, so blessed be Allah, the best of the creators.

The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
•Embryology is the branch of science that studies the development of the embryo in the mother's womb.
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
Until very recently, embryologists
assumed that the bones and muscles
in an embryo developed at the
same time.
The Wrapping of Muscles over the BonesYet, advanced microscopic
research conducted by virtue of new technological
developments has revealed that the
revelation of the Qur'an is word for word correct.
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
These observations at the microscopic level
showed that the development inside the mother's womb takes place in just the way it
is described in Holy Qur’an.
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
First, the cartilage tissue of the embryo ossifies.
Then, muscular cells that are selected from amongst
the tissue around the bones come together and wrap around the bones.
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
This event is described in a
scientific publication titled
Developing Human in the following
words:
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
… [T]he shape of the skeleton determines the
general appearance of the embryo in the bones stage
during the 7th week; muscles do not develop at
the same time but their development follows soon
after.
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
The muscles take their positions around the bones throughout the body and
therefore clothe the bones.Thus, the muscles take their
well known forms and structures… The stage of
clothing with muscle occurs during the 8th week…86
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
The bones of the baby
completing its development in
the mother's womb are
clothed with flesh during one particular stage
exactly as stated in the
Qur’an.
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
In short, developmental stages of man, as described in the Holy Qur'an, are in perfect harmony with the findings of modern
embryology.
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
Many stages of a baby's development in the
mother's womb are related in the Qur'an. As described in Surat al-
Muminun 14, the cartilage of the embryo in the
mother's womb ossifies first.
The Wrapping of Muscles over the Bones
Then these bones are coveredwith muscle cells. Allah describes this development
with the verse: "… [We then]formed the lump into bones and
clothed the bones in flesh."
Three Dark Stages of
the Baby in the WombAs Allah
revealed to us 1400
years ago in Holy Qur’ an
In the Holy Qur'an, it is related that
man is created
through a three-stage
process in the mother's womb.
Three Dark Stages
(Qur'an, 39:6)... He creates you stage
by stage in your mothers' wombs in threefold darkness.
That is Allah, your Lord. Sovereignty is His. There is no god but
Him. So what has made you deviate? (Qur'an,
39:6)
Surat Az-Zumar (The Troops) - الزمر سورة39:6
Surat Az-Zumar (The Troops) - الزمر سورة39:6
Sahih InternationalHe created you from one soul. Then He made from
it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in
the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allah , your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no
deity except Him, so how are you averted?Shakir
He has created you from a single being, then made its mate of the same (kind), and He has made for you eight of the cattle in pairs. He
creates you in the wombs of your mothers-- a creation after a creation-- in triple darkness; that is Allah your Lord, His is the kingdom; there is no god but He; whence are you then turned away?
Surat Az-Zumar (The Troops) الزمر - سورة39:6
از را همسرش و آفرید، نفس یک از را شما او ) هشت) شما برای و کرد؛ خلق او گل باقیماندهشکم در را شما او کرد؛ ایجاد چهارپایان از زوج
در دیگر، آفرینش از بعد آفرینشی مادرانتان ! است این می بخشد گانه، سه تاریکیهای میان
عالم ) حکومت که شما پروردگار خداوند،نیست؛( او جز معبودی هیچ اوست؛ آن از هستی
! می شوید؟ منحرف حق راه از چگونه پس
Surat Az-Zumar (The Troops) - الزمر سورةTafsir تفسير He created you from a single soul, namely, Adam,
then made from it its mate, Eve; and He sent down for you of the cattle, [of] camels, cows, small cattle, sheep and goats, eight kinds, of each kind a male and a female — as He makes clear in sūrat al-An‘ām [Q. 6:143f.]. He creates you in your mothers’ wombs, creation after creation, that is to say, as a sperm-drop, then a blood clot, then a foetus, in a threefold darkness, that is, the darkness of the belly, that of the womb and that of the placenta. That is God, your Lord. To Him belongs [all] sovereignty. There is no god except Him. Why then are you being turned away?, from worshipping Him to worshipping [things] other than Him?
The expression "fee thulumatin thalathin,"
translated into English as "a threefold darkness,"
indicates three dark regions involved during the development of the
embryo. These are:
Development of the embryo
The darkness
of the abdomen
The darkness
of the womb
The darkness
of the placenta
Development of the embryo
As we have seen, modern biology has revealed that the embryological development of
the baby takes place in the manner revealed in the verse,
in three dark regions.Moreover, advances in the
science of embryology show that these regions consist of
three layers each.
Development of the embryo
The lateral abdominal wall comprises three layers: the external oblique, the internal
oblique, and transverses
abdominis muscles.87
Development of the embryo
Similarly, the wall of the womb also
consists of three layers: the
epimetrium, the myometrium and the
endometrium.88
Development of the embryo
Similarly again, the placenta surrounding the embryo also
consists of three layers: the amnion (the internal membrane around the fetus), the chorion (the
middle amnion layer) and the decidua (outer amnion
layer.)89
Development of the embryo
It is also pointed out in this verse
that a human being is created in
the mother's womb in three distinct stages.
Development of the embryo
Modern biology has also revealed that the baby's embryological development takes
place in three distinct regions in the
mother's womb.
Development of the embryo
Today, in all the embryology textbooks studied in departments of medicine, this subject is taken
as an element of basic knowledge.For instance, in Basic Human Embryology, a fundamental reference text in the field of
embryology, this fact is stated as follows:
Development of the embryo
These phases refer to the different developmental stages of a baby. In brief, the main characteristics of these developmental
stages are as follows:
The life in the uterus has three stages: pre-embryonic; first two and a half weeks,
embryonic; until the end of the eight week, and fetal; from the eight week to labor.90
Development of the embryo
Pre-embryonic StageIn this first phase, the zygote grows by division, and when it
becomes a cell cluster, it buries itself in the wall of the
uterus.While they continue growing, the cells organize themselves
in three layers.
Development of the embryo
Embryonic StageThe second phase lasts for
five and a half weeks, during which the baby is referred to as an "embryo." During this stage, the basic organs and systems of the body start to appear from the cell layers.
Development of the embryo
Foetal StageFrom this stage onward, the embryo is
called a "foetus." This phase begins at the eighth week of gestation, and lasts until the moment of
birth.The distinctive characteristic of this stage is that the foetus looks much like a human
being, with its face, hands and feet.Although it is only 3 cm long initially, all of
its organs have become apparent.This phase lasts for about 30 weeks, and development continues until the week of
delivery.
Development of the embryo
Information on the development in the mother's womb became available only
after observations with modern devices.
Yet, just like many other scientific facts, in a
miraculous way, Allah draws our attention to these items of information in the verses
of the Qur'an.
