| Summary: | The creation of man, especially the stages of his development in the fetus, is one of the complex issues and wonders of creation in the world. Before Islam and even years later, various views were expressed about how the fetus was originated. Based on the science of embryology, it has been proven that both man and woman are involved in the formation of the fetus. It is claimed that the phrase "a leaping drop" in the verse "He is created from a leaping drop" means a jumping water and refers to the sperm of man. Therefor the female sperm has not mentioned in fetus formation. In response, it can be said: Contrary to popular belief, one of the meanings of the phrase is "fast and moving fluid" and the word "dāfiq" (i.e. leaping) as a subject refers to the intrinsic motion of human creation material and it is considered as one of the secrets of the Qur'an. In other verses of the Holy Qur'an, the creation of man from the "a mingled sperm" is also specified, which refers to the mixing of the sperm of man and woman. |
