Allah says in the Qur'aan about the stages of the
creation of man: Man we did create from a
quintessence (of clay); Then we placed as (a
drop of) sperm (nutfah) in a place firmly fixed;
Then we made the sperm into a clot of
congealed blood (alaqah); Then of that clot we
made a (fetus) lump (mudghah); then we made
out of that lump bones and clothed the bones
with flesh; then we developed out of it another
creature. (Qur'aan 23:12-14).
The Arabic word alaqah has three meanings. The first
meaning is leech. The second is a suspended thing. The
third meaning is a blood clot.
In comparing the fresh-water leech to the embryo at the Fig. 3.2
alaqah stage, Professor Moore found a great similarity Thus modern scientists all over the world today can come
between the two. He concluded that the embryo during the to know that the Qur'aan has been revealed from Allahs

presented these pictures to scientists at several
conferences. It also follows that modern-day scientists should have no

(peace be upon him), is a Messenger of Allah.
