❞ كتاب The Quran and Human Embryology A Further Study ❝ ⏤ دلدار أحمد

n the last few decades, the embryologicalreferences
in the Glorious Qur’an have attracted the attention
of authors and scholars, including Maurice Bucaille1
and Keith L. Moore2, who have attempted to interpret
the related verses according to modern embryologic
findings. This paper is a continuation of such studies

and attempts to highlight and explain the verses hav-
ing an allusion to human embryologic development.

An emphasis also has been given to the actual intent
of the Qur’an behind such references, that is, to draw
the readers’ attention to the creative power of God
and His blessings on them so that they may become
thankful.
The Signs of God

The prenatal development of humans is a fasci-
nating and awesome event. It begins with a single fer-
tilized egg and culminates some 38 weeks later with a

complex organization composed of billions of cells.

According to the Glorious Qur’an, there are signs,
messages or manifestations (āyāt) of God , the

Creator, not only in the physical universe (the macro-
cosm) but also in the human beings (the microcosm):

Among His Signs is this, that He created you
from dust; and then, — behold, ye are men
scattered (far and wide)! And among His
Signs is this, that He created for you mates
from among yourselves, that ye may dwell
in tranquillity with them, and He has put

love and mercy between your (hearts): ver-
ily in that are Signs for those who reflect.

And among His Signs is the creation of the
heavens and the earth, and the variations in
your languages and your colors: verily in
that are Signs for those who know.


And on the earth there are signs (of God,
visible) to all who are endowed with inner
certainty, and also within your own selves:
can you not, then, see?5
