A) The Quran on Human Embryonic Development:
In the Holy Quran, God speaks about the stages of man’s embryonic development:
 The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Aqwas-ys
We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a
place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance)...  The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Aqwas-ym
1 (Quran, 23:12-14)

Literally, the Arabic word alaqah has three meanings: (1) leech, (2) suspended thing, and (3) blood clot.
In comparing a leech to an embryo in the alaqah stage, we find similarity between the two2 as we can see in figure 1. Also,
the embryo at this stage obtains nourishment from the blood of the
mother, similar to the leech, which feeds on the blood of others.3




 The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Ch1-1-a-img1
Figure 1: Drawings illustrating the similarities in appearance between a leech and a human embryo at the alaqah stage. (Leech drawing from Human Development as Described in the Quran and Sunnah, Moore and others, p. 37, modified from Integrated Principles of Zoology, Hickman and others. Embryo drawing from The Developing Human, Moore and Persaud, 5th ed., p. 73.)
The second meaning of the word alaqah is “suspended thing.” This is what we can see in figures 2 and 3, the suspension of the embryo, during the alaqah stage, in the womb of the mother.


Figure 2: We can see in this diagram the suspension of an embryo during the alaqah stage in the womb (uterus) of the mother. (The Developing Human, Moore and Persaud, 5th ed., p. 66.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.)
 The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Ch1-1-a-img2


Figure 3: In this photomicrograph, we can see the suspension of an embryo (marked B) during the alaqah stage (about 15 days old) in the womb of the mother. The actual size of the embryo is about 0.6 mm. (The Developing Human, Moore, 3rd ed., p. 66, from Histology, Leeson and Leeson.)
 The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Ch1-1-a-img3
The third meaning of the word alaqah is “blood clot.” We find that the external appearance of the embryo and its sacs during the alaqah
stage is similar to that of a blood clot. This is due to the presence
of relatively large amounts of blood present in the embryo during this
stage4 (see figure 4). Also during this stage, the blood in the embryo does not circulate until the end of the third week.5 Thus, the embryo at this stage is like a clot of blood.



Figure 4: Diagram of the primitive cardiovascular system in an embryo during the alaqah
stage. The external appearance of the embryo and its sacs is
similar to that of a blood clot, due to the presence of relatively
large amounts of blood present in the embryo. (The Developing Human, Moore, 5th ed., p. 65.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.)
 The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Ch1-1-a-img4
So the three meanings of the word alaqah correspond accurately to the descriptions of the embryo at the alaqah stage.
The next stage mentioned in the verse is the mudghah stage. The Arabic word mudghah
means “chewed substance.” If one were to take a piece of gum and chew
it in his or her mouth and then compare it with an embryo at the mudghah stage, we would conclude that the embryo at the mudghah
stage acquires the appearance of a chewed substance. This is because
of the somites at the back of the embryo that “somewhat resemble
teethmarks in a chewed substance.”6 (see figures 5 and 6).



Figure 5: Photograph of an embryo at the mudghah
stage (28 days old). The embryo at this stage acquires the
appearance of a chewed substance, because the somites at the back
of the embryo somewhat resemble teeth marks in a chewed substance.
The actual size of the embryo is 4 mm. (The Developing Human, Moore and Persaud, 5th ed., p. 82, from Professor Hideo Nishimura, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.)
 The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Ch1-1-a-img5


Figure 6: 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 Quran on Human Embryonic Development Ch1-1-a-img6
How could Muhammad  The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Salla
have possibly known all this 1400 years ago, when scientists have only
recently discovered this using advanced equipment and powerful
microscopes which did not exist at that time? Hamm and Leeuwenhoek were
the first scientists to observe human sperm cells (spermatozoa) using
an improved microscope in 1677 (more than 1000 years after Muhammad  The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Salla).
They mistakenly thought that the sperm cell contained a miniature
preformed human being that grew when it was deposited in the female
genital tract.7

Professor Emeritus Keith L. Moore8 is one of the world’s most prominent scientists in the fields of anatomy and embryology and is the author of the book entitled The Developing Human,
which has been translated into eight languages. This book is a
scientific reference work and was chosen by a special committee in the
United States as the best book authored by one person. Dr. Keith Moore
is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the University of
Toronto, Toronto, Canada. There, he was Associate Dean of Basic
Sciences at the Faculty of Medicine and for 8 years was the Chairman of
the Department of Anatomy. In 1984, he received the most distinguished
award presented in the field of anatomy in Canada, the J.C.B. Grant
Award from the Canadian Association of Anatomists. He has directed many
international associations, such as the Canadian and American
Association of Anatomists and the Council of the Union of Biological
Sciences.

In 1981, during the Seventh Medical
Conference in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Professor Moore said: “It has been a
great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Quran about
human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have
come to Muhammad from God, because almost all of this knowledge was not
discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad
must have been a messenger of God.”9 (To view the RealPlayer video of this comment click here  The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Video).

Consequently,
Professor Moore was asked the following question: “Does this mean that
you believe that the Quran is the word of God?” He replied: “I find no
difficulty in accepting this.”10

During
one conference, Professor Moore stated: “....Because the staging of
human embryos is complex, owing to the continuous process of change
during development, it is proposed that a new system of classification
could be developed using the terms mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah (what Muhammad  The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Salla
said, did, or approved of). The proposed system is simple,
comprehensive, and conforms with present embryological knowledge. The
intensive studies of the Quran and hadeeth (reliably transmitted reports by the Prophet Muhammad’s  The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Salla
companions
of what he said, did, or approved of) in the last four years have
revealed a system for classifying human embryos that is amazing since it
was recorded in the seventh century A.D. Although Aristotle, the
founder of the science of embryology, realized that chick embryos
developed in stages from his studies of hen’s eggs in the fourth century
B.C., he did not give any details about these stages. As far as it is
known from the history of embryology, little was known about the staging
and classification of human embryos until the twentieth century. For
this reason, the descriptions of the human embryo in the Quran cannot be
based on scientific knowledge in the seventh century. The only
reasonable conclusion is: these descriptions were revealed to Muhammad
from God. He could not have known such details because he was an
illiterate man with absolutely no scientific training.”11 (View the RealPlayer video of this comment  The Quran on Human Embryonic Development Video).
