Did you know that the Quran described the process of human fertilization ,specifically the fact that a human being originates from a very small portion of fluid rather than the entire emission ,with a scientific precision that was not confirmed until the invention of the microscope?
Allah says in Surah Al-Qiyamah verses 37 and 38 ,
was he not a drop of sperm emitted? Then he was a clinging clot and Allah created and proportioned him.
And in Surah Al-Insan verse 2 — indeed We created man from a drop — amshaj — of mingled fluid to try him and We made him hearing and seeing.
The Arabic word used in Surah Al-Insan is Amshaj. This word specifically means a mixture or a mingling of different fluids ,communicating that the origin of the human being is not from one fluid alone but from the mingling of two. The male and the female contribution.
But here is the detail that is even more specific. In Surah Al-Sajdah verse 8 Allah says —
then He made his lineage from an extract of a liquid disdained.
The Arabic word translated as extract is Sulalah. This word specifically means a refined portion drawn from a larger substance. Not the entirety of the substance. A refined extract of it.
Modern embryology confirms that of the hundreds of millions of sperm cells in a single emission only one ,or in the case of multiple births a very small number — actually fertilizes the egg. The human being originates from a sulalah , a refined extract ,drawn from a much larger fluid.
The Quran used this specific word — sulalah — in the 7th century. The precise cellular biology required to understand what this word was describing was not available to human scientists until the 19th century development of microscopy.
The extract of a liquid disdained. The refined portion drawn from the whole. Scientifically accurate fourteen centuries before the science could confirm it.
