Hello
The Quran on Human Embryonic Development:
In the Holy Quran, God speaks about the stages of man’s embryonic
development:
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)... 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 .
