Human Reproduction, Pregnancy and Development of Human Embryo: A Research Analysis in the Light of Islam

Abstract

Man is the best of all the creatures created by Allah Al-Mighty and Allah looks after all the affairs directly or indirectly related to human beings. The holy Quran is the last of all the revelations revealed to the last Prophet and is enriched in all types of sciences. The miraculous nature of the Qur’ān is evident from its marvellous descriptions of the biological phenomena of human life, especially reproduction, pregnancy, and embryo development. It appeals to its readers with the consistency between the details of the biological processes it provides in the seventh century and the scientific knowledge that man has attained in this era of embryological research and technology. This research article seeks to interpret relevant Qur’ānic verses with a dimension of anatomical and physiological explanations. It tries to synchronize exegetical references with current information about reproduction and pregnancy and human embryos.
