Qura’n , during description of creation of Adam’s offspring , reported that creation is from Al-maa’ al-mahin , Allah -the Almighty – said : “Then He (God) made his (man’s) progeny from a quintessence (sulalah) of Al-maa’al-mahin (a very little weak fluid )” (Surah As-Sajdah, 32: Ayah 8 ) , and also He said : “ Did We not create you from Maa’mahin (a very little weak fluid)” (Surah Al-Mursalat , 77 : Ayah 20).

Qura’n had accurately described that the passage of the embryo , during early stages of its creation , from a creation stage to the subsequent one, occurs within three dark zones .
Allah , the Almighty , Said :
“ He (God) makes you in the abdomen of your mothers ; a creation after a creation , inside three dark zones…” (Surah Az-Zumar, 39, Ayah6).
The commonest interpretation of these dark zones according to standard commentaries (tafsirs) was ; the darkness of the abdomen , the darkness of the uterus and the darkness of the placenta . In the early eighties , an anatomical explanation to these dark zones was ; the abdominal wall, the uterus, and the amniochorionic membrane .
However, the aforementioned interpretation of these three dark zones is criticized in two aspects ; first : the placenta is not a sac , being only facing one side of the embryo , so it could not be one of the three zones surrounding the embryo , second : considering the abdomen or abdominal wall one of these zones is inaccurate , as Allah , the Al mighty , said in the verse : He creates us in the abdomen of our mothers inside three dark zones , so the abdomen could not be one of them and this view is supported by Qura’n itself ; Allah , the Al mighty , Said :
“He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He likes ; there is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise” …” (Surah Al-E-mran, 3, Ayah6)

The male reproductive system consists of the following parts:
1.Primary sex organs :
These are the two testes , that lie outside the abdominal cavity, suspended inside a sac of skin , called the scrotum. The testes contain loops of highly-convoluted tubules , called the seminiferous tubules, about 250 meters of these tubules are packed inside each testis . The walls of the tubules contain primitive germ cells , called the spermatogonia, form which the sperms are produced by meiosis , then released into the lumen of the tubule . Both ends of each loop of the seminiferous tubule form short straight tubules that join together to form a network of tubules , called the rete testis, that connect to the epididymis by 15-20 tubules , called vasa efferentia , and drain into a network of ducts in the head of the epididymis . The testes move close to or far from the body to provide an optimal temperature for spermatogenesis (36 C?). More »
The female reproductive system consists of the following parts :
1.Primary sex organs :
These are the two ovaries , that are located within the lower abdominal cavity or the pelvis . Each ovary has its own mesentery, that is called the mesovarium, on the back of the broad ligament of the uterus. It has direct relation with the fimbriae of the uterine tube . The ovary has an outer cortex and inner medulla . The cortex contains numerous masses of cells , called the primary or primordial ovarian follicles. Each primary follicle is composed of a developing egg , called the primary oocyte containing 46 chromosomes and is surrounded by an outer layer of flat follicular cells , which limit the cytoplasm of the primary oocyte as it lacks a cell membrane.At birth each female carries a lifetime supply of developing oocytes, each of which is in Prophase of the first meiotic division and and do not finish it untill puberty is reached . This arrest is due to an oocyte maturation inhibitor secreted by follicular cells . The ovarian follicles remain dormant until puberty is reached .
News Agencies : Most Arab countries had declared that Friday 10th of September 2010 is the first day of
Eid Al-Fitr and that tomorrow (Thursday ) is the supplementing day of the month of Ramadan.
As regard the hadith reported by Abdullah (Ibn Mas’ud ) - he may be blessed by Allah – : Allah’s Messenger ( peace and blessings be upon him ), the truthful and truly-inspired (trusted) , said : Each one one of you is collected (i.e. constituents of creation are collected together) in his mother’s abdomen (i.e. womb ) for 40 days , and in that it is an alaqah like that , then in that it is a mudghah like that. Then God sends an angle and order him with four words (i.e. instructions) . He is told to record his livelihood ( his sustenance ) , his age , his deeds , whether he will be miserable or happy , and then the spirit is breathed into him (i.e. the soul is acquired)…” (This is narrated in Sahih Muslim, book of destiny ” in Arabic Kitab al-Kadar” and also in Sahih Al-Bukhari , beginning of creation book “in Arabic Kitab Ba’doul Khalq “ ; the words of the hadith mentioned above is that shown by Muslim narration , which the the same as that shown in the narration of Al-Bukhari , except that the phrase “in that” was not mentioned ).

The menstrual cycle includes all the cyclic changes that occur in the endometrium of the
uterus every month under the influence of the ovarian hormones (estrogen and progesterone). They stimulate the development of the endometrium and prepare it for implantation of a zygote. If pregnancy does not occur, the drop in FSH and LH cause the corpus luteum to disintegrate. This causes a drop in esterogen and progesterone hormones that causes sloughing off of the inner lining of the uterus by a series of muscle contractions of the uterus. More »
