Answering False claims about Mudghah

Some objectors and deniers to the  scientific miracles of Qura’n inMudghah stage vs Carnegie stage  10describing stages of embryonic development , claim that the term mudghah used by Qura’n  to describe the embryo is vague . Moreover ,  the description of mudghah as a little piece of meat of a size that can be chewed , was not known before and it was lately  introduced  due to the presence of somites on the surface of developing embryo that simulate the teeth imprints on chewed gums.  They claim that this is not only an imaginary interpretation but also incorrect , because for an embryo to be in the size of a chewed piece of meat (  size reaching about 20-30 milliliters ) one should wait till the embryo is 8 weeks old to fulfill the meaning of mudghah , whereas  at the time alleged to be the duration of mudghah (26-27 days) the embryo’s size is not more than 4 millimeters.. How  to answer  these claims and refute them??

Answering false claims about Alaqah

The alaqah stage mentioned in Qura’n and its interpretationsAn alaqah is the inner cell mass of blastocyst , is considered the most controversial stage of the developing embryo that  provoke objections among deniers of the scientific miracles of Qura’n and Sunnah in describing the stages of embryonic development. Some of these objectors , depending upon dictionaries of Arabic language , old commentators and ancient Arab poets , that alaqah means the clotted blood and according to this view , the embryo during alaqah stage is in the form of a clotted blood and this is a scientific error because there is no developmental stage of the embryo in which it is an clotted blood. Another group of objectors , depending upon the explanation given by professor Keith Moore that the embryo at 24 days is like a leech of water pools , although in the lateral view of the developing umbilicus (which is a part of the embryo) it is as large as the part similar to the leech . A third group of objectors describe that the explanation of alaqah to indicate that the embryo is suspended to the uterus was accurately described by Aristotle on the 4th century B.C. and he mentioned the suspension of the embryo in the uterus !! Thus, there are three claims  against alaqah described in Quran .. What is the answers to all these false claims???

Pregnancy in Qura’n

It is well-known that pregnancy starts with fertilization,  that almost occurs in the same day of ovulation as the life span of the ovum does not20-weeks of gestation exceed 24 hours after its ovulation. The fertilized ovum must be implanted inside the wall of the uterus to grow into an embryo . Qura’n indicates that the females are our Harth (i.e. the place of tilth )  in the following the following  Ayah : “Your wives are a tilth for you , so go to  your tilth how you will”        ( Surah Al-Baqarah 2: Ayah 223) .The term ” al-Harth” is used by Qura’n to give a polite expression for the sexual intercourse . It describes  that  females  receive the  elements required for developing  a new human from the males during intercourse , and  this process is analogous to  the cultivation of the soil and the implantation of   the seed therein .

The interpretation of the verse “AsSolb Watta ra’ep”

The  interpretation of the verse “AsSolb Watta ra’ep” in Qura’n The genital ridge is site of gonads formation and its relation to  “Al- ma’ ad-dafiq” , was puzzling ancient and current  Muslim scholars and commentators as no one was able to provide a clear and convincing explanation . Although ancient scholars have described that AI-maa’ addafiq (water gushing forth or drop emitted or a gushing fluid ) arises from an area that lies between the back bone of the man (his back) and the place of a necklace on the chest of the woman ( her chest bones or her ribs) , the most accepted interpretation by most commentators is that this gushing fluid originates from an area that lies between the back bone and chest bones or ribs in both of them . What is truth in this issue??

Answering False claims about izam’ bone’ formation

Those who deny the presence of scientific miracles in Izam of embryo or fetal skeletonQura’n and Sunnah , as regard the developmental stages of embryo , always give many unsound objections and false claims that Qura’n comprises fatal scientific errors . As regard the izam ‘bone’ of embryo , they allege that the verse “Then We made out of that mudghah, izam (bones)…”( Surah Al-Mumenoon ; 23 : Ayah 14 ) ,means that all mudghah changes into bones and there is no stage in embryological development in which the embryo is formed only of bones and this is a scientific error of Qura’n . Moreover, those deniers claim that bone formation do not precede muscle (Lahm in Quran ) formation as mentioned in Qura’n because both bones and muscles develop simultaneously (in the same time)!!   Where is the truth ?? What is the answer to these claims??
