Qur'anic Description Of The Internal And External Appearancee Of The Fetus.
Dr. Abdullah l-Rehaili the compiler the book{This Is The Truth} told us in his compilation that he has a meeting with Dr.marshal Johnson Professor Emeritus of anatomy and Developmental biology at Jefferson university Philadephia,Pennsylvania U.S.A. The subject of the committee is [The relationship between what the Qu'ran and Sunnah have contained 1400 years ago and what modern scientists tell us].He said:when we met together with the committee ,Professor Johnson asked us What our committee was doing.We told him that the subject of our study was the relationship between what the Qu'ran and Sunnah have contained 1400 years ago and what modern scientists tell us.He asked:like what?We said:For example,modern science tells us that the human prenatal development goes through several stages whereas the Qu'ran mentioned these stages to us 1400 years ago.Professor Johnson was appalled when he heard this. He expressed his feeling by simply saying:No…no! what kind of talk is that?We undersatood the effect of such statements upon him.We knew he was one of the foremost scientists in the united states. He knew of course that after the discovery of the microscope in the 16th century,physicians throughout the 17th century believed that a human being's origin began entirely in the male's semen,specifically in male's sperm. This picture was the evidence used by scientists in the 17th century,and partly in the 18th century,to support their belief that the human being was created wholly from the male's sperm,but after the discovery of the ovum was larger than the sperm of the male.In this way they ignored the role of the man in the 18th century,just as they had ignored that of the woman in the 17th century.It was not until the middle of the 19th century when the scientists began to discover that the human embryonic development took place in several successive stages.It was for this reason when professor Johnson was told that this information has been in the Qu'ran for 1400 years that he stood up and shouted:No…NO!So we in turn handed him a copy of Qu'ran and showed him the following vers which he read in the English translation:
What is matter with you ,that you are not conscious of Allah's Majesty.Seeing that it is He who has created you in divers stages?(Qu'ran 71:13-14).Then we showed him this verse:
He creats you in the wombs of your mother,in stages,one after another,in three veils of darkness .(Qur'ran:39:6).
At this Professor Johnson sat down and said:but this could be explained in three possibilities the first is that it can be mere coincidence .So, we collected more than 25 texts and presented them to him.Then we asked him:Is it possible that these texts are coincidence?Moreover ,the Glorious Qur'an has given each of these stages a name:the first being the NUTFAH or the drop of water.The second, being the ALAQAH a leech like substance.The third, being the MUDGHAH or a chewed-like lump.The fourth, being bones and then the clothing of the bones with flesh.Can all this be coincidence?He flatly said:NO.
Then we asked him:Then what remains ?He said:The other possibility is that Muhammad had hold[of a]powerful microscope. We said:you know that this sort of minute and specialized knowledge which has been contained in the Qur'an can be only be obtained by very powerful microscopes. And anyone possessing such powerful microscopes must also possess very high technology which must be reflected in his daily living,his house,his food,his control and management of war and quest for peace…etc.And you know that technological advancement is a process of cumulative inheritance passed in and proved upon from one generation to the other.Professor Johnson laughed and said:in fact I saw the first microscope invented in the world.It does not magnify more than 10 times and does not even show a clear picture.The prophet Muhammad (salalahu alaihi wasalam)never had possession of scientific equipment or microscopes.The only thing that remains for us to say that he was a messenger from Allah.After this,professor Johnson began to take interest in the study of scientific signs in the Qur'an concentrating in some of his research on the stages of embryonic development while Dr.Moor and others dicussed the external fetal appearance. Professor Jonson concentrated his presentation on the Qur'an's detailed descriptions of the internal as will as external of the fetus.Professor Johnson :in summary,the Qur'an describes not only the development of external form,but emphasizes
Also the internal stages,the stages inside the embryo,of its creation and development,emphasizing major events recognized by contemporary sciences.If we were to make an incision in the embryo and dissect the internal organs,we would find that most of them are already formed.you can also see from any picture of embryo that some of the cells have already formed while others are not yet completely formed.We can say there is no better description of the stage of embryologensis than the Qur'anic description which says: …Mudghah (chewed-like structure)partly formed and partly unformed…(Qur'an 22.5).
Here is professor Marshal Johnson giving the conclusion of his research: As a scientist I can only deal with things which I can specifically see.I can understand the words that are translated to me from the Qur'an.As I gave the example before, if I were to transpose myself into that era.Knowing what I knew today in describing things.I could not describe the things which were described.I see no evidence for the refutation of the concept that this individual Muhammad had to be developing this information from some place.So, I see nothing here in conflict with the concept that divine intervention was involved in what he was able to write.
