(Say "Travel in the land and see how (Allah)
originated the creation, and then Allah will
bring forth the creation of the Hereafter (i.e.
resurrection after death). Verily, Allah is Able
to do all things.(
Sûrat Al-Ankabût -Verse 20
3
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the
Most Merciful All the praises and thanks be to
Allah, the Lord of the Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and
all that exists) and peace be upon our prophet
(Muhammad) and his family and companions
Dear my lovers! This research is not just for
reading or knowledge , but it is a kind of
worship to Allah , and a respond to the divine
order (So let man see from what he is created)
to realize the power of God by bringing us back
after death (Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him
back (to life)). Therefore, thinking in Gods
creation is a great worship and its not less
important than prayer , fasting and almsgiving .
That thinking refines our soul and makes us
modest in front of the grandeur of the creator
and also increase our belief in God be He blessed
and exalted .
4
So let man see from what he is created
During this journey of faith, we will look at the
stages of humans creation by using the taken
photos by scientists in the twenty one century
and to look attentively at these stages as God
told us about it in the Quran fourteen century
ago.
5
Dust is The first stage in creation
Scientists confirm that our body contains the
same elements as the existed in dust . Exactly as
Quran told us , God says (And among His Signs
is this, that He created you (Adam) from dust,
and then behold you are human beings scattered).

(Sûrat Ar-Rûm verse 20)
6
Water
God created everything from water. Scientists
found that percentage of water in the bodies of
the living organisms is more than 70, God
says (And We have made from water every living
thing ) Sûrat Al-Anbiyâ-Verse 30) (Allah has
created every moving (living) creature from water
) (Sûrat An-Nûr- verse45)
7
O Man know your origin..
Spermatozoon
Human should be modest , also should get rid of
his arrogance when he realize that his origin is
from the clay followed by unseen sperm . God
says (O man! What has made you careless about
your Lord, the Most Generous? Who created you,
fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due
proportion In whatever form He willed, He put
you together) Sûrat Al-Infitâr- verse 68).
8
After 9 months
100000000000000 One hundred trillion cell
A fertilized cell which is seen only by a
microscope
One of the most strange phenomena is the creation
of human !one cell grows to be 100 trillion cell
, How does this operation happen? who controls
this precise program, Is it nature or the creator
of nature?
9
The program of life who made it?
The most strange thing is that the mother cell
starts to split but it doesnt produce same
cells, but different cells ,some of it for skin,
bone , brain eye and heart , etcwho tells these
cells to do such job ? God says (He has
created everything, and has measured it exactly
according to its due measurements ) (Sûrat
Al-Furqân -verse2).
10
Stages of embryo creation in Quran
11
(And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an
extract of clay (water and Dust)
Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as
a Nutfah (mixed drops of the male and female
sexual discharge )and lodged it in a safe lodging
(womb of the woman) Then We made the Nutfah
into a clot (a piece of thick coagulated
blood), then We made the clot into a little lump
of flesh , then We made out of that little
lump of flesh bones , then We clothed the
bones with flesh , and then We brought it
forth as another creation . So Blessed is
Allah, the Best of creators).
God says in surat Al-Muminûn (verse 12-14)

So Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators
13
Clay
God had created human from water and dust ,
therefore we find that water is about 2/3 of our
body, so mixing water with dust produce clay ,
which is our origin, God says (And indeed We
created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay
(water and Dust) ) ( Surat Al-Muminûn - verse 12
)
14
Scientists discovered that the human body
consists of some elements which are the same
elements as in dust . One of the latest
discoveries is that some kinds of clay contain
antibiotics which are able to kill the most
obstinate kind of germs. Hence they are thinking
to use dust to sterilize hospitals!! So that God
gave human a big honor when He be blessed and
exalted created him from dust.
15
The Nutfah
Which is The produced sperm by man
Sperm
The Nutfah is not seen by naked eye because of
its smallness, but medical researches show that
secret of life is more smaller than that and it
is in the deep of the Nutfah, in what is called
the hereditary tape (DNA) which contains all
necessary information to create a Sane man. God
says (Thereafter We made him as a Nutfah and
lodged it in a safe lodging ) ( Surat Al-Muminûn
- verse 13 ) the safe lodging is the uterus,
scientists say that the uterus becomes greater
a thousand times after pregnancy!!!
16
Sperms are competing to reach the ovum as they
are trying to penetrate it , the question is who
taught these sperms to run in that darkness to
reach its target? And who drives it toward the
ovum? God says (Is then He Who creates like one
that creates not? Will ye not receive
admonition?) (Sûrat An-Nahl - Verse17)
Ovum
Sperm
17
Large number of sperms are surrounding the ovum
but only one sperm can penetrate it to form the
mixed Nutfah ( mixing of sperm and ovum). If we
examine the chemical composition of sperm or ovum
we will find that most of it consists of water ,
God says (So let man see from what he is created
he is created from a water gushing forth )
(Sûrat At-Târiq - Verse 5-6)
Ovum which is ovulated by the woman every month
18
Length of the sperm is less than one part of one
hundred part of millimeter
Each time the man ejaculate 300 million sperm!
Sperm is supported by a long tail to help it in
the swimming toward the target, that tail will
be separated from the sperm before penetrating
the ovum.
The head of the sperm contains all needed
programs and information to produce the embryo ,
therefore it is responsible for the determination
of the sex of the fetus (male or female). Quran
refers to that as God Says (And that He (Allah)
creates the pairs, male and female From Nutfah
(drops of semen - male and female discharges)
when it is emitted ) (Sûrat An-Najm verse 45-
46)
19
(Does not man see that We have created him from
Nutfah Yet behold he (stands forth) as an open
opponent.)
Sperm
(Sûrat Yâ-Sîn verse 77)
Ovum
When the first sperm enters the ovum ,that ovum
starts to secrete a matter to close its cover in
front of all sperms . after mating , the
fertilized cell starts to secrete hormone of HCC
which is detected by the pregnancy revealer ,
this hormone orders the entire body to stop the
menstrual period and also gives an indication
for the woman that she is pregnant.
20
The mingled sperm
Zygote
After 30 hours of entering the ovum by the sperm
, the first split occurs and the cell starts to
increase to form the mingled sperm , that is
after almost four days. size of the new cell is
less than the head of a pin as it is not seen .
God be He blessed and exalted says (Has there
not been over Man a long period of time, when he
was nothing - (not even) mentioned? Verily We
created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in
order to try him So We gave him (the gifts), of
Hearing and Sight( (Sûrat Al-Insân - verse 1-2)

21
He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor of all
things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the
Best Names. All that is in the heavens and the
earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the
All-Wise.
Who tells this cell to split and Multiply to form
a human?
A microscopic photo for a three days old embryo
!!! It is a cell which was divided into 8 cells
and it can be divided more and more to form 100
trillion cell.
22
Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and
Cherisher, Who created- Created man, out of a
(mere) clot of congealed blood
Embryo while searching in the dark for a place to
cling with it
The place where the embryo is clinging to the
uterus
The inner wall of the uterus
23
Clot
The clot
The inner wall of the uterus
After the merger of the sperm with an ovum ,
splits start at once, and then the fertilized
ovum goes toward the wall of the uterus to stick
and cling to it. God says ( It is He, Who has
created you (Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah
mixed semen drops of male and female sexual
discharge then from a clot (a piece of
coagulated blood) ) (Sûrat Ghâfir- verse 67 )
24
The fertilized cell is transformed to be the clot
, which is a group of cells that stick on the
Endometrium (the inner membrane of the uterus)
during almost 6 12 days and it chooses the
best place for that!
Clot
Scientists are confused What drives this cluster
of cells to attach to the uterus to get feeding
from it?
Endometrium
25
A little lump of flesh
After that , the embryo is transformed to
Something like a chewed piece of meat , God says
about that (then from a little lump of flesh -
some formed and some unformed (as in the case of
miscarriage) - that We may make (it) clear to you
(i.e. to show you Our Power and Ability to do
what We will). And We cause whom We will to
remain in the wombs for an appointed term) (Sûrat
Al-Hajj verse5 )
26
Then from a little lump of flesh - some formed
and some unformed
What happens at this stage?
Now, Length of the embryo is less than 4 mm
At this stage the important organs are created
like nervous system, heart and brain ,as heart
starts pulsing and also many systems like
respiratory system , kidneys and Liver are
rapidly grows up.

An image for an embryo in the stage of (little
lump of flesh) , it looks like a chewed piece of
meat, , at this stage it is hard to see that
little lump of flesh by naked eye, it needs
microscopes but Almighty God told us about this
stage and He represented it as if we see it with
our eyes !!!
28
7 Weeks-old embryo ,do you know what is the
length of it? It is less than 2 cm , bones
formation start at this stage.
29
Bone formation
Bones stage
What baffle scientists is what makes these
cells to know that it must be transformed to
bones at this time?
Bones formation start At this stage , during the
sixth week till the eighth . Bones formation and
growing continue after birth. God be He blessed
and exalted says (then We made out of that
little lump of flesh bones).
30
At this age, heart began pulsing, and brain
starts to transmit electromagnetic waves and the
embryo start to get affected by mothers voice.
hence mothers should always read Quran because
heart and brain of the embryo get affected by
that.
31
Flesh Stage
Now, Length of the embryo is less than 3 cm
At this stage, Muscles begin to take shape and
to cover bones. This stage lasts for a long time
and it overlaps with the previous stage which is
Bones stage. God be He exalted says (then We
clothed the bones with flesh)
32
And also in your own selves. Will you not then
see?
7-8 Weeks old embryo and appears on it the
beginning of the flesh stage as muscles start to
cover the bones. At the beginning of the eighth
week muscles start to move. Also skin starts to
cover the entire body . God be He exalted says
(Look at the bones, how We bring them together
and clothe them with flesh ) (Sûrat Al-Baqarah-
verse 259)
33
The covering process of the Mandible bone
12 Weeks
A photo of the Mandible bone in the head of an
embryo
34
The other creation
Length of that embryo is less than 4 cm
At this stage , the embryo starts to take its
final features , eyes and ears start to appear
also organs of the entire body , the heart start
its electrical activity ,brain is very
complicated and its weight is almost half the
weight of the body . The remaining operations are
just the growth of these organs . This stage
lasts till the end of pregnancy , God says
(and then We brought it forth as another
creation) (Sûrat Al-Muminûn verse 14)
35
During the first eight weeks , Embryo develops
and takes many different shapes . But after that
the appearance of the embryo remain without any
changes till birth .Therefore all cited stages by
the Quran happens during the first eight weeks
.The final stage starts from the eighth week till
birth which is called by the Quran another
creation and then We brought it forth as
another creation.
Now, Embryo is 8 weeks old and it has 90of the
systems in our body. Number of cells in that
embryo is 1000 million cell , who created these
cells?
36
So Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators..
Heart of the embryo strikes 54 million
pulse during pregnancy!
37
And then We brought it forth as another
creation. So Blessed is Allah, the Best of
creators
Ninth week Fetus starts to Sucking fingers,
moving his tongue and to feel with his mothers
body ,also genital organs for male and female
became clear.
Tenth week begin of the creation of fingerprints
and nails, also Fetus starts to yawn .
Eleventh week the genital organs start to emerge
, also the duodenum start its activities
The following weeks till birth is the beginning
of the fetus development and organs grow up
rapidly. The fetus starts to feel, smile and cry
and feels with mother. Also the fetus starts
training for Breastfeeding by Sucking fingers
and the continuous movement of mouse (opening
closing )to be ready for mothers milk.
38

• Many confusing questions by scientists
• How can a single cell evolves to produce that
  sophisticated creature which is human?
• Who tell these cells about its mission?
• Who coordinate its job
• to produce that perfect outcome?

4 Months old Fetus Now, Fetus can listen to
all surrounding voices
Now, length of the Fetus is 12 cm and weight
140 gram!
39
The end of the sixth month is the Completion of
creating the fetus, this is the minimum period
for pregnancy . God says (and the bearing of
him, and the weaning of him is thirty months )
(Sûrat Al-Ahqâf - verse 15 ). As breastfeeding
period is 24 months ,hence the minimum period of
pregnancy is 30-246 months And this is a
koranic miracle in determining the minimum period
of pregnancy.
Six months old Fetus
40
Look attentively at the size of the embryo when
it is one month old as its length is less than 4
millimeter and look at length of the Fetus just
before birth
Who guides that embryo in his journey to life ?
He is Almighty God who says (Our Lord is He Who
gave to each thing its form and nature, then
guided it aright ) (surat Taha- verse 50).
41
After nine months , Fetus gets out to be a child
with ears , eyes and brain which contains
1000000000000 cell . How does this child know
the exact time to go out ???? Allah is the doer
who says (then brings you forth as an infant )
(Sûrat Ghâfir- verse 67).
42
Arab poetry
O you son of Adam , your mother begets you when
you are crying at the time when all
people around you were happy and smiling Do a
work that will makes you happy when you die
and all of the people around you are sad and
crying
43
Here are some supplications by some prophets
O my Lord! Grant me from You, a good offspring.
You are indeed the All-Hearer of invocation.
O My Lord! Leave me not single (childless),
though You are the Best of the inheritors.
My Lord! truly, I am in need of whatever good
that You bestow on me!
Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our
offspring the comfort of our eyes, and make us
leaders of the pious.
44
Placenta feeds the Fetus with food , drink and
air . it doesnt allow harmful materials to pass
, Also it produce hormones which organize the
temperature of the Fetus . Scientists say that
placenta cares for the Fetus better than any
other intensive care room Glory to God !!
Placenta
Dear brother and sister!! One day , you were
stick In the womb of your mother where food and
livelihood were coming to you without any effort
. Shouldnt you Prostrate for that great God and
thanks him for that? Also if you asked him , is
he unable to answer you????
45
A smiling Fetus!!
Fetus starts laughing when he is inside the womb
of his mother and he starts to cry from the first
moment of being in the world. God told us about
the sequence of these two operations ,God says
(And that it is He (Allah) Who makes (whom He
wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep )
(Sûrat An-Najm - verse43)
46
(Or do they assign to Allah partners who created
the like of His creation, so that the creation
(which they made and His creation) seemed alike
to them?" Say "Allah is the Creator of all
things and He is the One, the Irresistible.)
(Sûrat Ar-Rad verse 16)
Cat embryo
Human embryo
There is a big similarity between the embryo of
many living organisms , which testify that there
is only one creator
47
Also there is a similarity between The beginning
of galaxies and the embryo at early stages which
testify that there is only one creator (be He
exalted and blessed), God says (Allah is the
creator of every thing) , Glory to God !!!
Image for a far galaxy in its early stages
Image for an embryo in its early stages
48
There is an amazing similarity between the brain
weave for an embryo and the cosmic web for a
galaxy !! It is really hard for a human to
distinguish between both of them . It is an
indication that the creator of universe is the
creator of human!!
Cosmic web
Brain weave
49
These facts
Testify on the oneness of the Almighty Creator
Finally, we have to ask a question for those who
claims that the Quran is a book of myths from
where in the seventh century did the illiterate
prophet Mohamed (Peace be up on him ) get these
specific details about embryo creation? Also, how
could he describes each stage with the best
scientific meaning? While scientists in the
seventeen century were confused about the
creation of human as they believed that inside
the Nutfah there is a complete human and they
never tried to talk about stages of creation as
Quran did. It is a Concrete evidence that
message of Islam is sincere !
50
He is the Originator of the heavens and the
earth. How can He has children when He has no
wife? He created all things and He is the
All-Knower of everythingSuch is Allah, your
Lord! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to
be worshipped but He), the Creator of all things.
So worship Him (Alone), and He is the Wakîl
(Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian) over all
things. No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps
all vision. He is Al-Latîf (the Most Subtle and
Courteous), Well-Acquainted with all things.
(Sûrat Al-Anâm- verse 101- 103)

In front of these fantastic facts we have to say
Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without
purpose, glory to You! (Exalted are You above all
that they associate with You as partners). Give
us salvation from the torment of the Fire.
