Where does humanity come from in islam? How did humanity begin in islam? What does the quran say about the embryology?
Mankind did not even know that man is created from his father’s sperm.
“O MEN! If you are in doubt as to the [truth of] resurrection, [remember that,] verily,
- We have created [every one of] you out of dust,
- then out of a drop of sperm,
- then out of a leech-like clot,
- then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you…” (al-Hajj, 22: 5)
The findings of modern embryology and anatomy are exactly same as those phases reported by the Qur’an.
The Qur’an mentions the order of feelings bestowed to man as “hearing, seeing and comprehending.” The accuracy of this sequence has also been scientifically proven. The first feeling created in the mother’s uterus is the hearing.
The greatest enigma that man cannot solve is “life”. Whether or not there is another life form in the universe has been investigated, and the thought that if there is water in a place, there might be life there makes people excited. Because, according to the predictions, the prototype of living beings first appeared in waters. The protoplasm (the substance of a living cell), which is the only environment where life may appear, consists almost entirely of water.
The Creator of everything states this fact in the Qur’an centuries ago:
“…We made from water every living thing…” (al-Anbiya, 21: 30)
The living creatures’ development from a sperm drop is also the creation form water.
İsmail Hakkı Bursevî:
Allah bestows you moral and material supports and blessings as if He has no other servant but you even though you cannot fulfill your devotion to Him properly. Whereas, in respect to worship, you are heedless as if you have a shelter and backing) other than Him. (What a terrible tactlessness and unawareness this is!)
