Ad Deen

I've been studying human embrology for quite some times now and it's pretty hard.
Makes me think of Allah greatness.
The complexity of it all.
No computer or human invention can rival that of the creation of human.

I mean can a human thinks of making so many cells, grouped into tissue and then organ and then system.
And then, having all the system working so that they complement each other.

How thing as small as sperm and ovum fuse together and voila, me!
voila, you!
Have you ever look back at yourself, what you was?
what you could have been?
a puddle of semen, a remnants of uterus in the form of menstrual blood.
So low.

And this Encik Moore is the author of the book that we at LFHK use to study embryology. Let us see what he found.

He created you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. Holy Qur'an (39:6)

Referring to above verse in the Quran, Dr. Moore says: "This verse from the Koran states that God makes you in the wombs of your mothers in stages, one after another, within three veils of darkness." Then he explains his amazement: "The realization that the embryo develops in stages in the uterus was not discussed or illustrated until the 15th century A.D.

"The staging of human embryos was not proposed until the 1940's, and the stages used nowadays were not adopted worldwide until a few years ago."

It is reasonable to interpret the three veils of darkness mentioned in the Koran as:

* the mother's abdominal wall;
* the wall of the uterus; and
* the amniochorionic membrane composed of the fused amnion and chorion.

These three anatomical layers protect the embryo from external injury."

Encik Moore, clearly, even he didn't mean it, followed the very first surah that was sent down to Muhammad PBUH. Iqra'(al-alaq)
Yes,
Proclaim! In the name of your Lord, who created;

2 Created man, out of a clot of congealed blood:

3 Proclaim! And your Lord is most bountiful,

4 He who taught you to write,

5 Taught man that which he knew not.

6 No, but man transgresses all bounds,

7 In that he looks upon himself as self-sufficient.

8 Truly, to your Lord is the return.

9 Do you see one who forbids

10 A votary when he prays?

11 Do you see if he is guided?

12 Or enjoins righteousness?

13 Do you see if he denies and turns away?

14 Knows he not that Allah sees?

15 Let him beware! If he desist not, we will drag him by the forelock,

16 A lying, sinful forelock!

17 Then, let him call to his council:

18 We will call on the angels of punishment!

19 No, heed him not, but bow down in adoration, and bring yourself closer!


And to add the greatness of Allah creation, the uterus wall,
(yes, the uterus or womb, the place where you and me had the chance to reside for a brief of time)
is architecturally designed so that it can provide shelter to the foetus that will be in there.

And how there are gap between contractions during parturition (labour).
Do you know why?
Giving birth is like walking on thin ice.
And demand a great giga deal of energy.
Thus the gap is for the mother to scrape her energy and give a very good push.
So that you, and me and others may have the chance to feel what it is like to be on the earth.
Yeah, we don't do anything but depending on our mother to push us out.
We breath, thanks to our mothers' determination
And you can tell now why I feel like my chest is bursting, my sight blurred and I feel like vanishing when I have done something that hurt my mom.

See, how neat and complicated is Allah's plan?
