Creation of ManCreation of Man

The Quran says: "We created man from an
extract of clay. Then We made him as a
drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed.
Then We made the drop into an “alaqah”
(leech, suspended thing, and blood clot),
then We made the “alaqah” into a “mudghah”
(chewed substance)... (Quran, 23:12-14).

On the previous verse, Professor Emeritus Keith L.
Moore, one of the world’s most prominent scientists
in the fields of anatomy and embryology and author
of the book entitled “The Developing Human”, said
"It is clear to me that these statements must have
come to Muhammad from God, because almost all
of this knowledge was not discovered until many
centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad
must have been a messenger of God.”

A person came to the prophet Muhammad (SAWS)
and asked him whether Allah (God) will indeed put
humans back together in the hereafter after they
die in this life. Allah replied in the Quran "Does a
man think that We shall not assemble his bones?
Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order
the tips of his fingers." (Quran, 75: 3,4). Now we
know that fingerprints are unique for each individual
and the verse refers not only that Allah will put them
together but the process will be accurate to the level
of putting the fingerprints together.
