Also, the embryo at this stage

obtains nourishment from the

blood of the mother, similar to

the leech, which feeds on theblood of others.

04Similarity suspended thingand an embryo

8/7/2019 Quran & Embryology

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/quran-embryology 17/46

The second meaning of the word alaqah is

“suspended thing.”

8/7/2019 Quran & Embryology

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/quran-embryology 18/46

We can see the suspension of the embryo, during the

alaqah stage, in the womb

(uterus) of the mother.

05Similarity of a blood clotand an embryo

8/7/2019 Quran & Embryology

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/quran-embryology 23/46

We can find that the externalappearance of the embryo and its

sacs during the alaqah stage is

similar to a blood clot.

This is due to the presence of relatively large amounts of 

blood present in the embryo

during this stage.

8/7/2019 Quran & Embryology

accurately to the descriptions

mudghah

Al-Quran 23

Arabic word mudghah means“chewed substance.”

8/7/2019 Quran & Embryology

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/quran-embryology 31/46

“If one were to take apiece of gum and chew it

in his or her mouth...

Professor Keith L. Moore—Embryology professor said:

8/7/2019 Quran & Embryology

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/quran-embryology 32/46

...and then compare it with a

embryo at the mudghah sta

8/7/2019 Quran & Embryology

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/quran-embryology 33/46

...we would conclude that tembryo at the mudghah sta

acquires the appearance of

chewed substance.”

8/7/2019 Quran & Embryology

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/quran-embryology 34/46

This is because of the somites athe back of the embryo that

somewhat resemble teethmark

in a chewed substance.
