The Scientific Miracles of the Qur'an
In the Qur'an, it is said that
masculinity or femininity
are created out of "a drop
of semen which has been
ejected". However, until
fairly recently, it was
believed that a baby's sex
was determined by the
mother's cells. Science
only discovered this
information given in the
Qur'an in the 20th century.
He has created both sexes, male and female from a drop of semen
which has been ejected. (Surat an-Najm: 45-46)
Was he not a drop of ejaculated sperm, then a blood-clot which He
created and shaped, making from it both sexes, male and female?
(Surat al-Qiyama: 37-39)
The developing disciplines of genetics and molecular biology have
scientifically validated the accuracy of this information given by God in
the Qur'an. It is now understood that sex is determined by the sperm cells
from the male, and that the female has no role in this process.
It is the chromosomes that
determine the sex.
