eggs. Each sperm is composed of a head, a neck, and a tail.
The tail enables it to swim like a fish toward the mother’s
womb. The head, which contains a section of the baby’s ge-
netic code, is covered with a special armored covering that
recognizes the entrance to the mother’s womb, the extreme-
ly acidic environment of which protects the mother from
germs. Allah knows this acid exists because He created it.

Also, it is obvious that He covered the sperm with its pro-
tective coat of armor. It is not only the millions of sperm that
are injected from the male into the uterus; there is also a mix-
ture of various fluids. Allah shows us this truth in the
Qur’an:

Has humanity ever known a point of time when it was
not something remembered? We created humanity from
a mingled drop to test it, and We made him hearing and
seeing. (Surat al-Insan, 1-2)
Sperm have a difficult journey on their way to the
woman’s uterus. No matter how hard they defend them-
selves, hardly more that 1,000 of the 200-300 million sperm
will reach the egg. While the sperm is designed to be com-

patible with the egg, the egg becomes mature in a different
environment. An egg formed in the ovary is first released in-
to the abdominal cavity, where it is immediately caught by
arms on the ends of the fallopian tubes. It then begins to
move up the fallopian tube, aided by the movement of the
hairs located inside it. The egg is about half the size of a
grain of salt.

The egg and the sperm meet in the fallopian tube,
