pholipids, fibrinolysin, zinc, phosphatase acid, phosphase,
hyaluronidase and sperm. These fluids exercise different functions,
such as containing the sugar necessary for providing energy for the

sperm, neutralizing the acids at the entrance of the uterus, and provid-
ing a slippery substance for the easy movement of the sperm.
When semen is mentioned in the Qur'an, this fact, which was dis-
covered by modern science, is also referred to, and semen is defined as
a mixed fluid:
We created man from a mingled drop to test him, and We made him hear-
ing and seeing. (Qur'an, 76:2)

In the Qur'an, it is said that masculinity or femininity are created out of "a
drop of semen which has been ejected." Until fairly recently, it was believed
that a baby's sex was determined by the mother's cells. Science only dis-
covered this information given in the Qur'an in the 20th century. This and
many other similar details about the creation of man were stated in the
Qur'an centuries ago.
