0:01the Quran on
0:04embryology Professor Keith Moore is one
0:06of the world's prominent scientists in
0:08the fields of anatomy and embryology and
0:12is the author of the book entitled the
0:14developing human which has been
0:16translated into eight
0:18languages the book is considered a
0:20scientific reference work and was chosen
0:22by the special Committee in the United
0:24States as the best book authorized by
0:27one
0:28person Dr Keith Moore is the professor
0:31of anatomy and cell biology at the
0:33University of Toronto in Toronto
0:36Canada in 1984 he received the most
0:39distinguished Award presented in the
0:41field of anatomy in Canada the JCB Grant
0:45award from the Canadian Association of
0:48anatomists he has directed many
0:51International associations such as the
0:53Canadian and American Association of
0:55anatomists and the Council of the Union
0:58of biological sciences
1:01let's now listen to what Professor Keith
1:03Moore has to say about the revelations
1:06found in the Quran 1400 years ago and
1:10what science has only recently been able
1:12to find out through detailed
1:15investigation in the
1:171940s uh professor streer of The carnegi
1:21Institute of embryology in Washington DC
1:24proposed a system for classifying the
1:27stages of human development his system
1:31arranged human embryos in 23 numbered St
1:34stages based on their difference
1:37differences in appearance the Kiki
1:40system of classification was used around
1:42the world until the 1970s when a more
1:45refined system was proposed by Dr Ronan
1:48Ary of The carnegi Institute of
1:50embryology now in San Diego
1:54California intensive studies of the
1:56Quran and Hadith in the last four years
1:59have revealed a system for classifying
2:01human embryos that is amazing since it
2:04was recorded in the 7th Century ad
2:07although Aristotle the founder of the
2:09science of embryology realized that
2:12chick embryo was developed in stages
2:15from his studies of hen eggs in the 4th
2:17Century BC he did not give any details
2:21about these stages as far as it is known
2:24from the history of embryology little
2:27was known about the staging and
2:29classific ation of human embryos until
2:32the 20th century for this reason the
2:35descriptions of the human embryo in the
2:37Quran cannot be based on scientific
2:40knowledge in the seventh 7th Century the
2:44only reasonable conclusion is that these
2:46descriptions were revealed to Muhammad
2:48from God he could not have known such
2:51details because he was an illiterate man
2:54with Absol absolutely no scientific
2:57training the first uh stage is adaa and
3:02you'll have to apologize my for my
3:05pronunciation U this is from Surah T 6
3:11he is Created from a drop
3:13emitted this Arabic term refers to the
3:17forceful emission of fluids which occurs
3:20during ejaculation in the male and
3:23ovulation in the female the male
3:26secretions called Sean contain the spaoa
3:31and the female secretions called
3:33folicular fluid contain the ovam this is
3:37the stage of fertilization and the nuta
3:42and after the this is what we call the
3:45zygote referred to in the cran as the
3:48nuta and the nuta undergo division which
3:52we call cleavage as it passes down the
3:55uterine 2 so these are the stages of the
3:58nuta here as it undergoes uh cell
4:02division
4:03um it is this term is used several times
4:06in the Quan when referring to the
4:08beginning of development after examining
4:11all these references it is concluded
4:13that nuta refers to the small drop of
4:16fluid containing the sperm and the ovam
4:19the term nuta is also used to refer to
4:22the dividing zygote as it undergoes
4:25cleavage cell division and passes along
4:28the uterine tube to enter the uterus
4:31this Sur says then he made his progeny
4:35from a quintessence of the nature of
4:37fluid
4:39despised salala is an Arabic term refers
4:43to the gentle extraction of the germ or
4:46sex cells from the millions that are uh
4:50produced there are 300 to 500 million
4:53sperms in the ejaculate of a healthy
4:57young male only one of these is a
4:59extracted from the semen to fertilize
5:02the oval this shows a photograph of the
5:06millions of sperm uh when they are
5:10ejaculated and only one of these several
5:13million sperms are is drawn out which is
5:16what is suggested by the word sulala now
5:20the same in the case of the uh ovary uh
5:25uh only one ovam reaches maturity and is
5:28expelled from the OV
5:30and it is extracted from the many
5:33thousands that are available in the
5:35ovary again the idea of extraction or
5:39suala the next stage is amaj amaj Sur ad
5:44D to verily recreated man from a mixture
5:48of a germinal drop amage then is an
5:51Arabic term is used in the cran to
5:53describe the mixing of the sperms and
5:55the ovam during
5:57fertilization uh the ovam or R rotates
6:00within the fluid containing the sperms
6:02until one of them is successful in
6:05penetrating its covering layers which we
6:07call the Corona
6:10radiata and the Zona pooa which is this
6:13layer
6:15here I'll read it again in English uh
6:18it's Sur abasa 19 he created a new
6:21individual from nuta and immediately
6:24planned and programmed him that was the
6:26first one we had oh there it is um so
6:31elel then is an Arabic term which means
6:34coming into being and it's used when
6:37referring to the fertilized ovam or
6:40zygote here you can see the uh nuclei
6:44from the sperm and the ovam uniting to
6:47form a new cell which is the zygote or
6:50nuta and uh then uh here is the zygo nut
6:55again but it's just getting ready to
6:56divide into two cells which we call the
6:59dividing zygote or the dividing
7:02nuta the next stage El
7:06teer which is the same verse that was
7:09just repeated this Arabic term means the
7:12determination of characters and appears
7:14to refer to the fact that from the
7:16beginning the zygote or nuta contains
7:19genetic factors in the chromosome
7:21contain the genes which determine the
7:23color of the future person's eyes hair
7:26and skin and all its other
7:28characteristics such as the appearance
7:30of the face and the
7:32body Al Hearth
7:34Sur Al beera a 223 your wives are as a
7:40tilt unto you this Arabic term refers to
7:44the plowing of the earth and the sewing
7:46of the seed in it this term is used in
7:49reference to sexual intercourse plowing
7:52and implantation of the blasty sewing of
7:55the seed this analogy is a very good one
7:59since the blasty develops root-like
8:01structures called chonic Villi which
8:04derive oxygen and nutrients from the
8:07mother's blood just as the roots of the
8:09plant sh here uh Drive their nutrients
8:14from the
8:17soil next uh is ala let's have the next
8:23slide ala is Sur Al minum I of 14 then
8:29we created the drop into a leech-like
8:31structure then of that leech-like
8:33structure we made a chew like substance
8:37alaka refers to a leech-like
8:39appearance especially at about 22 days
8:42as shown in this
8:45slide this is a leech and this is the
8:48human embryo but 23 days I think you
8:52have to agree that the
8:53similarity between these structures is
8:58amazing and the it is truly the human
9:00embryo is truly leech-like
9:03the leech-like embryo is attached to the
9:06chonic sac which is embedded in the
9:09maternal blood and attached to the
9:11maternal endometrium or the lining of
9:14the
9:16uterus this is uh the muda stage Surah
9:20Al mum aah 1 to 14 and I repeated that
9:25before then we created the drop into a
9:27leech-like structure then of that each
9:29like structure we made a chw like
9:32substance which you can see here and
9:35begins during the sixth
9:38week next uh stage is
9:43uh Alissa
9:46billan Surah Al Min Ayah 14 then we
9:50cloth the bones with
9:53flesh so in the previous stage then we
9:55had the bones and then we covered the
9:58bones with flesh so this Arabic term
10:02means a clothing uh with flesh and after
10:05the bones form they become surrounded or
10:08clothed by flesh or muscles which
10:10acquire attachments to them these muscle
10:13attachment permit movements of the
10:15skeleton to
10:18occur now this is the final stage of
10:21development called
10:23elasha then we developed of him another
10:26creation uh anasha means uh growth are
10:29coming into being this undoubtedly
10:32refers to the fetal period when there is
10:35growth and differentiation of the embryo
10:37that developed in the embryonic period
10:40the rate of body growth during the fetal
10:43period is remarkable especially between
10:45the 9th and 16th
10:48weeks notice how quickly it's growing in
10:51this uh NASA stage
10:54or uh fetal period as we call it the
10:57next uh stage is l
11:01Kia this sah says that the duration of
11:04pregnancy and separation is 30 months
11:07this Arabic term refers to the viability
11:10or ability of the human fetus to survive
11:13outside the uterus there's no definite
11:16time when survival of the fetus is
11:18assured but it is generally accepted now
11:21that a fetus that is 24 weeks or older
11:24has a reasonable chance of survival
11:27survival of fetus's 22 to 24 weeks old
11:31has only been become possible in the
11:33last 2
11:34years uh when better methods are
11:37providing care for premature infants uh
11:40were developed so uh the period viable H
11:45or fetus would be here at 24 weeks we
11:48used to say 26 28 but now with better
11:52incubation uh some babies at 24 weeks
11:54can survive we've even had some at 22
11:57weeks but this takes highly
11:59sophisticated incubation uh to do that
12:02so this period Then is the uh period of
12:07viability or the ability of the human
12:09fetus to
12:11survive the next stage is the AL hadana
12:15alemia this uh stage refers to the final
12:19stages of fetal development in the
12:21uterus when the fetus could survive if
12:24born prematurely but it remains in the
12:26uterus where it is supported or
12:28nourished by by the mother in most cases
12:31therefore the uterus acts as an
12:33incubator for the premature infant
12:35weight gained during these final weeks
12:37is phenomenal as the fetus accumulates
12:40fat and is gradually prepared for
12:45birth this last Ayah is Surah abasa ayat
12:5019 and 20 from a drop he created him and
12:53immediately planned and programmed him
12:56then he makes his passage easy
12:59this uh Arabic term
13:02uh means to make the passage easy it is
13:05well known that as the time of birth
13:07approaches the maternal tissues of the
13:10cervix and the joints of the pelvis
13:12become looser so that the passage of the
13:14fetus through the fetal Canal will be
13:17facilitated this process initiated by
13:20hormones in the mother's blood
13:22accelerates during the early stages of
13:25labor or delivery of the baby as the
13:27amniochorionic
13:29sack that is the bag of waters
13:32surrounding the baby expands near the
13:35time of birth it protrudes into the
13:37cervix that is the neck of the uterus
13:40and causes it to
13:41dilate when the amniochorionic sac
13:45ruptures the amniotic fluid provides a
13:47slippery pathway for the fetus to pass
13:50along the cervix and vagina to the
13:53outside of its mother all the above
13:56occurrences facilitate the birth of the
13:58baby that is is they make the passage
14:01easy the stages of embryonic and Fetal
14:03development mentioned in the cran should
14:06be used when teaching Muslim Students
14:09because they are in accordance with our
14:11modern understanding of the development
14:13before birth it will also enable Muslim
14:16doctors and nurses to explain human
14:18development to their patients using
14:21uranic
14:22references Muhammad could not have known
14:24these facts about human development in
14:26the 7th Century because most of them
14:29were not discovered until the 20th
14:31century Muslims and others are justified
14:33in concluding that these facts could
14:35only have been revealed to Muhammad but
14:38the one know who knows all about us not
14:40only about how we developed but how we
14:42live and function thank you
