Abstract

Camel word was used several times in the Quran and it seems that the most important of them is verse 17 in the Sura of Ghashie. In this verse the importance of the camel is equal to massive creations such as Heaven and Earth and deniers have been invited to study of how is the creation of the camel. Camel is more widely used in hot, arid regions of the world from ancient times and its efficacy was equivalent to all domestic animals. As well as it is known as the main reason for the survival of humanity and civilization in the desert. Special physiological and biological characteristics of this animal were identified in recent studies and also it was determined that there are unique properties in the milk and antibodies of the camel. The findings show that there are many therapeutic properties in camel milk for a variety of diseases, including diabete, cancer and other deadly infectious diseases that treatment of them is not yet possible to man. On the other hand the camel's immune system produces a unique antibody namely nanobody, that its special properties make it very suitable for different usage especially as a therapeutic reagent. Then new scientific findings define the importance of camel in the Quran. This article has attempted to clear the importance of this amazing creature in religion and the Quran with some scientific overviews.
