Abstract

In the present article, a comparison has been made between stages of evolution of man's embryo according to Quran, hadiths, and embryology. Main stages of evolution of the embryo from thickened fluid (emshaj) to congealed blood ('ulqah) to embryo (muzghah) to bones and flesh (scientific names given to them by the Holy Quran) are in correspondence with their microscopic forms and characteristics. In all this stages, embryo's length is not more than few millimeters. Nevertheless, embryology appeared in the second half of the 20th Century with all its modern technology and equipment has confirmed these Quranic descriptions. If one knows the stages of evolution of man's embryo which is a manifestation of the Quran's marvels, his belief in the Owner of the world of creation, God- the Exalted-, as well as the eternal miracle of the Sealing of Prophets, i.e. the Holy Quran, will become stronger.
