96:2 :
Created the man from clots.

23:12-14 :
Verily We created man from a product of wet earth; Then placed him as a drop in a safe lodging; Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh.

86:5-7 :
So let see man from what he is created. He is created from a fluid emitted. It comes out from between the backbone and the ribs.

55:19-20
He has let free the two bodies of flowing water, meeting together: Between them is a Barrier which they do not transgress

1. Babies develop from blood clot during gestation



At least, from a traditional Islamic point, this is no mistranslation or misinterpretation. Here are the tafsir;

23:14 - https://quranx.com/tafsirs/23.14
96.2 - https://quranx.com/tafsirs/96.2

All of them agree that "alaqa" is blood clot. Even if we argue for alternate meaning of the word, it remain a question as to why Qur'an use the word that also mean blood clot to describe a stage of embryo or fetus, leading to erroneous interpretation.

Rashduct4luv:



This is misleading as even wikipedia states that 'alaqa means "The Clot" or "The Clinging Thing.

The linguistic definition of ʻalaq علق (singular ʻalaqah علقة) is "leech", "medicinal leech", "coagulated blood", "blood clot", or "the early stage of the embryo".ʻAlaq is also a derivative of ʻalaqa which means "attached and hanging to something."Professor Abdul Haleem mentions that "ʻalaq” can also mean anything that clings: a clot of blood, a leech, even a lump of mud. All these meanings involve the basic idea of clinging or sticking."

As i said to Usermane before, you atheistic blokes here are on nothing but falsehood. Keep looking for loopholes till you die. Sometimes you lie to establish the truthfulness of your falsehood.

Translation error not scientific error!

Ultramane:


I am not lying. Please read the classical tafsir I've left link to. All agree "alaqa" in this verse refers to coagulated blood. This is not simple translation problem.

As I said before, if the Qur'an did not mean blood clot, why use a term that is also used to imply 'blood clot'? And why did the earlier scholars think it is blood clot?

What you're doing at this point is reinterpretation bias. All through the middle ages, no one bothered that 'alaqa', was taught by scholars as clot, but now that embryonic studies is possible and proved no clot state for fetus, people start looking for alternative meaning to validate Qur'an.

As for your ad hominem, I think you should learn to respect differences in opinion. If you're offended with this thread, please go read a thread that praise Qur'an.

Peace.

21:31 - And We have placed in the earth firm mountains lest it shake/quake with them.
78:07 - And the mountains as pegs

36:37-40 -
A token unto them is night. We strip it of the day, and lo! they are in darkness. And the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. And for the moon We have appointed mansions/phases till she return like an old shrivelled palm-leaf. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.

Sahih al-Bukhari » Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an:
Once I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the mosque at the time of sunset. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Dharr! Do you know where the sun sets?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know best." He said, "It goes and prostrates underneath (Allah's) Throne; and that is Allah's Statement:-- 'And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (decreed). And that is the decree of All-Mighty, the All-Knowing....' (36.38)

Sahih al-Bukhari » Book of Beginning of Creation:
The Prophet (ﷺ) asked me at sunset, "Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "It goes (i.e. travels) till it prostrates Itself underneath the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then (a time will come when) it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the interpretation of the Statement of Allah: "And the sun Runs its fixed course For a term (decreed). that is The Decree of (Allah) The Exalted in Might, The All- Knowing." (36.38)

36:40 -
It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit/arcs.

21:33 -
And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit/arcs.

79:27 - 29:
Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built? He raised the height thereof and ordered it. And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.

18:85-86:
And he followed a road. Till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people near it.

It is not meant by reaching the rising or setting of the sun that he reached its body and touched it because it runs in the sky around the earth without touching it and it is too great to enter any spring on earth. It is so much larger than earth. But it is meant that he reached the end of populated land east and west, so he found it - according to his vision - setting in a spring of a murky water like we watch it in smooth land as if it enters inside the land.

That is why He said, "he found it rising on a people for whom we had provided no covering protection against the sun." (Holy Qur'ân 18:90) and did not mean that it touches or adheres to them; but they are the first to rise on. Probably this spring is a part of the sea and the sun sets behind, with or at it, so the proposition takes the place of an adjective and God knows best

Until, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it going down into a black sea, and found by it a people. We said: O Dhu-l-qarnain, either punish them or do them a benefit.

18:90 -
Till, when he reached the rising-place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had appointed no shelter therefrom.

until, when he reached the rising of the sun, the place where it rises, he found it rising on a folk, namely, Negroes (zanj), for whom We had not provided against it, that is, [against] the sun, any [form of] cover, in the way of clothing or roofing, as their land could not support any structures; they had underground tunnels into which they would disappear at the rising of the sun and out of which they would emerge when it was at its highest point [in the sky].

Rashduct:

Ultramane as well as usermane (and other atheists) are here to malign and denigrate Islam and you will not succeed. The real question is what is the closest meaning of the word "Alaq?

23:13-14:


Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging; Then fashioned We the drop a alaqa, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh.

22:65
Seest thou not how Allah sendeth down water from the sky and then the earth becometh green upon the morrow? Lo! Allah is Subtile, Aware.

22:65
Hast thou not seen how Allah hath made all that is in the earth subservient unto you? And He holdeth back the heaven from falling on the earth unless by His leave.

25:25
A day when the heaven with the clouds will be rent asunder and the angels will be sent down, a grand descent.

50.06
Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts/cracks therein?

13:02
Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible supports.
