The Question Of When Life Starts In Islam
Interesting Sir! May I ask what you would define as conception ?, fertilisation alone or fertilisation + implantation. I have read the article u cited, what fascinates me is the verse “ We first created man from an essence of clay: then converted it into a drop of fluid at a secure place” . I know it is imprudent to use science to explain Quranic verses but “drop of fluid at a secure place “ can very well be interpreted as implantation of a blastocyst in the uterine lining or maybe the sperm resting in the uterus before fertilisation. I feel inclined to the former. Could you please comment on what an essence of clay is referring to? As that would certainly impact my overall understanding.
