Why did Allah send Gabriel to tell us we were made from frozen blood?

Question

Qu'ran: in the name of thy Lord who Createth. Createth man from a clot (Surat Al-Alaq 96:1-5).

The Arabic word "alaq" translated into English as "clot" means frozen blood.

Man was created from the dust of the ground, not from frozen blood. Even the Quran states this fact:
Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man from clay. When I have fashioned him and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in prostration unto him" (Surat Sad 38:71, 72).

Here the Quran contradicts itself. In one instance it says that many was created from "a clot" which means "frozen blood," while in another, it says that man was created from "clay." The fact is, man was created from the dust of the ground as the Bible states.

As every reader who has studied human reproduction will realize, there is no state as a clot during formation a fetus, so this very major scientific problem.

Would the angel Gabriel make such a scientific error?

Answer 1

error is always evident when displayed against truth...the koran is error that can never stand against the word of God

Answer 2

true Islam is not misquoted Islam

“We created man froman extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an *(leech, suspended thing, blood clot), then We made the into a ** (chewed, lump)” (23:12-14)

We find that the external appearance of the embryo and its sacs during the transitory stage (alaqah) is This is due to the presence of relatively large amounts of blood present in the embryo during this stage.

In comparing a leech to the embryo at the transitory stage (alaqah) we find similarity between the two. Also, the embryo at this stage obtains nourishment from the blood of the mother, similar to the leech which feeds on the blood of others.

The second meaning of the word alaqah is “suspended thing”... The suspension of the embryo, during the alaqah stage, in the womb of
the mother.

“We created man froman extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an
(leech, suspended thing, blood clot), then We made the into a chewed, lump)” (23:12-14)

The blood in the embryo does not circulate until
the end of the third week.

Thus the embryo is like a clot of blood at this stage!

“He it is who created you from CLAY...” (6:2)

More recently, new lines of evidence have begun to complement the existing data. That is, for example active research into the possible
involvement of CLAYS in the origin of life. Their potential as catalysts has been long emphasized, while the alternation of different clay minerals in clay-stack has led to the intriguing suggestion that here is a possible template for the coding of information that by subsequent transfer to living cells provided the basis for the genetic code.

Answer 3

the arabic language is complex .. .it has a 100 meanings for one word
There is no difference in the meaning of "Alaqah" or "Alaq", with reference to their usage in the related verses. From a morphological perspective, "Alaq" is an infinitive noun, which, when rendered as a proper noun in the Arabic language, is generally used to imply either the active or the passive participle. Thus, "Al-Alaq" means something which sticks or clings or something made to stick or cling. On the other hand, "Alaqah" is the singular form of the noun, implying a sticky or a clinging thing.

Thus, lexologists explain "Alaqah" as: A piece or one part of 'Alaq'. As for the referred writer's contention that the word 'Alaqah' is not used for something which sticks or clings. It is clearly based on false information. According to the lexicon "Mukhtar al-Sihah":

العلق الدم الغليظ والقطعة منه علقة والعلقة أيضا دودة في الماء تمص الدم (مختار الصحاح ج 1، ص 189)

Al-Alaq is used for thickened (due to drying) blood and a piece therefrom is called Alaqah. And "Al-Alaqah" is also used for a maggot, which lives in waters and sucks blood.

This should adequately clarify that Alaqah is used as a singular noun for Alaq, irrespective of the meaning of Alaq. Kitab al-`Ain says:

العلق الدم الجامد قبل أن ييبس والقطعة علقة والعلقة دويبة حمراء تكون في الماء (العين ج 1، ص 161)

Al-Alaq is solidified blood before it is completely dried. A piece of it is called Alaqah. And 'Alaqah' is also used for a red colored insect in water.

Answer 4

There are no errors in the Quran nor did Gabriel bring any errors. The errors are in your statements as well as translations fool!

Answer 5

The only angel that helped with the Quran was a fallen angel, a deceiver.

May God Bless you.

Answer 6

You muslims... you're rubbish isnt even consistent.

Answer 8

Islam agrees with Christianity, in general, on the following points:

1. Islam advocates the holiness of Jesus. As a matter of fact, it is an essential part of the Islamic teaching to revere Jesus and to believe in his holiness, and that he lived in this world as a pure person free of any sin. From the Holy Qur'an:

"When the angels said: 'O Mary! Surely God gives thee good news of a word from Him whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, Son of Mary, worthy of regard in this world and the hereafter, and of those who are highly accepted by God.' " 3:45

2. Islam declares the holiness of Mary, the mother of Jesus. No Muslim can doubt the decency and purity of Mary. She, according to the Qur'an, had been the most noble among the women of the nations:

"And when the angels said: 'O Mary! Certainly God has chosen thee and made thee pure and has preferred thee above the women of all nations. 'O Mary! Be obedient to thy Lord, prostrate thyself and bow with those who bow (in worship).'" 3:42-43

3. Islam declares that Jesus was miraculously born from a virgin mother with no father. From the Holy Qur'an:

"And mention Mary in the book. When she withdrew to a place east of her family. She screened herself from them; then We sent to her Our angel, and he appeared to her as a man in all respects. She said: 'I seek refuge in God against you if you are righteous.' He said: 'I am only a Messenger of Thy Lord to grant to you a pure boy.' She said: 'How can I have a son, and no mortal has yet touched me, nor have I been unchaste?' He said: 'So (it will be). Thy Lord says: "It is easy for Me; and that We may make him a sign to men and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter decreed. Then she conceived him; and withdrew with him to a remote place. And the throes of childbirth drove her to the trunk of the palm-tree. She said: 'Oh, would that I had died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten. So a voice came to her from beneath her: 'Grieve not, surely thy Lord has provided a stream beneath thee. And shake towards thee the trunk of the palm-tree, it will drop on thee fresh ripe dates. So eat and drink and be pleased. Then if thou seest any human, say: "Surely I have vowed a fasting for the sake of the Beneficent, so I will not speak to any human today." 19:16-26

4. The Qur'an attributes to Jesus many of the miracles which are mentioned in the Gospel. According to the Holy Qur'an, Jesus was empowered by God to cure the sick, revive the dead, and make the blind see:

"... and He (God) will make him (Jesus) a messenger to the children of Israel (saying): 'I have come to you with a sign from your Lord that I fashion for you, out of clay, the likeness of a bird, and I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by permission of God. I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I raise the dead by permission of God. And I announce unto you what ye eat and what ye store in your houses. 'Lo! Herein verily is a sign for you, if ye are to be believers.' " 3:49

In addition to this, the Holy Qur'an ascribes to Jesus a miracle that is not recorded in the gospels: Jesus spoke clearly while he was in the cradle:

"Then she came to her people with him, carrying him. They said: 'O Mary, thou hast indeed brought a strange thing. O sister of Aaron, thy father was not a wicked man, nor was thy mother an unchaste woman.' But she pointed to him. They said: 'How should we speak to a one who is a child in the cradle?' He said: 'I am indeed a servant of God. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet; and He has made me blessed wherever I may be, and He has enjoined on me prayer and purity so long as I live. And to be kind to my mother; and He has not made me insolent, un-blessed. And Peace be on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I am raised to life (in the Hereafter).' " 19:27-33

The area of disagreement between Islam and Christianity, concerning Jesus, includes the following points:

1. Although Islam accepts the holiness of Jesus, it denies his divinity. According to the teaching of Islam, Jesus is no deity. He is not God, nor is he united with God. He is worthy of reverence and great respect, but he is not worthy of worship. Islam is uncompromising in its Monotheism. God is only One, and there i
