NUTFAH – MINUTE QUANTITY OF LIQUID

NUTFAH – MINUTE QUANTITY OF

The Glorious Qur’an mentions no less than eleven

times that the human being is created from nutfah,

which means a minute quantity of liquid or a trickle

of liquid that remains after emptying a cup.

This is

mentioned in several verses of the Qur’an including

22:5 and 23:13.1

Science has confirmed in recent times that only one

out of an average of three million sperms is required

for fertilising the ovum. This means that only 1/3

millionth part or 0.00003% of the quantity of sperms

that are emitted is required for fertilisation.

1 The same is also mentioned in the Qur’an in 16:4, 18:37, 35:11,

36:77, 40:67, 53:46, 75:37, 76:2 and 80:19.
