During sexual intercourse, 250 million
sperms are emitted from the male at a time. The sperms
undertake an arduous journey in the mother's body until they
make it to the ovum. Only a thousand out of 250 million
sperms succeed in reaching the ovum. At the end of this
five-minute race, the ovum, half the size of a grain of
salt, will let only one of the sperms in. That is, the
essence of man is not the whole semen, but only a small part
of it. This is explained in the Qur'an:
( Does man reckon he will be
left uncontrolled (without purpose)? Was he not once a drop
of ejected semen? )
(The Qur'an, 75:36-37)

In the picture
to the left, we see semen ejected into the uterus. Only very
few sperms out of 250 million sperms emitted from the
male can make it to the ovum. The sperm that will fertilise
the egg is the only one out of a thousand sperms that have
managed to survive. The fact that man is made not from the
entire semen, but only a small part of it, is related in the
Qur'an with the expression, "a drop of ejected semen". |
As we have seen, the Qur'an informs us
that man is made not from the entire semen, but only a small
part of it. That the particular emphasis in this statement
announces a fact only discovered by modern science is
evidence that the statement is divine in origin.
