The Human Body

The Human Body 

A flawless structure with many fine details that are still yet to be discovered.  Scientists engaged in research using today’s advanced technology obtained astonishing results concerning the human body. One of these dealt with the tissues in the body.

Living tissues contain 26 different elements. 6 of these are the most common; carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur. These basic elements represent 95% of all tissues, this in turn represents important scientific evidence of the information revealed in the Quran.

The creation of man out of clay. The building blocks that constitute almost all the human body are present in the soil either in free or compound forms. The first human being was created by God who shaped clay into human form and breathed the soul into it.

This miraculous event is described in the Quran:

Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man from clay: "When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in prostration to him." (Surah Sad :71-72)


In another verse God tells us that: We created man from an extract of clay. (Surah Al-muminun: 12)

The word translated as extract in the verse means representative example or essence. The information revealed in the Quran 1400 years ago confirms what modern science tells us; the fact that the same elements are employed in human creation as those found in the soil.
