Female Ovum Mentioned In Quran

Female Ovum Mentioned In Quran

The Holy Quran has described female ovum in a nut-shell.We read in Holy Quran Surah Ad-Dahar Chapter 76 verse 2:

إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا

"Verily we created man out of sperm intermingled so that we might try him and we made him seeing and hearing."

We read in Tafsir Al-Qummi vol 2 page 398:

"And in report Abu AL-Jaroud ,
 Au Jafar(AS) regarding the words of High "Surely We created man from small life-germ uniting(76:2)" he(AS) said:"The mixing of water of man and water of woman."

The words water of man and water of man refers to the seminal fluids of male containing sperm and seminal fluid of female containing sperm. 

Moreover,the word Nutfah refers to both egg(sperm of woman) and sperm(of man).See: Dic. of Quran by M.G. Farid page 781 and Al-Munjid page 821.

23:12-14 And indeed, We created humankind from an essence of clay. Then We placed him as a drop in a firm resting place. Then We created the drop into a clinging substance, then We created the clinging substance into an embryonic lump, then We created the embryonic lump into bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh; then We produce it as another creation. So blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators.

(The Arabic word “nut’fat” (drop) is both male’s and female’s secretion. Some translations of the Qur’an are correct calling it “fertilized ovum/egg” or “male and female gamete” or “zygote” (sperm and ovum fused), or “drop”. But other translations are wrong interpreting it as “sperm” or “semen”)(The drop/zygote (sperm and ovum fused) is placed in a firm resting place (uterus or womb), the drop/zygote becomes a clinging substance (blastocyst), the clinging substance is implanted/embedded in the uterine wall, and it develops into an embryonic lump)(Allah knows best)
