{{Main|Greek and Jewish Ideas about Reproduction in the Quran and Hadith}} | |||
Verse 77:21 refers to the liquid (ma’in) that is placed in a firm lodging (qararin makeen) for a known extent. The verse is complimentary to verse 23:13, which refers to the semen (nutfah) that is placed in a firm lodging (qararin makeen). This reflects the contemporary, but incorrect view in the Jewish Talmud, which in turn derives from the Greek theories of Galen and Hippocrates, that the embryo is initially formed out of semen stored in the womb. The same idea is prevalent in the hadith. In fact, semen is the vehicle for the sperm cells, one of which fuses with a woman's ovum in her fallopian tube, and the resulting cell divides and travels back into the womb for implantation. | |||
