Hemoglobin isn't mentioned anywhere in the Quran.
"Miracle"
At the time the Qur’an was revealed, nobody was aware of the molecule hemoglobin and there was no such medical term in existence. Hemoglobin, which transports oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood in our bodies and that gives blood its red color, was only discovered in the 19th century.
Hemoglobin forms thanks to the element iron (Fe) in our bodies and is of vital importance to the performance of vital functions. The element iron (Fe) present in the middle of hemoglobin binds itself to oxygen and thus carries oxygen in the blood. For that reason, the hemoglobin molecule can be considered together with the element iron.
In verse 25 of Surat al-Fath, the letters comprising the words Fe (iron) and hemoglobin miraculously appear side by side. In addition, the letters comprising hemoglobin do not appear side by side in any other verse. This exceptional circumstance is one of the proofs of the Creation of Almighty Allah, the Lord of the past and future, He who is unfettered by time.
مَعْكُوفًا أَن يَبْلُغَ مَحِلَّهُ
HEMOGLOBIN ف ن ي ب ل غ م ح
HE ME GE LE BE YE NE FE
- The word hemoglobin is written almost the same in Turkish, Arabic, English and other languages. The letters comprising the word hemoglobin appear side by side from left to right.
The verse
The verse has nothing to do with hemoglobin:
They are the ones who disbelieved and obstructed you from al-Masjid al-Haram while the offering was prevented from reaching its place of sacrifice (معكوفا أن يبلغ محله). And if not for believing men and believing women whom you did not know - that you might trample them and there would befall you because of them dishonor without [your] knowledge - [you would have been permitted to enter Makkah]. [This was so] that Allah might admit to His mercy whom He willed. If they had been apart [from them], We would have punished those who disbelieved among them with painful punishment
Incorrect letters
The little part of the verse is:
Arabic:
مَعْكُوفًا أَن يَبْلُغَ مَحِلَّهُ
Transliteration: ma'akoofan an yablugha mahillahu
The word hemoglobin is nowhere to be found.
Arabic is read from right to left. But in the miracle claim the quoted letters are from left to right which is wrong in Arabic. And even from left to right, the miracle claim has it wrong.
مَعْكُوفًا أَن يَبْلُغَ مَحِلَّهُ
Actual individual letters:
م ع ك و ف ا أ ن ي ب ل غ م ح ل ه
Individual letters according to the miracle claim:
ف ن ي ب ل غ م ح
If the verse really consisted of the letters that the miracle claims, it would look like:
ف ن يبلغ مح
But the verse doesn't look like that. The real verse is:
معكوفا أن يبلغ محله
The naming of the letters is also completely wrong. Even if the verse consisted of the letters mentioned in the miracle claim.
Letters according to the miracle claim:
ف ن ي ب ل غ م ح
Names of the letters according to the miracle claim:
HE ME GE LE BE YE NE FE
Actual names of the letters:
Haa Meem Ghayn Laam Baa' Yaa' Noon Faa'
And if we write the letters together (currently they are from left to right, so we will have to rearrange them from right to left to make it have something to do with Arabic):
Letters: ف ن ي ب ل غ م ح
In the correct order:
ح م غ ل ب ي ن ف
Written together in the correct order:
حمغلبين ف
So the supposed word hemoglobin is:
حمغلبين
However in Arabic the word hemoglobin is written like this:
هيموغلوبين
Arabic has two letters "h", ه and ح. And the word in the "miracle" starts on the wrong one. This "miracle" is wrong on every level.
Also Arabic doesn't use the Arabic letter ف (faa') to represent iron. Iron in Arabic is حديد (hadeed) and the symbol Fe is written as Fe (without transliteration to Arabic letters).
