Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, and i wont be able to reply much, gotta go in a minute,

How is it you people believe that God has a son? God is much too high for that. If got never rests, he never eats, he doesnt do what normal people do, how do you expect him to bear a child, even through Mary.

And yes, Hindu texts were altered, BUT parts of it werent, like the Bible, Bible has many similiar things to the Quran, like cleaning yourself and Kindness, mercy etc. Because it describes the way Muslims do Wudhu, or wash themselves.

We believe God's personal name is Allah, we mention it in the Quran hundreds of times, may i please know what YHWH is? Im sorry.

"Then of that leech-like structure, We made a chewed lump." Sura 23:14

The word "alaqah" refers to a leech or bloodsucker. This is an appropriate description of the human embryo from days 7-24 when it clings to the endometrium of the uterus, in the same way that a leech clings to the skin. Just as the leech derives blood from the host, the human embryo derives blood from the decidua or pregnant endometrium. It is remarkable how much the embryo of 23-24 days resembles a leech (Fig. 2). As there were no microscopes or lenses available in the 7th century, doctors would not have known that the human embryo had this leech-like appearance. In the early part of the fourth week, the embryo is just visible to the unaided eye because it is smaller than a kernel of wheat.

May we continue this conversation

Cheers :)
