Abstract:
The present writing is about verses from the Quran that contain medical content and points. The author seeks to prove the wonder or miracle of the Quran by using verses used regarding the anatomy and physiology of the body. The meaning of miracle in this writing refers to the medical topics presented in the Quran that the audiences of the time of revelation were unaware of, and later their wisdom, discovery, and secrets were revealed. Topics such as the stages of human creation, oxygen deficiency at high altitudes, and the relationship between reproduction and bone.
Machine summary:
This subject has even sometimes been referred to as a "wonder" in hadiths; for example, Imam Ali (PBUH) says regarding human anatomy: "اعجبوا لهذا الإنسان ینظر بشحم و یتکلّم بلحم و یسمع بعظم و یتنفّس من خرم"؛ (Nahj al-Balagha, Wisdom 8) "You will wonder at the characteristics of this human, who sees with a piece of "fat," speaks with "flesh," hears with "bone," and breathes through a "gap"!!" The book Tawhid Mufaddal, which is derived from verses and revelation, is a prominent example of Imam Sadiq's (PBUH) references to the wonders and medical miracles of the Quran.

(Ismail Pasha, Dr. Abd al-Aziz, Islam and Modern Medicine or the Scientific Miracles of the Quran, translated by Sayyid Gholamreza Saeedi, 281/) In summary, according to the views of scientists, commentators, and linguists, "alaq" means "clotted blood"1 hanging to the uterus, especially since this stage of human creation is considered in modern embryology as the intermediary between the nutfah and the mudghah (becoming flesh); meaning this clotted blood remains hanging to the uterine wall for about 42 hours and feeds on its blood.
The period of differentiation of the generative layers (mudghah) continues until the third month of pregnancy, (Rezaei Isfahani, Mohammad Ali, A Research into the Scientific Miracles of the Quran, 2/894, quoting: Langman, Medical Embryology, 83/), but this "mudghah" does not always have one state and goes through various stages and conditions.
