DNA

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Extract from QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART I:

59. WaAAindahu mafatihu alghaybi la yaAAlamuha illa huwa wayaAAlamu ma fee albarri waalbahri wama tasqutu min waraqatin illa yaAAlamuha wala habbatin fee thulumati al-ardi wala ratbin wala yabisin illa fee kitabin mubeenin

6:59. And with Him are the keys of the unseen – none knows them but He. And He knows what is there in the land and the sea. And not a leaf falls, but He knows it. And no grain in the dark recesses of the earth, or anything green or dry, but it is all recorded in a book manifest.¹⁸

18. Allah thus informs us that He causes everything happening, whether on a macro scale or micro, anywhere, is recorded. Allah's ways are inscrutable for the human mind, but the modern man, with his advanced knowledge, gets an inkling of His ways when he finds how, inter alia, his genealogy is recorded in his DNA!
