And I can tell you this; despite the massive work done by IERA, it is not comparable to the precision of the Arabic words used in the Quran no matter how much I try to translate.I am a medical student who began to dive into Embryology "نطفة" "مضغة" "علقة" "قرار مكين These words just sum up the hundreds of lines with Latin-Greek medical terms that we learned "fertilization forming the zygoet, blastocyst's implantation, umbilical chord development and many more". How? Arabic words are far more expressive than English. E.g. Arabic poetry is much deeper than English, there are such expressive hidden meanings that make any Arabic listener appreciate the depth of the word. It is totally unfair to claim that "nutfah" is a drop of fluid, it is much more than that, it indicates a single cell very clearly to any Arabic ear. It is the unit; the smallest structure, a drop, a cell, etc. I hope you get what I am aiming to say...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229990984320313018.post-68012350780042777082011-10-25T12:57:54.690+01:002011-10-25T12:57:54.690+01:00Thanks for the reference, Anonymous.
