Claim from Sahih Muslim 2643b:
"The creation of any one of you is like this: that semen is collected in the womb of the mother for forty nights…"
Scientific Fact:
Modern embryology has thoroughly mapped out human conception and fetal development. Here’s what real biology tells us:
-
Semen does not remain ‘collected in the womb for forty days’.
Semen’s job is to deliver sperm to fertilize an egg. This happens typically within 24 hours after intercourse — sperm cells reach the fallopian tubes within minutes and fertilization occurs there, not in the womb (uterus). -
Once an egg is fertilized, it becomes a zygote, travels down the fallopian tube, and implants into the uterine wall within 6-12 days — not 40 days of “semen collection.”
-
There’s no scientific or biological process where semen remains ‘collected’ for 40 nights as suggested by this hadith. It’s a demonstrably false pre-modern belief.
Theological Question:
If Allah is truly Al-‘Alīm (The All-Knowing), why would He reveal scientifically flawed biological claims through Muhammad?
And if Muhammad was indeed a true prophet of the one true God, how could he preach something so biologically inaccurate and inconsistent with observable human development?
In contrast, the Bible is scientifically neutral on embryology. It acknowledges life’s mystery in the womb without making faulty biological claims:
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.” — Psalm 139:13 (ESV)
It poetically speaks of God’s sovereign work in the womb without detailing flawed stages.
Final Thought:
If Muhammad made such provably false statements about human creation, should his prophethood not be questioned?
And if Allah’s supposed revelation contradicts established science, is this truly from an all-knowing, all-wise deity — or a man’s guesswork in a pre-scientific era?
Truth is not afraid of scrutiny. Test every claim. The evidence points to Christ as the flawless, sinless, miracle-working Lord — not Muhammad.
