BIRTH!

Since I am on the topic of women and romance and how that deals with character then I would like to show how the Qur'an gives respect to women and gives a detailed description of embryonic development. This was revealed 1400 years ago. In the Qur'an Allah doesn't only address men but He also addresses women. There is a whole Surah of the Qur'an named An-Nisa (The women) and there is also a Surah named Maryam ( Mary, Mother of Isa (Jesus) ). 

This is a video which explains the embryonic stages in the Qur'an. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuAfmJ3LS4s

This is a video which explains a ayah of the Qur'an which speaks of men not being able to have two hearts but women being able to have two hearts within them. Confused? Watch to find out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD2O9sDlsLQ

Ayah is used instead of verse because the word ayah means that it's basically something so extremely profound and Surah if I remember correctly means something like elevation. So Surah is used instead of chapter and Ayah is used instead of verse. More than one Surah would be called Surat instead of Surahs and more than one Ayah would be called Ayat instead of Ayahs. 

Every week one of my posts will be on the subject which is being spoken about and the second post will be something cool and interesting as it would generate more discussion.

  1. I like that you included definitions of the Ayah and Surah, very unique and meaningful words.

  2. Are those words only used in context with the Qur'an? Or are they used in general conversations as well?
