BLOOD CIRCULATION AND THE PRODUCTION OF MILK
The QUR'AN was revealed 600 years before the Muslim scientist Ibn Nafees described
the circulation of the blood and 1000 years before William Harwey brought this
understanding to the Western world. Roughly thirteen centuries before it was known what
happens in the intestines to ensure that organs are nourished by the process of digestive
absorption, a verse in the QUR'AN described the source of the constituents of milk,
in conformity with these notions. To understand the Qur'anic verse concerning the above
concepts, it is important to know that chemical reactions occur in the intestines and
that, from there, substances extracted from food pass into the blood stream via a complex
system; sometimes by way of the liver, depending on their chemical nature. The blood transports them to all the organs of the body, among
which are the milk-producing mammary glands. In simple terms, certain
substances from the contents of the intestines enter into the vessels of the intestinal
wall itself, and these substances are transported by the blood stream to the various
organs. This concept must be fully appreciated if we wish to understand the following
verse in the QUR'AN:
"And verily in cattle there is A lesson for you. WE give you to drink Of what is
inside their bodies, Coming from a conjunction Between the contents of the Intestine and
the blood, A milk pure and pleasant for Those who drink it."
[AL-QUR'AN
16:66]{Translation of this Qur'anic verse is from the book The BIBLE, the QUR'AN
and Science" by Dr. Maurice Bucaille.}
"And in cattle (too) ye Have an instructive example: From within their bodies WE produce (milk) for you To drink; there are, in them, (Besides), numerous (other) Benefits for you; And of their (meat) ye eat."
[AL-QUR'AN
23:21]
The Qur'anic description of the production of milk in cattle is strikingly similar to what modern physiology has discovered.

Sex determination and human creation in Islam. Allah Almighty and Prophet Muhammad both claimed that the human gender is determined by the male's ejaculated semen.
Were human cloning and gender alteration prophesied in Islam?
Why does the Noble Quran, while speaking about determination of the identity of the individual, speak specifically about finger tips? The Noble Quran recognized that finger tips (finger prints) are unique!
Thinking with the heart besides the brain in the Noble Quran was proven by Science.
