نویسنده
چکیده
OBJECTIVE To relate diverse aspects of genetics and its applications to concepts in the Glorious Qur'an and the ḥadīth. STUDY DESIGN The author compared passages from the Glorious Qur'an and ḥadīth with modern concepts in genetics, such as recessive inheritance, genetic counseling, genetic variation, cytoplasmic inheritance, sex chromosomes, genetics-environment interactions, gender determination, and the hypothesis of "pairing in the universe." CONCLUSIONS A fresh understanding of Islamic scripture reveals references to principles of genetics that predate contemporary discoveries. This highlights the need for further exploration of possible links between science and religion.
