P-146: The Holy Quran, Genetic Gender Determination and Recognition, and Divine Knowledge and Creativeness

Background: Determining the genetic gender has been a human's inaccessible will during the history. Today science resolves the problem; pre implantation diagnosis (PGD) is used as a method of genetic disease diagnosis and gender determination. The holy Quran in many verses ascribes genetic gender determination and recognition to Allah, the Almighty. Hence, according to some, genetic gender determination is a divine action and human interfering with this process is in direct contradiction to the presumption of divine creativeness and is interference with divine wisdom. In other hand, some believe that though it originally is due to Allah, its substances and Materials causes have been bestowed to people by Allah. The present survey studies the theoretical problems of this modern technique and its contact with divine knowledge and creativeness. We aim to study and criticize the proposed contradictions between this technology and divine presumptions and affairs. Materials and Methods: Basic, Desk, Analytical. Results: 1. Allah's will and decree is prior to all affairs and so all natural and Materials causes solely by the will of Allah could be effective. 2. Knowing divine presumptions of the universe order, the modern technology of genetic gender determination and recognition not only is not interfering with Allah's actions and contrary with divine presumptions but also is a sign of being human the successor of Allah and a sign of being heavens and the earth at his control and disposal, so long as there is neither interfering with divine affairs nor change of divine legal rules. 3. The holy Quranic verses (related to divine creativeness) aim to show the power of Allah the Almighty, not to negate the effective causes of determining and recognizing the genetic gender. 4. Whatever found in traditions encouraging couples to eat some special foods, because of the gender and other characters of the embryo, could connote the human's power in such cases. Conclusion: 1. Allah's will and decree is prior to all affairs and so all natural and Materials causes solely by the will of Allah could be effective. 2. Knowing divine presumptions of the universe order, the modern technology of genetic gender determination and recognition not only is not interfering with Allah's actions and contrary with divine presumptions but also is a sign of being human the successor of Allah and a sign of being heavens and the earth at his control and disposal, so long as there is neither interfering with divine affairs nor change of divine legal rules. 3.
