SULALAH – QUINTESSENCE OF LIQUID<br />
“And made his progeny<br />
from a quintessence<br />
of the nature of<br />
a fluid despised.”<br />
[Al-Qur’an 32:8]<br />
The Arabic w<strong>or</strong>d sulaalah means quintessence <strong>or</strong> the<br />
best part of a whole. We have come to know now that<br />
only one single spermatozoon that penetrates the<br />
ovum is required f<strong>or</strong> fertilization, out of the several<br />
million produced by man. That one spermatozoon out<br />
of several million, is referred to in the Qur’an as<br />
sulaalah. We have also come to know now that only<br />
one ovum is fertilized out of the tens of thous<strong>and</strong><br />
produced by the female. That one ovum out of tens<br />
of thous<strong>and</strong> is also refered to in the Qur'an as<br />
Sulaalah. This w<strong>or</strong>d also means gentle extraction<br />
from a fluid. The fluid refers to both male <strong>and</strong><br />
female germinal fluids containing gametes. Both<br />
ovum <strong>and</strong> sperm are gently extracted from their<br />
environments in the process of fertilization.<br />
