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 />
