The classical Islamic sources concern themselves with the subject of human reproduction. Topically these references serve as illustrations of [[Allah]]'s might power, that he can bring forth life from seemingly unliving elements. Socially reproduction is understood as a duty incumbent upon the good believer/Muslim and reproduction is seen as a gift from Allah, and in keeping with the bible (Genesis 1:28) a duty for all of mankind. Analytically these references evince a knowledge of [[Embryology in Islamic Scripture|Embryology]] that is clearly gleaned from contemporaneously [[Sources of Islamic Theories of Reproduction|available Greek and Jewish sources]]: the importance of semen in reproduction is understood, though its role reflects Greek and Talmudic notions. The existence of the ovum is unknown and the whole process, its location and various stages are clearly not understood and only guessed at. Despite modern claims of the miraculous nature of [[Embryology in the Quran|the Qur'an's understanding of the science of embryology]], nothing in either the Qur'an or the hadith hints at an understanding of the science of embryology which was at all more advanced than the pre-scientific, flawed understanding of local cultures.
