There have been immense scientific developments by scientists. These have been in the fields of biology, foetal sciences, science of cells, medical biology, genetic engineering, and last but not least animal cloning, as a preface for human cloning. These developments have exceeded all expectations and have been acknowledged with amazement. These immense scientific developments and their applications, which were achieved through advanced technology, point to the greatness of Allah, His Might, His Wisdom, and the perfection of His creation. These things indicate that Allah is their Creator. They also indicate that they were not created by mere coincidence, because they follow a precise order and specific laws that control and regulate them. In addition, they have characteristics that fit their use and the purpose of their creation. All of this shows that these things could not have been created by coincidence because coincidence does not bring about such concise laws and such precise system. The concise laws and the precise system prove the existence of the Creator who is the Organizer, Perfector, Almighty, and All Wise. This means that He created everything in a precise way and made it such that it is equipped to fulfill its needs. It was a creation made with wisdom and with exact measure, and it was not a creation without measure. This creation was made out of nothing, because creation is making things of nothing, and not made from what already exists. Making something out of existing things is not considered creation. These scientific developments and their applications were achieved by scientists and made possible by astonishing new advances in technology. This technology relating to humans, animals, plants, or matter is only a tiny fraction of the many things that exist in this universe, a universe that has many

things which remain unknown. It is also part of the laws and systems which control things and regulate them and part of the characteristics which Allah has given the creation so that it will facilitate its functions to achieve the things that they were created for. Allah says in the Quran [Al-Isra, 17: 85]

a tube under similar circumstances as in the womb. Then, the fertilized egg is transferred to its natural place in the wifes womb so that pregnancy and then birth will proceed naturally. This is a medical procedure to treat the above condition, and it is allowed by Shariah since it achieves something that Islam has commanded and encouraged which is reproduction. It is a main aim of marriage. Anas (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah said:
Marry the affectionate who is fertile; I will be boasting about your number to the Prophets on the Day of Judgement. Also,Abdullah ibn Umar narrated that the Prophet of Allah said;
Marry the mothers of children (i.e. who can have children); I will be proud of you on the Day of Judgment. Both were narrated by Imam Ahmad. In the case where treatment is attempted to make the fertilization happen in the natural way, and that does not work, then it is possible to have the fertilization in another place, other than the natural place. The egg fertilized by the husbands sperm is returned to its natural place in the womb of the wife, so a normal pregnancy can proceed. This procedure is recommended since it achieves reproduction which Islam calls for.

Usually, this procedure of achieving fertilization is not used unless the procedure to achieve fertilization in the natural way has been tried and has failed.

Any woman who introduced to some people an offspring that does not belong to them, then she has nothing to do with Allah and she will not enter Paradise; and any man who denies his son while looking at him, he will not see Allah and Allah will disgrace him in front of the first and last generations. Ibn Abbas (RA) said that the Prophet of Allah said;
Whoever claims relationship by birth to other than his father or belonged to other than those he belongs to, then the curse of Allah, the Angels, and all the people be upon him.
