LOL, I see that this link is personal:
"In his typical combination of desperation, incompetence, and stupidity, the Islamic apologist, Osama Abdallah, makes the following claim about the word nutfah in an attempt to make it sound like a single sperm:"
And he then goes on to say:
"Abdallah’s claim has been copied by other Islamic websites, and recently another well-known apologist was foiled in an attempt to evolve the claim further by suggesting that Abdallah’s mistaken generalization actually appears in the Lisan al-Arab definition. Lisan al-Arab’s actual definition of nutfah is a little amount (qalil, قليل) of water (see beginning of this article). Note that even if we supposed that nutfah had meant a single drop, a sperm is a discrete object from among many of the same discrete objects, unlike a drop of water, which is an amount of something from a larger amount."I have thoroughly proven that NUTFAH means A SINGLE ENTITY, and the BEST ONE of its group. This is how the Arabs of old understood it, and I have thoroughly proven this. See the links below. And this is not the only Noble Word that demonstrated the Overwhelming Miracles in the field of embryology in the Glorious Quran. As I mentioned above, in regards to Embryology in the Glorious Quran, please checkout the following link:
www.answering-christianity.com/bones_then_muscles_wrapping.htm. You'll see the ample Noble Verses, and the detailed Arabic analysis that demonstrate:
1- Man is created from the purest and the best sperm (
سلالة) that is also drawn with ease (
سل ).
2- The sperm
(نطفة) is injected into
(في) a secure and firm base
(قرار مكين); the female's egg. In another Noble Verse, sperm
(نطفة) is said to be a piercing and penetrating one (
تمنى and
يمنى (to pierce)), which is exactly how the male's sperm enters the female's egg - through piercing through it.
3- The sperm develops into a leech-like
(علقة) substance.
4- Then the leech-like substance develops into a chewed-like
(مضغة) substance.
5- Then from the chew-like substance bones
(عظام) are created.
6- Then the muscles
(لحم) wrap around the bones.
7- The fetus goes through "three Veils of darkness and Stages" development. Science just confirmed it recently, and the Glorious Quran mentioned it 1,500 years ago.

You see, when clowns respond to thorough references from seven big dictionaries with silly comments/paragraphs of this kind, then I have no reason to really take them seriously. All I have to do is give the reader the link that the infidels "responded" to to refute them back. The reader can clearly see the detailed analysis in Arabic and how Miraculous indeed the Glorious Quran's Statements and Words at:

Take care,
