Mingled Liquids

“Verily WE created man from a drop of mingled sperm.”

[Al Qur’an 76:2]

(Similar thing is also mentioned in 16:4, 18:37, 22:5, 23:13, 35:11, 36:77, 40:67, 53:46, 75:37 and 80:19)

The Arabic words 'nutfatin amshaajin' means mingled liquids. According to some commentators of the Qur’an, mingled liquids refers to the male or female agents or liquids. After mixture of male and female gamete, the zygote still remains 'nutfah'. Mingled liquids can also refer to spermatic fluid that is formed of various secretions that come from various glands. Therefore, 'nutfatin amshaaj', i.e. a minute quantity of mingled fluids refers to the male and female gametes (germinal fluids or cells) and part of the surrounding fluids.
