Under the patronage of the President of University of Alkafeel , Prof. Dr. Nawras Mohammed Shaheed Al-Dahan, the University Presidency , Lifelong Learning Centre organized a scientific workshop : “Astrobiology Meets Quran: Meteorites and Human DNA Creation” , presented by Prof.Dr. Ali Khalaf Ali from Maysan University , College of Science, on Monday,27  October 2025.

    The workshop addressed the scientific miracles in Glorious Quran through Surah Al-Tariq, where the lecturer explained the precise relationship between Quranic terms such as: the preserving soul, gushing water, the back , and the ribs, and modern scientific concepts in the fields of anatomy, embryology, physiology, and hormones.

     Dr. Ali explained that there is a precise scientific correlation between the Quranic vocabulary and modern discoveries in biology, which reflects the precedence of Quran in referring to scientific facts that were only recently discovered. He also manifested that the use of the same Quranic terms in more than one science demonstrates the depth of the linguistic and scientific miracle of the Quranic text. The lecturer also addressed the stance of Quran on the theory of evolution and the origin of life, explaining that the Quran presents a different perspective that encourages research and contemplation on the creation of man from an integrated faith-based and scientific viewpoint.

     The objective of this workshop was to strengthen the connection between science and the Holy Quran, especially for students in medical disciplines. He explained that the study of embryology, anatomy, and histology should be combined with reflection on the Quranic verses that address the creation of man, as Allah the  Almighty say: “Now let man but think From what he is created !”
