Keith L. Moore

world famous convert : to Islam : Keith L. Moore

Dr. Moore was a former President of the Canadian Association of Anatomists, and of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists. He was honoured by the Canadian Association of Anatomists with the prestigious J.C.B. Grant Award and in 1994 he received the Honoured Member Award of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists "for outstanding contributions to the field of clinical anatomy."

"For the past three years, I have worked with the Embryology

Committee of King ^cAbdulaziz University in Jeddah, Saudi

Arabia, helping them to interpret the many statements in the

Qur'an and Sunnah referring to human reproduction and

prenatal development. At first I was astonished by the accuracy

 of the statements that were recorded in the 7^th century AD,

before the science of embryology was established. Although I

was aware of the glorious history of Muslim scientists in the

 10th century AD, and some of their contributions to Medicine, I

knew nothing about the religious facts and beliefs contained in

the Qur'an and Sunnah."^[2]At a conference in Cairo he

presented a research paper and stated:"It has been a great

 pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Qur'an about

human development. It is clear to me that these statements must

have come to Muhammad from God, or Allah, because most of

this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later.

 This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger

 of God, or Allah." ^[1]Professor Moore also stated

that:"...Because the staging of human embryos is complex,

owing to the continuous process of change during development,

it is proposed that a new system of classification could be

developed using the terms mentioned in the Qur'an and

Sunnah. The proposed system is simple, comprehensive, and

conforms with present embryological knowledge.

"The intensive studies of the Qur'an and Hadith in the last four

 years have revealed a system of classifying human embryos that

is amazing since it was recorded in the seventh century A.D...

the descriptions in the Qur'an cannot be based on scientific

knowledge in the seventh century..."
