There are three possible meanings for the word "Alqa":

1. Something that sticks to everything due to moisture and creates a connection between them. It may be a reference to the process of sticking the blastocyst cell set to the uterine wall and creating a connection between them after implantation. How beautiful this amazing process was clearly stated in the Qur'an in 14 centuries ago![1]
2. "Alaqah" means blood clot, which may refer to the 21st day after sperm coagulation. When the heart and blood vessels are connected and the cardiovascular system is formed over time. The blood flows in the body of the fetus and the heart starts beating.
3.  It might mean “leech”. As the appearance of the sperm/fetus looks like a leech in the beginning. In terms of function, after the coagulation of the human embryo, the fetus sticks to the inner wall of the uterus and uses the nutrients in the mother's blood as a source of nutrition for growth. This is similar to the leech sticking to the skin and feeding in this way. or it is the spermatozoid looks like a leech. Thousands of them float in the water of a man.[2]

The Holy Quran mentions this matter before access to advanced equipment such as a microscope. Doctors were not able to prove it. But today we see famous scientists such as Professor Moore acknowledging the greatness of these verses of the Quran. As well as Ibrahim Seyed, a doctor and professor of Louisville University School of Medicine has discussed it in a detailed article.[3], [4]
