The relationship between modern science and Islam has increased dramatically after the major scientific discoveries about the origin of life and the universe.

"These new discoveries have assisted greatly in the understanding of what the ayat [verses] in the Qur'an mean. For example, there is a section of verses where Allah mentions that during the process of human development, there is a stage where we were an `Alaq in the womb. (96:1-5) The word literally means, "a clinging thing." But no one knew in past centuries how that could be part of the process of growth for a fetus," says Yahiya Emerick in his book What Islam is All About.
