[quote][quote]86: 5.  So let man consider of what he is created: 
86: 6.  He is created of water pouring forth,  
86: 7.  Coming from between the back and the ribs.

Any body if can explain, how between the back and the ribs?[/quote]

[blue][size=2]It is an inarguable fact that sperm is created in the testicles. Therefore, we must make sure we are understanding these verses correctly. We must look carefully at the verses to ascertain exactly what the Qur’&#226;n is saying and – more importantly – what it is not saying. There are some serious problems with this translation and the assumptions made therein. To begin with, these verses say nothing whatsoever about the creation of sperm or the creation of anything else. Consequently, they do not inform us of where the creation of sperm takes place. They merely say that the substances under discussion come out form the places being described. 
[b]The word being used is “yakhruj” meaning “to exit, leave, come out, emerge”. It in no way implies anything related to creation or origination. Secondly, the phrase “m&#226;’ d&#226;fiq” (emitted fluid) is not restricted in meaning to sperm but is used in Arabic for both the sperm and the egg. Ibn Kath&#238;r, in his commentary on this verse, writes: “It emanates from the man and the woman, and with Allah’s permission, the child comes forth as a product of both.” Thirdly, the words translated as “backbone” (sulb) and “ribs” (tar&#226;’ib) are not understood in Arabic to belong to the same person. Arabs understand the “sulb” to refer to a part of the male body and the “tar&#226;’ib” to a part of the female. [/b]
Ibn Kath&#238;r states: “It refers to the ‘sulb’ of the man and the ‘tar&#226;’ib’ of the woman, which is the area of her chest.” He then quotes this interpretation on the authority of the Prophet’s companion Ibn `Abb&#226;s. This same understanding is given in all the major classical works of Qur’anic commentary. Moreover, the word “sulb” should not necessarily be translated as “backbone”. This word has many possible meanings and backbone is only one of them. It is also quite commonly used to mean the loins of a man. This is how it is used elsewhere in the Qur’&#226;n. Allah says: “Prohibited to you (for marriage) are…wives of your sons proceeding from your loins (asl&#226;b, the plural of sulb).” [S&#251;rah al-Nis&#226;’: 23] There can be no problem with sperm coming out from the area of a man's loins. Likewise, when we look at the word being translated as “ribs” (tar&#226;’ib, the plural of tar&#238;bah) we find that it is used linguistically for the general are of the chest and the abdomen. In al-Q&#226;m&#251;s, the famous classical dictionary of al-Fayr&#251;zab&#226;d&#238; it is defined as a number of things: “the bones of the chest or what comes after the two collarbones or what comes between the collarbones and the chest or the four ribs to the right of the chest or the four ribs to the left of the chest or the hands, eyes and feet or the collarbones.” Some Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and some Successors had also provided many possible meanings, like the lower ribs and al-Dahh&#226;k’s statement that it is the area between the breasts and feet and the eyes (a mere indication of centrality).
