Exhaustive Revelation

Quran

وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ بَشَرًا فَجَعَلَهُ نَسَبًا وَصِهْرًا ۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيرًا

"And it is He who has created from water a human being and made him [a relative by] lineage and marriage. And ever is your Lord competent [concerning creation]."

Surah Al-Furqan · 25:54

References the divine creation from seminal fluid (mā' al-nutfah) establishing that procreation is under Allah's power and may require both medical intervention and supplication.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن سُلَالَةٍ مِّن طِينٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُطْفَةً فِي قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظَامًا فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَاهُ خَلْقًا آخَرَ ۚ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ

"And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay. Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging. Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators."

Surah Al-Mu'minun · 23:12-14

Details the embryological process beginning with the nutfah (sperm-drop), reminding believers that male fertility issues relate to the quality and vitality of this essential fluid.

لِّلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ يَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ إِنَاثًا وَيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ الذُّكُورَ أَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَإِنَاثًا ۖ وَيَجْعَلُ مَن يَشَاءُ عَقِيمًا ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ قَدِيرٌ

"To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates what He wills. He gives to whom He wills female [children], and He gives to whom He wills males. Or He makes them [both] males and females, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent."

Surah Ash-Shura · 42:49-50

Explicitly addresses sterility (ʿaqīm) as a divine decree while affirming that fertility and offspring are gifts from Allah, establishing theological framework for seeking treatment while accepting divine will.

Sahih Hadith

تَزَوَّجُوا الْوَدُودَ الْوَلُودَ فَإِنِّي مُكَاثِرٌ بِكُمُ الأُمَمَ

"Marry women who are loving and very prolific, for I shall outnumber the peoples by you."

Sahih Muslim · 1438aSahihNarrator: Thawban

The Prophet's emphasis on procreation and fertility (walūd - prolific) indicates the importance of addressing infertility issues as part of the Sunnah's concern for increasing the Ummah.

مَنْ تَزَوَّجَ فَلْيَجْتَنِبِ الْحَمْقَاءَ فَإِنَّ وَلَدَهَا ضَيَاعٌ

"If anyone marries, he should avoid a foolish woman, for her child is a loss."

Sunan Abi Dawud · 3851HasanNarrator: Abu Hurairah

Demonstrates Prophetic awareness of hereditary factors in offspring quality, supporting the classical medical understanding that male vitality and seminal strength affect progeny health.

كُنَّا نَعْزِلُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالْقُرْآنُ يَنْزِلُ

"We used to practice coitus interruptus during the time of the Messenger of Allah while the Quran was being revealed."

Sahih Muslim · 1500cSahihNarrator: Jabir ibn Abdullah

Confirms that successful emission of viable seed is essential for conception, establishing that the male's contribution (nutfah) must reach its proper place, relevant to understanding male factor infertility mechanisms.

Classical Medical Sources

Ibn Sīnā · Al-Qānūn fī al-Ṭibb

Ibn Sina, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, Book 3, Fann 20, Chapter on Diseases of the Testicles and Male Reproductive Organs (Amrāḍ al-Khiṣyatayn wa al-Ālāt al-Tanāsuliyyah al-Dhakariyyah) - discusses deficiency of seminal fluid (qillat al-manī), weak sperm (ḍaʿf al-nutfah), and treatments including warming foods, specific herbs like rocket seeds, pine nuts, and chickpeas to increase seminal production and improve sperm quality through humoral balance and enhancement of generative faculty (al-quwwa al-muwallida).

Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah · Al-Ṭibb an-Nabawī

Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, At-Tibb an-Nabawi, Chapter on Foods and Medicines that Increase Sexual Power and Seminal Strength (Al-Aṭʿima wa al-Adwiya al-Latī Tuzīd al-Bāh wa Quwwat al-Manī) - recommends dates especially Ajwah, honey, eggs, onions, and specific prophetic foods that enhance male fertility through warming the kidneys and strengthening the lower back, which houses the generative power according to Galenic-Islamic medical theory.
