\u201cAnd We bestowed dignity on the children of \u2018Adam and provided them with rides on the land and in the sea and provided them with a variety of good things and made them much superior to many of those We created.\u201d (Al-Quran, Surah al-Isr\u0101 (17):70)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Embryonic stem cell (ESC) research involves studying and using stem cells derived from early-stage embryos (usually around 5\u20137 days old) to understand disease mechanisms, develop treatments, and potentially regenerate damaged tissues. These stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they can differentiate into any type of cell in the human body.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to the sharia this process is unlawful. The reason for this is because according to Islam the human body, irrespective of its religion, its nature is considered noble. Nothing which contradicts with its nobility will be permissible. As extracting, donating parts or fluids from a human contradicts with its God-given nobility, these acts are unlawful. Please note the issue does not lie in the research itself rather the process of extraction and donation.<\/span><\/p>\n
