The Qur’an is not a scientific manual; however, it articulates a coherent ontology of life that strongly resonates with the foundational principles of modern genetics and biological taxonomy. Its discourse on origin, lineage, diversification, and biological order reflects an implicit recognition of hereditary continuity and species-level organization. When examined through contemporary scientific terminology, certain Qur’anic statements align closely with what is now understood as genetic inheritance, population structure, and taxonomic hierarchy. Two verses are particularly instructive in this regard: Surah al-Ḥujurāt (49:13), which addresses human genetic unity and diversification, and Surah al-Anʿām (6:38), which extends the concept of organized biological communities to non-human life. Together, these verses provide a framework for interpreting life as a law-governed system characterized by lineage stability and structured diversity. www.issp.edu.pk
