Inheritance in the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah Between the Past, Present and the Future

Abstract

The research studies the scientific basis of genetics discussed more than fourteen centuries ago. Genetic traits are transmitted from generation to another. Dominant and recessive traits are transmitted from parents to children. The research mentions the effect of the underlying 'genetic factor'which existence is confirmed by genetics scientists. Modern genetics asserts that the resemblance between a child and his parents may not be apparent. Far from both parents, a person may inherit the attribute of a grandfather or grandmother in which the time distance between them one hundred years. In the research, the genetic theory is linked to what is said in the Holy Qur'an that prophecy is transmitted from father to son through inheritance and by genetic components .
