He creates you in the wombs of your mothers — creation after creation — within three veils of darkness. That is God, your Lord! To Him alone belongs all the dominion.” [Quran 39:6]

In today’s installment of our Ramadan series, ‘Wahy is Water,’ Dr. Deena Kishawi [OB/GYN; Al-Amin Bioethics Member] begins her piece by introducing us to the water of the womb. A water that is critical to the development of unborn fetuses. Alongside scientific evidences, Dr. Deena emphasizes the role that the alim plays in integrating a wahy based approach into her own practice as a gynecologist. Shaykh Amin has played a critical role in her own professional and spiritual development.
