Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Fatima The Gracious Chapter 4: Transcendental Events The previous paragraphs spoke of Lady Khadija's excellent and noble characteristics, which should be a fantastic example for mankind to follow. She is the lady who gave birth to Fatima az-Zahra, and brought her up with talents and virtues.

Fatima az-Zahra was a descendant of two great people; we have briefly spoken about her parents, lives and virtues, and have drawn a picture through which we can look at Fatima's genius, and a corner of her life in light of genetic inheritance becomes clear to us.

Furthermore, there are undisputed facts that have been declared by the Sacred Messenger, and Ahlul-Bayt (as) that neither science, nor, contemporary discoveries have been able to discern the deep meanings, despite the scientific achievments. Because these facts are beyond the reach of machines and telescopes, photographers' advanced lenses cannot capture their rays, nor, can natural or, logical senses realize them.

Actually, the truth goes beyond material and logical realisation, for the five senses is unable to define it.

So, you may if you wish, call these facts "The Transcendental Facts." Before elaborating on these facts, it is incumbent upon us to make a brief introduction, as we say: The sperm (male reproductive cell), which is formed in the gonads, eventually fuses with the ovum (female reproductive cell) to become an embryo (later foetus and a baby), developed from the blood which is produced from digesting the food by various organs of the body.

Hence, there is no doubt that sperm which is a product of eating pork, or, drinking liquor differs from that which is produced from lamb (halal) meat; because of the difference in composition between various types of foods. In addition, food has peculiar effects on the human psyche and spirit; there are some foods that bring happiness to the heart and calm the nerves, while others do exactly the opposite.

Permissible and pure food(s) have beneficial effects on man; contrary to this, impure (haraam) food such as liquor, or, impermissible food like stolen, or, usurped meat harm the men. The influence of the food we eat becomes apparent in the sperm. Elaboration on this subject by procuring proof, and evidence takes special effort, which would lead us away from our original subject.
