But the word doesn&#8217;t have a universally accepted meaning. Could GHALAQ be genetic chromosomes made from DNA?<\/p>\n<p>This video presents evidence from biology, genetics, and linguistics that it might.<\/p>\n<p>Note: &#8220;gh&#8221; is most often used to transliterate the Arabic letter &#8220;\u063a&#8221; not &#8220;\u0639&#8221;. So, my spelling of ghalaq is not a standard transliteration of the Arabic word \u0639\u0644\u0642. Most scholars would spell it as &#8216;alaq, and others as ealaq. In this post, I didn&#8217;t use standard transliteration tables because I felt the standard transliterations would be a distraction to non-Arabic speakers.\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gH_a0tTbC8c\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This video presents evidence from biology, genetics, and linguistics that it might.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":52338,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[684],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinion-articles-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52251\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
