The research aims to study the genetic cloning objectively. It is found, through what is mentioned in the Holy Quran, that people is unable to create, as challenged by the Almighty Creator, glory is to Him. In fact, cloning is not creation, but rather a kind of changing Allah’s creation, but it is forbidden. Cloning is a process in which a genetically identical copy of a cell, tissue or living organism is produced from genetic material. This happens naturally in organisms such as bacteria, insects, or plants, where reproduction happens without mating. The newly created copy is termed as a “clone”. The Scottish sheep “Dolly” is considered the most famous example. Cloning also refers to the process of applying a nuclear transfer technique to somatic cells. The research comes to the following findings:
1) Cloning is not considered creation; creation and creativity belong to Almighty Allah alone.
2) Admitting the falsehood of the suspicion of the creation.
3. Genetic cloning is viewed as a part of Allah’s creation and is considered to make significant risks across various aspects, thus doing it is religiously prohibited.
Research methodology: a definitional approach and an inductive analysis.
