The answer

Cloning does not contradict a Muslim's belief that there is no creator but Allah. The soul is from the command of Allah, and the ability of humans to create images or manufacture does not mean the ability to bring to life. The miracle performed by Jesus (peace be upon him) was by the permission of Allah. Allah has challenged all creation regarding creation from nothingness, giving life, and causing death, and no human can bring the dead back to life. Cloning experts confirm that it is not bringing a living being out of a dead one, nor bringing to life from nothingness; rather, it is creating an exact replica from existing, living material. Therefore, cloning is neither creation nor origination from nothingness.
