It was based on descriptive and comparative studies before the microscope and cellular biology in the 19th century. The theory of epigenetics was supported by Aristotle, William Harvey, Caspar Fredrick Wolff, and Karl Ernst Ritter von Baer. \n Baer\u2019s work laid the foundations of modern comparative embryology, while Balfour\u2019s A Treatise on Comparative Embryology was another formative publication. German anatomists Martin H.

Rathke and Wilhelm Roux and American scientists Thomas Hunt Morgan furthered embryonic development. [57] \n The scientific accuracy of these details in the Quran is truly remarkable and serves as evidence of its divine origins. It is astonishing to think that over 1000 years ago, the Quran provided insights into human embryology that were only discovered by modern science much later.

[58] \n Islam on Baby development stages: \n In 610 CE, Islam has given a detailed baby development inside the womb of mother, e.g., which is interesting to compare with the science: \n Quran says: He Created you in the bellies of your mothers a creation from after a creation in triple darkness (39:6). \n The meanings of the above triple darkness are explained in a tradition by the fifth successor (c.

\n Then We Created the seed to be a clot, then We Created the clot to be a lump of flesh, then We Created the lump as bones, then We Clothed the bones with flesh, then We Grow it as another creation . So Blessed is Allah, the best of the Creators [23:14] \n The fifth successor of the Prophet (676\u2013732 CE) [60] says regarding God\u2019s Words: then We Grow it as another creation [23:14] , he said: \u2018It is the Blowing of the spirit into him\u2019.

[61] \n Hence, a baby develops in three dark compartments, and forms from a seed, which becomes a clot, then a lump of flesh, followed by the formation of bones which are then covered with flesh and finally soul is breath into the body.\u00a0 These are the stages but each stage duration is also given in Islam as: \n The 5 th successor (c.
