[57] The scientific accuracy of these details in the Quran...
[57] 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] Islam on Baby development stages: 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: Quran says: He Created you in the bellies of your mothers a creation from after a creation in triple darkness (39:6). The meanings of the above triple darkness are explained in a tradition by the fifth successor (c.
676–732 CE ) of the Prophet as: ‘Darkness of the abdomen, and darkness of the womb, and darkness of the placenta’. [59] Allah at two other places in Quran Says: We Created you from dust, then from a seed, then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed, in order to Clarify for you, and We Settle in the wombs whatever We so Desire up to a specified term, then We Extract you as babies for you to be reaching your maturity (22:5).
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] The fifth successor of the Prophet (676–732 CE) [60] says regarding God’s Words: then We Grow it as another creation [23:14] , he said: ‘It is the Blowing of the spirit into him’.
[61] 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. These are the stages but each stage duration is also given in Islam as: The 5 th successor (c. 676–732) of the Prophet says: ‘The seed [62] happens to be in the womb for forty days, then it becomes a clot for forty days, then it becomes a lump for forty days.
So, when four months are complete, Allah Sends two creating Angels, so they are both saying: ‘O Lord! What will You Created, male or female’. God Commands them both, and they are both saying: ‘O Lord! Miserable or happy?’ God Commands them both, and they are saying: ‘O Lord! What is its term?
