The Birth of a Human Being

“It is We Who have created you. Why, then, do you not accept the truth? Have you ever considered that (seed) which you emit? Is it you who create it? Or are We the Creator?” (The Qur’an, 56:57-59)

 

Verses of the Qur’an regarding the developmental stages of a human being in the mother’s womb.

[We] then formed the drop into a clot and formed the clot into a lump and formed the lump into bones and clothed the bones in flesh; and then brought him into being as another creature. Blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators!

(Qur’an, 23:14)

 

Three Dark Stages of the Baby in the Womb

In the Qur’an, it is related that man is created through a three-stage process in the mother’s womb…. He creates you stage by stage in your mothers’ wombs in threefold darkness. That is Allah, your Lord. Sovereignty is His. There is no god but Him. So what has made you deviate?

(Qur’an, 39:6)

 The expression “fee thulumatin thalathin,” translated into English as “a threefold darkness,” indicates three dark regions involved during the development of the embryo. These are:

  • The darkness of the abdomen
  • The darkness of the womb
  • The darkness of the placenta
