Modern science tells us that human creation in mother’s womb is a very delicate process, and as the Fetus is a fragile thing, it needs much protection. Modern science also tells that this creation happens in the mother’s womb inside protected layers and in stages. Now look what the Quran tells almost 1400 years ago in Surah Zumar Verse 6:
“He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. Such is Allah, your Lord, and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)?” (Quran 39:6)
Three Veils:
The phrase “فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ ثَلَاثٍ” translated into English as “three veils of darkness” points to three dark regions involved during the development of the embryo. Now, these could be,
1-Darkness of the abdomen,
2- Womb/ or Uterus,
3- Amniotic sac/ Placenta/ or Amnio-chorionic membrane.
Inside these layers, the Fetus receives all sort of things required for its formation, including nutrition, chemicals, and oxygen, but light cannot reach it just as mentioned in verse 6.
Stages:
The verse also points out that a human being is created in the mother’s womb in stages. Which now we come to know by modern biology that the life in the womb of mother has three stages: 1- Pre Embryonic Or Fertilization Stage (10-14 Days), 2- Embryonic(till the end of 8 weeks) and 3- Fetal Stage (From 9th Week till Pregnancy)
