On the subject of the creation of the foetus, it is narrated from the Prophet (S): “The seed in the womb of the mother (takes) 40 days to become a clot, then after 40 days it becomes a lump of flesh (foetus) when the child is 4 months old, by the command of Allāh (SwT), 2 Angels give the foetus a spirit (rūĥ) and specify the sustenance (Rizq), period of living, deeds (A°māl), prosperity and adversity of the child.” 1 (This may not be at a specific time rather it may be parallel to that of physical growth.) This is the breathing of Allāh (SwT)’s spirit into him. However, a major step is now taken and the foetus becomes a complete human. Stage 7: So far the development of an infant human is like that of an animal. Stage 6: Flesh now grows on the bones, as do organs and a nervous system. Stage 4: The zygote cells grow by segmentation then the mass gradually assumes shape in its growth as a foetus (a lump of fleshy tissue). Stage 3: The first change in the fertilised ovum is the conversion into a sort of clot of thickly congealed blood, or clinging mass. Stage 2: Living matter reproduces itself by means of sperm thus the human is then made into a seed (the seminal fluid), and placed in a firm resting place (the ovum of a mother). Stage 1: The human being initially starts off as clay in other words, the inorganic constituents of the earth are absorbed into living matter by way of food. In the verses above, Allāh (SwT) mentions 7 stages of creation: So blessed is Allāh (SwT), the best of creators!” Then We produced him as (yet) another creature.
Then We created the fleshy tissue as bones. Then We created the clinging mass as a fleshy tissue. Then We created the drop of fluid as a clinging mass. Then We made him a drop of (seminal) fluid (lodged) in a secure abode.
“Certainly We created the human being from an extract of clay. In Surat al-Mu`minūn, verses 12-14, He states: It is by observing this miracle that one inevitably desires to thank and revere Him, the best of Creators.
In several verses of the Noble Qur`an, Allāh (SwT) has mentioned the creation and stages of transformation of the child. The Creation of a Child According to the Qur`an
