Harun Yahya

The bones of the baby completing its
development in the mother's womb are
clothed with flesh during one particular
stage exactly as stated in the Qur'an.

Qur'an is word for word correct.
These observations at the
microscopic level showed that the
development inside the mother's
womb takes place in just the way it is
described in these verses. First, the
cartilage tissue of the embryo ossifies. Then, muscular cells that are
selected from amongst the tissue around the bones come together and
wrap around the bones.
This event is described in a scientific publication titled Developing
Human in the following words:
… [T]he shape of the skeleton determines the general appearance of the
th
embryo in the bones stage during the 7 week; muscles do not develop at
the same time but their development follows soon after. The muscles take
their positions around the bones throughout the body and therefore
clothe the bones. Thus, the muscles take their well known forms and
structures… The stage of clothing with muscle occurs during the 8 th
week… 90

In short, developmental stages of man, as described in the Qur'an,
are in perfect harmony with the findings of modern embryology.

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 deity
but Him. So what has made you deviate? (Qur'an, 39:6)
