60. Allah's Scientific Miracles In The Quran: Pregnancy And Birth

The blessing of Allah is evident in the process of pregnancy and childbirth. The foetus is formed from a drop of sperm and develops fully during the uterine incubation period. The birth canal is made easier for the foetus to pass through with the expansion of the joints in the pelvic bones, the relaxation of the muscles and the lubrication of the canal with amniotic fluid. These physiological changes were only recently discovered with the help of technological devices and were already indicated in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago. Note 96.
