The three layers of darkness in the womb-Quranic Science

The three layers of darkness in the womb

Verse 6 of Surah Zumar says-

He has created you in your mother’s womb successively in triple darkness.  He is Allah your Lord, His is the Kingdom. There is no god but Him. So, where are you getting confused? [  Surah Zumar 39:6  ]   

In the 6th verse of Surah Jumar, Allah very clearly says that He has created man in stages between three darkness.

Talking about what these three darkness actually is? These three dark words actually refer to the three main coverings of the mother’s womb. We know that inside the mother’s womb, the baby is protected mainly by three layers. The first is the mother’s abdominal wall (Abdominal wall), the second is the womb or uterus (Uterus), the third is the amniotic fluid that surrounds the child (Amniotic fluid). These three coverings surround the baby and protect the baby until it is born. The baby floats inside the amniotic fluid, or watery covering, and acts as an important protective layer inside the mother’s womb.  

Humans were not supposed to have this anatomical knowledge at the time when the Qur’an was revealed. And Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was not a medical scientist. So like many other miracles this verse of Surah Jumar is also amazing.

Triple darkness in the mother’s womb. The main layers are visible – 1. Mother’s abdominal wall 2. Uterus cover, 3. Amniotic fluid.
