The document discusses the development of senses in the human embryo according to both modern science and verses from the Quran. It notes that the Quran mentions hearing developing before sight, which matches current scientific understanding that the fetus can hear sounds after 24 weeks while sight develops after 28 weeks. It also references sayings from Prophet Muhammad stating an angel gives form to senses like hearing and sight after 42 days of development, matching the timing of organogenesis peak seen in modern embryology.

4. Sense in Human Embryo
The fetus can hear sounds after the 24th week.
Subsequently, the sense of sight is developed
and by the 28th week, the retina becomes
sensitive to light.

5. Sense in Human Embryo
• Consider the following Qur’aanic verses
related to the development of the senses in
the embryo:
• “And He gave You (the faculties of) hearing
and sight and feeling (And understanding).”
[Al-Qur’aan 32:9]
• “Verily We created Man from a drop Of
mingled sperm, In order to try him: So We
gave him (the gifts), Of Hearing and Sight.”
[Al-Qur’aan 76:2]

6. Sense in Human Embryo
• “It is He Who has created For you (the
faculties of) Hearing, sight,
• feeling And understanding: little thanks It is ye
give!”
• [Al-Qur’aan 23:78]

7. Sense in Human Embryo
• In all these verses the sense of hearing is
mentioned before that of sight. The
Quranic description matches with the
discoveries in modern embryology.
• What modern science confirms today was
known to Islam, 1400 years ago

9. Sense in Human Embryo
• Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has
said : “After the drop (nut.fa) has been [in the
uterus] for 42 days, Allah sends an angel that
gives it form and fashions its hearing, sight,
skin, flesh, and skeleton (of baby child).”

10. • As per modern science, the Organogenesis peaks
precisely at 42 days. The time frame given cited above
is in conformity with embryological observation. The
embryo reaches the sixth week without showing the
semblance of human form but by the seventh week of
its life – about three centimeters in size and beginning
to move – that semblance becomes visible in the
formation of the essential organs including the sensory
organs and grown bone tissue. The arms and legs have
lengthened. The foot and hand areas are
distinguishable and they have digits. And the first
recordable brain wave activity occurs.
