إِنَّ
اللَّهَ عِندَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا
فِي الأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَّاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَداً وَمَا
تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ
"Surely
Allah is He with Whom is the knowledge of the hour, and He sends down
the rain and He knows what is in the wombs; and no one knows what he
shall earn on the morrow; and no one knows in what land he shall die;
surely Allah is Knowing, Aware". (Quran 31:34)
1- The
Ayah and the similar ones are talking about the unseen and do not
speak about witnessing the process. So, whoever claims that he can know
the gender of the fetus inside his mother's womb, he is just
foreseeing but as for those who use devices to see the baby, he moved
from unseen to realities as for those who see the baby coming out from
the mother's belly. Let us explain this by parables:
If one of the infidels of Makkah were to defy the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying:I can know what is inside the womb then came to a pregnant woman and opened her belly, looked at the fetus and said:It is a boy. Will this be a challenge?
I
have no doubt if this happens, the first to be laugh at him is his
friends because the context of the Ayah is about the world of the
Unseen and is not about reality.
If
we to accept this, what is the difference between to knife a woman's
belly or to put a camera in her womb to photo the fetus inside the womb
or rays that penetrate the wall of the abdomen to the womb!
The
case is back again to realities not the Unseen world and this is
enough to remove ambiguity from this issue. Allah knows the best.
2- By thinking about the word "Ma" in Arabic which was mentioned in the Ayah:"what in the wombs", It is a form of generality at the linguists, so the gender of the baby is not the only thing meant by the Ayah but the meaning is knowing everything about what is in there. For example,
1- whether a male or female?
2- beautiful or ugly?
3- how long shall he/she live?
4- rich or poor?
5- Muslim or non-Muslim?
6- miserable or happy?
7-
short or tall? Black or white, lives in the east or the west, will
marry or not, will have children or not and how many are they? You can
numerate the descriptions that apply to all humans.
Does the knowledge of one of these issues indicate the meaning of the word "What"
No one besides Allah can determine the nature of the child
This
verse does not refer to the sex of the child in the womb but it refers
to, how the child in the mother's womb will be. How will his nature be?
Will he be a blessing or a curse to his parents? Will he be a boon or a
bane to the society? Will he be good or evil? Will he go to heaven or
hell? The complete knowledge of all things is with Allah alone. No
scientist in the world, no matter how advanced his equipment, will ever
be able to accurately determine the knowledge of these things about the
child in the mother's womb.
