Question:
A question was received by the program from the listener Husayn Isma'il al-'Aydarous in the Democratic Yemen, Hadramawt. He asks about the interpretation of the saying of the Righteous, Blessed and Exalted is He, I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan:
He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknessesيَخْلُقُكُمْ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِنْ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ ثَلاثٍ
[Surah al-Zumar: 6]. What is the meaning of the three darknesses? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The scholars of knowledge, may Allah have mercy on them, mentioned in the exegesis that the meaning of the verse is: the servant is developed in the womb, one stage after another. First, Allah creates him as a drop of fluid from the fluid of the woman and the fluid of the man, mixed together. Then this drop turns into a clot of blood, and this is a second stage. Then Allah creates this clot as a lump of flesh, the size of what a person chews. Then in this lump, the formation takes place of the head, the legs, the hands, and the like. This is the meaning of
He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creationيَخْلُقُكُمْ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِنْ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ
[Surah al-Zumar: 6], meaning: development, He develops in the belly of his mother, one creation after another, from one stage to another.
As for
within three darknessesفِي ظُلُمَاتٍ ثَلاثٍ
[Surah al-Zumar: 6], the scholars interpreted it by saying that the three darknesses are: the darkness of the womb, the darkness of the placenta in which the womb is, and the darkness of the belly; the belly of the woman. So they are three darknesses: in the womb, then in the sac of the placenta, then behind the belly, inside the belly, inside her belly. So a darkness within a belly, a darkness: the darkness of the womb, and the darkness of the placenta, which is the sac in which the child is, the sac in which the child is, then the darkness of the womb, then the darkness of the belly. And the placenta usually falls, it falls with the child or after it, this sac in which the child is in the belly of the womb, then the womb is a second darkness, then the belly is a third darkness. And your Lord is Wise and Knowing There is no deity except Him. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
