Hyperfine Description of Human Creation in the Three Dark Zones in Quran

Abstract

Most commentators interpreted the three dark zones mentioned in Surah Az-Zumar, 39, Ayah 6 of the noble Quran as; the darkness of the abdomen, the darkness of the uterus and the darkness of the placenta. According to contemporary embryology, this interpretation would be a matter of debate. The aim of the current study was to put an acceptable scientific interpretation of these zones which document their hyperfine description in holy Quran. The present study, based upon other verses revealed in Quran, postulated that the appropriate interpretation of these zones , from outside to inside , would be the cavity of the uterus, the cavity of the chorionic vesicle and the amniotic cavity. The harmful effect of exposing early embryonic stages to light would explain the importance of darkness in these zones. In addition, the three zones disappear during the 18^th to 20^th weeks (5^th month) of pregnancy due to fusion of membranes separating these zones. At this time, embryo is only growing after finishing the developmental stages. In conclusion: This article finds that Quran was hyperfine in describing that creation passes through stages which are proceeding in three dark zones. The three zones are only existing during progress of embryonic stages and disappear after their completion.
