Q
What role does an angel play in the development of a fetus according to Islamic teachings?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allah puts an angel in charge of the uterus and the angel says, ‘O Lord, (it is)
semen! O Lord, (it is now ) a clot! O Lord, (it is now) a piece of flesh.’ And then, if Allah wishes to
complete its creation, the angel asks, ‘O Lord, (will it be) a male or a female? A wretched (an evil
doer) or a blessed (doer of good)? How much will his provisions be? What will his age be?’ So all that
is written while the creature is still in the mother’s womb.”
