Qur'anic verses - Stages of human growth:

If they really have doubts in their minds about the life after death, they have only to turn their attention, either to their own nature, or to the nature around. How wonderful is their own physical growth, from lifeless matter, to seed, fertilised ovum, foetus, child, youth, age, and death! How can they doubt that the Author of all these wonderful stages in their life here can also give them another kind of life after the end of this life?

The stages of man's physical growth from nothing till he completes the cycle of this life are described in words whose accuracy, beauty, and comprehensiveness can only be fully understood by biologists.

Or, if they look at external nature, they see the earth dead and barren, and fertilising showers bring it to life, growth and beauty in various forms. The Creator of this great pageant of Beauty can surely create yet another and newer world.
