"And truly, this (the Qur'an) is a revelation from the Lord of all the worlds." [Al Qur'an 26:192]


First comes sense of hearing then sight

The first sense to develop in a developing human embryo is hearing. The foetus can hear sounds after the 24th week. Subsequently, the sense of sight is developed and by the 28th week, the retina becomes sensitive to light.

The Holy Qur'an explains it thus:
And HE gave you hearing and sight and feeling.
[Al Qur’an 32:9]
Verily WE created man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him; so WE gave him Hearing and Sight.
[Al Qur’an 76:2]
It is HE Who has created for you hearing, sight, feeling and understanding; little thanks it is ye give!
[Al Qur’an 23:78]

In all these verses the sense of hearing is mentioned before that of sight. Thus the Qur’anic description matches perfectly with the discoveries in modern embryology.
