THE GROWTH OF A CHILD IN THE WOMB OF A MOTHER

[Muslimah]

<div>Abdullah B. Mas’ud (Allāh be pleased with him) reported that :-



</div>

The PROPHET

[may peace be upon him] said:-

'Verily your creation is on this wise.

The constituents of one of you are collected for forty (40) days in his Mother's womb in the

form of blood~

...after which it becomes a clot of blood in another period of forty (40) days.

Then it becomes a lump of flesh and

forty (40) days later

...Allah sends His Angel to it with instructions concerning four (4) things !

so the Angel writes down his

# 1. Livelihood,

# 2. His Death,

# 3. His Deeds,

# 4. His Fortune & Misfortune

By Him, besides Whom there is no God,

that one amongst you acts like the people deserving Paradise until between him and Paradise there remains but the distance of a cubit !

when suddenly the writing of destiny overcomes him and he begins to act like the denizens of Hell

and thus enters Hell !

and ...?

another one acts in the way of the denizens of Hell, until there remains between him and Hell a distance of a cubit that the writing of destiny overcomes him and then he begins to act like the people of Paradise !

...and ...?

Enters Paradise !
