Ya_ ay yuhan na_su in kuntum fi raibihim minal ba'tsi fa in na_ khalaqna_kum min tura_bin sum ma min nutfatin sum ma min alaqatin sum ma min mudghatim mukhal laqatiw wa gairi mukhal laqatil linubay yina lakum wa nuqir ru fil arha_mi ma_ nasya_ u ila_ ajalim musam man
YUSUFALI O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term,.
PICKTHAL O mankind! if ye are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then lo! We have created you from dust, then from a drop of seed, then from a clot, then from a little lump of flesh shapely and shapeless, that We may make (it) clear for you. And We cause what We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed time,
SHAKIR O people! if you are in doubt about the raising, then surely We created you from dust, then from a small seed, then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh, complete in make and incomplete, that We may make clear to you; and We cause what We please to stay in the wombs till an appointed time
Rashad Khalifa O people, if you have any doubt about resurrection, (remember that) we created you from dust, and subsequently from a tiny drop, which turns into a hanging (embryo), then it becomes a fetus that is given life or deemed lifeless. We thus clarify things for you. We settle in the wombs whatever we will for a predetermined period.At the stage it is of two types; and
Passive participle noun { }, singular, feminine, One who gets created.
Other than one who gets created.
And then it is clarified that We cause to stay him in the womb whom We want.
What happens to the the one who does not get created? The one who get created is stayed in the womb which means that the other one stays somewhere else and for that reason does not get created. This is called tubal ectopic pregnancy/Extra uterine Pregnancy. This diagram would clarify things quite vividly.http//haqeeqat.org.pk/paker/06/slides/011.html
Urdu reading friends could read the entire process of creation as narrated by the Quran on this link; from creation of sperm to delivery of the child.

Mazhar,
Ectopic pregnancy is where the sperm fertilizes the egg while egg is still in the tube; as a resut embryo starts growing in the tube as oppose to the uterus. This embryo grows normally up till a point where it has to be taken out through surgery, otherwise mother would die. Long time back women used to die because the tube would explode. Now surgery is the panacea.
On the other hand, not all embryos in the uterus grow normally. Abnormal ones or dead ones would result into miscarriages.
To my mind, Quran is saying the following
- Leach like structure grows in uterus
- Some of them God will take to completion
- Rest of them God will not let compelete (may it be in uterus or in the tube).
- Only complete ones would be allowed to stay in the wombs.
"And then it is clarified that We cause to stay him in the womb whom We want. " The ones that are not caused to stay in the womb by God would result in miscarriages. They would exit the wombs. I think Quran is talking about the embroys that die along the way and are exited.
Ectopic embryo, on the other hand, will keep on growing normally until it kills the mother by bursting the tubes or it is taken out by surgery and hence get killed. I dont see how Quran is touching this topic. Please elaborate. Thanks.

Dear Explorer,
Please keep in front of you only the Arabic text, 2205, and restrict to the true meanings of the Arabic words, not the meanings which were derived by the lexicographers/translators matching their perception of the things in those days. The true meanings of the words you will find the same as stated above in the lexicons.
is the third stage in the creation of posterity of Adam. And it is the stage when stage of has passed, i.e. clinging/implant of the fertilized egg either to the wall of fallopian tube or having reached the womb clung there. About this it has been said that it is and . can be found either in the womb or outside the womb. Allah disclosed that the one outside the womb is the one who is other than the one which gets created and it is the one which is found in womb. Miscarriage relates only to womb. The one outside the womb will never be created, it is to scatter, sooner or later.
