Learning by means of X-rays whether a child in the womb is male or female is not contrary to the meaning of the verse, “And He Who knows what is in the wombs,”(31:34) which refers to the Unseen. For what is intended by the verse are the preliminaries of the child’s particular capacity and the appointed course of its life, which it will acquire in the future, and even the wondrous stamp of the Eternally Besought One on its face – the child being known in this way is particular to the One All-Knowing of the Unseen.(*)Even if a hundred thousand X-ray-like minds of men were to combine, they still could not discover its true features, each of which is a mark distinguishing the child from all the other members of the human race. So how could they discover the non-physical features of its abilities, which are a hundred times more wondrous than its physical features.
