How can the Quranic verses that speak of God's absolute knowledge of what is in the wombs and mankind's inability to leave the confines of the heavens and the earth be reconciled with modern science's achievements in knowing the gender of the fetus and venturing into space?
The fact that some people know what is in the womb, whether male or female, through devices, does not contradict Allah's saying: {Allah knows what every female carries.} The verse: {O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass. You will not pass except by authority} does not mean the impossibility of people leaving the earth, but rather means the inability to escape from Allah's command and decree on the Day of Gathering.
As for the dream, we have no knowledge of its interpretation. However, whoever sees the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in a dream in his true form, has truly seen him.
