Is there any mention in Islamic jurisprudence of seeing pre-birth events based on remembering life in the womb and before it, as evidenced by the verse: "Has there not come upon man a period of time when he was nothing worth mentioning?"

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no Shari (Islamic legal) evidence to support what was mentioned, and the noble verse: ﴿And Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs while you knew nothing; and He gave you hearing and sight and hearts that you might give thanks.﴾ [An-Nahl: 78] indicates that a person is born knowing nothing. It is advised to engage in what brings benefit in terms of good deeds and righteous actions.
