The Holy Quran 13:8 — Surah Ar-Ra'd

Arabic text

ٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثَىٰ وَمَا تَغِيضُ ٱلْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ ۖ وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ عِندَهُۥ بِمِقْدَارٍ

Translation

Allaah knows what every female bears (He knows the gender, the appearance, the temperament and the future of the unborn child) and (He knows) the shortages and excesses in the womb (He knows whether the mother will carry for the full term and what development lacks or progresses in the womb). Everything is perfectly stipulated (proportioned) with Him (nothing can exceed or be less than the period and specifications He sets).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

whether it is male or female, complete or incomplete, good or bad, and other such conditions. The stages of pregnancy and Allah's knowledge: that is, [Allah knows] whether there is one child in the womb of the pregnant woman or more, whether it is fully formed or incomplete, whether it will be born after a short period or a long one.
