Gaining knowledge of the development of the fetus through a scan

Q: As we recite the Holy Quraan and we see in Surat e Luqman that some kind of knowledge is with Allah and no one knows about that. For example when will it rain and what is inside of the women, either male or female and when and where will the person die. So nowadays we see the technology that every one knows that what is inside a female's abdomen. So is there controversial that the new tafseer will change from the old one and what answer will we give to non muslims when we explain these ayaats.

A: The verse refers to the exact details of every fetus of every creation, animals and humans, from the time of inception right until birth and beyond, during every stage of development. This cannot be acquired by technology.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
