1. There are two phases in Quran in Surah Al-Hajj verse 5 which state about human life:
*
5. O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that we
created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then
out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, In order that we
may Manifest (Our power) to you; and we cause whom we will to rest In the
wombs for an appointed term, then do we bring you out As babes, then (foster
you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called
to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that They know
nothing after having known (much), and (further), Thou seest the earth barren
and lifeless, but when we pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells,
and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).
2. • In This Surah, Allah SWT categorize human life into the prenatal and the postnatal.
Allah succinctly describes the two phases in precise and concise manner of human
life which first at the womb for an appointed term and then terminated through
birth on earth.
PRENATAL LIFE
Surah Al-Mu’minun verse 14
3. 0 6 7 14 15 21 Old Age and Died
POSTNATAL LIFE
From the surah mention that then Allah SWT brings us out as babes, then (foster
us) that we may reach our age of full strength; and some of us die early, and some
of us are until feeblest old age.
4. It is then explained in Hadiths of RasulAllah SAW on
how to educate the child regarding their age.
Saidina Ali RA divided child during the prenatal life
into 4 phases. 0-6 years, 7-14 years, 15-21 years, and
21 and above.
From Abu Daud, RasulAllah SAW said: “Command
your children to pray when he was set up seven
years and beat them for leaving prayers at the age
of ten years and Isolate the bed between them
(male and female)”
