Primary source

ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظَامًا فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَاهُ خَلْقًا آخَرَ ۚ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ

"Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump, and We made the lump into bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation."

Qur'an 23:14 · trans. Saheeh International

Independent findings

Compared stage by stage against the Carnegie staging system: implantation of the clinging blastocyst, the chewed-lump somite form, chondrification of the skeletal template before the muscular investment that covers it. The sequence — not merely the vocabulary — is what the exhibit tests.
