يَا أَيُّهَا
النَّاسُ
إِن
كُنتُمْ
فِي
رَيْبٍ
مِّنَ
الْبَعْثِ
فَإِنَّا
خَلَقْنَاكُم
مِّن
تُرَابٍ
ثُمَّ
مِن
نُّطْفَةٍ
ثُمَّ
مِنْ
عَلَقَةٍ
ثُمَّ
مِن
مُّضْغَةٍ
مُّخَلَّقَةٍ
وَغَيْرِ
مُخَلَّقَةٍ
لِّنُبَيِّنَ
لَكُمْ
وَنُقِرُّ
فِي
الْأَرْحَامِ
مَا
نَشَاءُ
إِلَى
أَجَلٍ
مُّسَمًّى
ثُمَّ
نُخْرِجُكُمْ
طِفْلًا
ثُمَّ
لِتَبْلُغُوا
أَشُدَّكُمْ
وَمِنكُم
مَّن
يُتَوَفَّى
وَمِنكُم
مَّن
يُرَدُّ
إِلَى
أَرْذَلِ
الْعُمُرِ
لِكَيْلَا
يَعْلَمَ
مِن
بَعْدِ
عِلْمٍ
شَيْئًا
وَتَرَى
الْأَرْضَ
هَامِدَةً
فَإِذَا
أَنزَلْنَا
عَلَيْهَا
الْمَاءَ
اهْتَزَّتْ
وَرَبَتْ
وَأَنبَتَتْ
مِن
كُلِّ
زَوْجٍ
بَهِيجٍ

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).
— Abdullah Yusufali
O people! If you are in doubt about the resurrection, [consider that] We created you from dust, then from a drop of [seminal] fluid, then from a clinging mass, then from a fleshy tissue, partly formed and partly unformed, so that We may manifest [Our power] to you. We lodge in the wombs whatever [fetus] We wish for a specified term, then We bring you forth as infants, then [We rear you] so that you may come of age. [Then] there are some of you who are taken away, and there are some of you who are relegated to the nethermost age, such that he knows nothing after [having possessed] some knowledge. And you see the earth torpid, yet when We send down water upon it, it stirs and swells, and grows every delightful kind [of plant].
