هُوَ
الَّذِي
خَلَقَكُم
مِّن
تُرَابٍ
ثُمَّ
مِن
نُّطْفَةٍ
ثُمَّ
مِنْ
عَلَقَةٍ
ثُمَّ
يُخْرِجُكُمْ
طِفْلًا
ثُمَّ
لِتَبْلُغُوا
أَشُدَّكُمْ
ثُمَّ
لِتَكُونُوا
شُيُوخًا
وَمِنكُم
مَّن
يُتَوَفَّى
مِن
قَبْلُ
وَلِتَبْلُغُوا
أَجَلًا
مُّسَمًّى
وَلَعَلَّكُمْ
تَعْقِلُونَ
huwa lladhī khalaqakum min turābin thumma min nuṭfatin thumma min ʿalaqatin thumma yukhrijukum ṭiflan thumma li-tablughū ʾashuddakum thumma li-takūnū shuyūkhan wa-minkum man yutawaffā min qablu wa-li-tablughū ʾajalan musamman wa-laʿallakum taʿqilūna
It is He who created you from dust, then from a drop of [seminal] fluid, then from a clinging mass, then He brings you forth as infants, then [He nurtures you] so that you may come of age, and then that you may become aged—though there are some of you who die earlier—and complete a specified term, and so that you may exercise your reason.
— Ali Quli Qarai
It is He Who has created you from dust then from a sperm-drop, then from a leech-like clot; then does he get you out (into the light) as a child: then lets you (grow and) reach your age of full strength; then lets you become old,- though of you there are some who die before;- and lets you reach a Term appointed; in order that ye may learn wisdom.
