هُوَ
الَّذِي
خَلَقَكُم
مِّن
نَّفْسٍ
وَاحِدَةٍ
وَجَعَلَ
مِنْهَا
زَوْجَهَا
لِيَسْكُنَ
إِلَيْهَا
فَلَمَّا
تَغَشَّاهَا
حَمَلَتْ
حَمْلًا
خَفِيفًا
فَمَرَّتْ
بِهِ
فَلَمَّا
أَثْقَلَت
دَّعَوَا
اللَّهَ
رَبَّهُمَا
لَئِنْ
آتَيْتَنَا
صَالِحًا
لَّنَكُونَنَّ
مِنَ
الشَّاكِرِينَ

It is God Who created you from a single soul and out of it made its spouse to bring it comfort. When he (man) engaged in carnal relations with her, she conceived a light burden which she had to carry. When the baby grew in her womb, they (husband and wife) both prayed to their Lord, "If You grant us a healthy son we shall certainly give you thanks."
