The Holy Quran 22:5 — Surah Al-Hajj

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمْ فِى رَيْبٍ مِّنَ ٱلْبَعْثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِن مُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ ۚ وَنُقِرُّ فِى ٱلْأَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَآءُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوٓا۟ أَشُدَّكُمْ ۖ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرْذَلِ ٱلْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْـًٔا ۚ وَتَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَإِذَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَآءَ ٱهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَأَنۢبَتَتْ مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍ

Translation

O people! If you are in doubt about (the possibility of) resurrection, then (remember) We have certainly created you (your father Aadam عليه الصلاة والسلام) from sand, then (the rest of mankind) from a drop of semen, then (the development of the foetus progresses) from a clot of blood, then (it develops further) from a lump of flesh, which is shaped (perfectly) or unshaped (deformed or miscarried); (you were created in these stages) so that We may show you (Our great power). And, according to Our will, We keep you in (your mothers') wombs until an appointed time (when you are due to be born, which is usually nine months). Thereafter, We remove you (from your mothers' wombs) as children, after which you come of age. There are those of you whose souls We claim (at an early age), while others reach the age of infirmity (senility) so that they know nothing after once possessing (much) knowledge. And (another sign to prove the possibility of resurrection is that) you will see the earth barren (without vegetation and foliage, seemingly dead), then we send rains to it, causing it to stir, flourish and grow every kind of beautiful species (of plant life).
