يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O mankind ٱلنَّاسُ O mankind إِن If كُنتُمْ you are فِى in رَيْبٍۢ doubt مِّنَ about ٱلْبَعْثِ the Resurrection فَإِنَّا then indeed, We خَلَقْنَـٰكُم We created you مِّن from تُرَابٍۢ dust ثُمَّ then مِن from نُّطْفَةٍۢ a semen-drop ثُمَّ then مِنْ from عَلَقَةٍۢ a clinging substance ثُمَّ then مِن from مُّضْغَةٍۢ an embryonic lump مُّخَلَّقَةٍۢ formed وَغَيْرِ and unformed مُخَلَّقَةٍۢ and unformed لِّنُبَيِّنَ that We may make clear لَكُمْ ۚ to you وَنُقِرُّ And We cause to remain فِى in ٱلْأَرْحَامِ the wombs مَا what نَشَآءُ We will إِلَىٰٓ for أَجَلٍۢ a term مُّسَمًّۭى appointed ثُمَّ then نُخْرِجُكُمْ We bring you out طِفْلًۭا (as) a child ثُمَّ [then] لِتَبْلُغُوٓا۟ that you may reach أَشُدَّكُمْ ۖ [your] maturity وَمِنكُم And among you مَّن (is he) who يُتَوَفَّىٰ dies وَمِنكُم and among you مَّن (is he) who يُرَدُّ is returned إِلَىٰٓ to أَرْذَلِ the most abject ٱلْعُمُرِ age لِكَيْلَا so that not يَعْلَمَ he knows مِنۢ after بَعْدِ after عِلْمٍۢ having known شَيْـًۭٔا ۚ anything وَتَرَى And you see ٱلْأَرْضَ the earth هَامِدَةًۭ barren فَإِذَآ then when أَنزَلْنَا We send down عَلَيْهَا on it ٱلْمَآءَ water ٱهْتَزَّتْ it gets stirred وَرَبَتْ and it swells وَأَنۢبَتَتْ and grows مِن of كُلِّ every زَوْجٍۭ kind بَهِيجٍۢ beautiful ٥

O people, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed - that We may show you. And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.

۩ Sajdah

أَلَمْ Do not تَرَ you see أَنَّ that ٱللَّهَ (to) Allah يَسْجُدُ prostrates لَهُۥ to Him مَن whoever فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَمَن and whoever فِى (is) in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth وَٱلشَّمْسُ and the sun وَٱلْقَمَرُ and the moon وَٱلنُّجُومُ and the stars وَٱلْجِبَالُ and the mountains وَٱلشَّجَرُ and the trees وَٱلدَّوَآبُّ and the moving creatures وَكَثِيرٌۭ and many مِّنَ of ٱلنَّاسِ ۖ the people وَكَثِيرٌ But many حَقَّ (is) justly due عَلَيْهِ on him ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ the punishment وَمَن And whoever يُهِنِ Allah humiliates ٱللَّهُ Allah humiliates فَمَا then not لَهُۥ for him مِن any مُّكْرِمٍ ۚ bestower of honor إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يَفْعَلُ does مَا what يَشَآءُ ۩ He wills ١٨
