He, it is Who has created you (Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah [mixed semen drops of male and female discharge (i.e. Adam's offspring)] then from a clot (a piece of coagulated blood), then brings you forth as children, then (makes you grow) to reach the age of full strength, and afterwards to be old (men and women), though some among you die before, and that you reach an appointed term, in order that you may understand.
او همان كسى است كه شما را از خاكى آفريد، سپس از نطفه‌اى، آنگاه از علقه‌اى، و بعد شما را [به صورت‌] كودكى برمى‌آورد، تا به كمال قوّت خود برسيد و تا سالمند شويد، و از ميان شما كسى است كه مرگ پيش‌رس مى‌يابد، و تا [بالاخره‌] به مدتى كه مقرّر است برسيد، و اميد كه در انديشه فرو رويد.
