Creation

ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا

[Prophet], leave Me to deal with the one I created helpless,

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ

Was he not just a drop of spilt-out sperm,

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

which became a clinging form, which God shaped in due proportion,

إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَّبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ سَمِيعًۢا بَصِيرًا

We created man from a drop of mingled fluid to put him to the test; We gave him hearing and sight;

نَّحْنُ خَلَقْنَـٰهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَآ أَسْرَهُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَآ أَمْثَـٰلَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا

Yet We created them; We strengthened their constitution; if We please, We can replace such people completely.

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ

Did We not make you from an underrated fluid

وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا

Did We not create you in pairs,

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا

Which is harder to create: you people or the sky that He built,

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ

From what thing does God create him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ

He creates him from a droplet, He proportions him,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

your generous Lord, who created you, shaped you, proportioned you,

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

Man should reflect on what he was created from.

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ

He is created from spurting fluid,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

who created [all things] in due proportion;

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

Do the disbelievers not see how rain clouds are formed 1

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ

whose like has never been made in any land,

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ

that We have created man for toil and trial.

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

by His creation of male and female!

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ

We create man in the finest state

ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ

Read! In the name of your Lord who created:

خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ

He created manfrom a clinging form.

مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

against the harm in what He has created,
