يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ ف۪ي رَيْبٍ مِنَ الْبَعْثِ فَاِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ مُضْغَةٍ مُخَلَّقَةٍ وَغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْۜ وَنُقِرُّ فِي الْاَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَٓاءُ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلاً ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُٓوا اَشُدَّكُمْۚ وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُتَوَفّٰى وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرَدُّ اِلٰٓى اَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِنْ بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْـٔاًۜ وَتَرَى الْاَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَاِذَٓا اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَٓاءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَاَنْبَتَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَه۪يجٍ

O mankind: if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then: We created you from dust; then from a sperm-drop; then from a clinging thing; then from a fleshy lump formed and unformed — that We might make plain to you. And We settle in the wombs what We will to a stated term; then We bring you forth as a child; then that you should reach your maturity. And among you is he who is taken. And among you is he who is sent back to the most abject age, so that he knows not, after knowledge, anything. And thou seest the earth lifeless; then when We send down upon it water it quivers and swells and grows every delightful kind,

If: He who created the heavens and the earth: — and sent down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to grow gardens full of delight whereof it was not for you to cause the trees to grow — is there any god with God? The truth is, they are a people who ascribe equals.
