ٱلْأَعْرَاف : ١٨٩

  • هُوَ He
  • ٱلَّذِي (is) the One Who
  • خَلَقَكُم created you
  • مِّن from
  • نَّفۡسٖ a soul
  • وَٰحِدَةٖ single
  • وَجَعَلَ and made
  • مِنۡهَا from it
  • زَوۡجَهَا its mate
  • لِيَسۡكُنَ that he might live
  • إِلَيۡهَاۖ with her
  • فَلَمَّا And when
  • تَغَشَّىٰهَا he covers her
  • حَمَلَتۡ she carries
  • حَمۡلًا a burden
  • خَفِيفٗا light
  • فَمَرَّتۡ and continues
  • بِهِۦۖ with it
  • فَلَمَّآ But when
  • أَثۡقَلَت she grows heavy
  • دَّعَوَا they both invoke
  • ٱللَّهَ Allah
  • رَبَّهُمَا their Lord
  • لَئِنۡ If
  • ءَاتَيۡتَنَا You give us
  • صَٰلِحٗا a righteous (child)
  • لَّنَكُونَنَّ surely we will be
  • مِنَ among
  • ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ the thankful
It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he1 might dwell in security with her. And when he [i.e., man] covers her, she carries a light burden [i.e., a pregnancy] and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allāh, their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful."
Footnotes
1

i.e., man or every descendent of Adam.

[431] An allusion to sexual intercourse.

[432] Physically sound or righteous.

He, that is, God, it is Who created you from a single soul, namely, Adam, and made, created, from him his spouse, Eve, that he might take rest in her, and become intimate with her. Then, when he covered her, when he had sexual intercourse with her, she bore a light burden, namely, the sperm-drop, and moved to and fro with it, that is, she came and went [easily] on account of its lightness; but when she became heavy, because of the child growing inside her, and they became anxious that it should be a dumb child, they cried to God their Lord, 'If You give us one, a child, that is sound, unimpaired, we indeed shall be of the thankful', to You for it.
