١٢

And indeed, We created humankind1 from an extract of clay,
١٣
then placed each ˹human˺ as a sperm-drop1 in a secure place,
١٤
then We developed the drop into a clinging clot, then developed the clot into a lump ˹of flesh˺, then developed the lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, then We brought it into being as a new creation.1 So Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators.
