* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلاً ثُمَّ لِتَـبْلُغُوۤاْ أَشُدَّكُـمْ ثُمَّ لِتَكُـونُواْ شُيُوخاً وَمِنكُمْ مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ مِن قَبْلُ وَلِتَبْلُغُوۤاْ أَجَلاً مُّسَمًّى وَلَعَلَّـكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ }

He it is Who created you from dust by having created your father Adam from it then from a drop of sperm then from a blood-clot congealed blood then He brings you forth as infants then He sustains you that you may come of age until you have attained your full strength — this being from the age of thirty to forty — then that you may become aged read shuyūkhan or shiyūkhan— though there are some of you who die earlier that is before coming of age or becoming aged. He does this to you so that you may live on and that you may complete an appointed term a defined length of time that perhaps you might understand the proofs of His Oneness and thus become believers.
