Quran 36:77 — Yaseen, verse 77
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Can man not see that We created him from a drop of fluid? Yet- lo and behold!- he disputes openly,
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُبِينٌ
awalam yara l-insānu annā khalaqnāhu min nuṭ'fatin fa-idhā huwa khaṣīmun mubīnun
