a sperm-drop; then He
made you in pairs. And no female conceives, or lays down (her load),
but with His knowledge. Nor is a man long-lived granted length of days,
nor is a part cut off from his life, but is in a Decree (ordained). All
this is easy to Allah.

P: Allah created you from dust, then from a little fluid, then He made
you pairs (the male and female). No female beareth or bringeth forth
save with His knowledge. And no-one groweth old who groweth old, nor is
aught lessened of his life, but it is recorded in a Book, Lo! that is
easy for Allah.

S: And Allah created you of dust, then of the life-germ, then He made
you pairs; and no female bears, nor does she bring forth, except with
His knowledge; and no one whose life is lengthened has his life
lengthened, nor is aught diminished of one's life, but it is all in a
book; surely this is easy to Allah.

Y: Nor are the two bodies of flowing water alike,- the one palatable,
sweet, and pleasant to drink, and the other, salt and bitter. Yet from
each (kind of water) do ye eat flesh fresh and tender, and ye extract

this (other) bitter, salt. And from them both ye eat fresh meat and
derive the ornament that ye wear. And thou seest the ship cleaving them
with its prow that ye may seek of His bounty, and that haply ye may
give thanks.

S: And the two seas are not alike: the one sweet, that subdues thirst by
its excessive sweetness, pleasant to drink; and the other salt, that
burns by its saltness; yet from each of them you eat fresh flesh and
bring forth ornaments which you wear; and you see the ships cleave
through it that you may seek of His bounty and that you may be
grateful.

Y: He merges Night into Day, and he merges Day into Night, and he has
subjected the sun and the moon (to his Law): each one runs its course
for a term appointed. Such is Allah your Lord: to Him belongs all
Dominion. And those whom ye invoke besides Him have not the least
power.

P: He maketh the night to pass into the day and He maketh the day to
pass into the night. He hath subdued the sun and moon to service. Each
runneth unto an appointed term. Such is Allah, your Lord; His is the
Sovereignty; and those unto whom ye pray instead of Him own not so much
