Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran - 40:67

Translation for 40:67

He is the One Who created you1 from dust, then from a sperm-drop,2 then ˹developed you into˺ a clinging clot,3 then He brings you forth as infants, so that you may reach your prime, and become old—though some of you ˹may˺ die sooner—reaching an appointed time, so perhaps you may understand ˹Allah’s power˺.
