36:77

أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ

awalam yara l-insānu annā khalaqnāhu min nuṭ'fatin fa-idhā huwa khaṣīmun mubīnun

Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?

— Saheeh International

Can man not see that We created him from a drop of fluid? Yet- lo and behold!- he disputes openly,

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female sexual discharge - semen drops). Yet behold he (stands forth) as an open opponent.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
