Ayah: 189

۞ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفۡسٖ وَٰحِدَةٖ وَجَعَلَ مِنۡهَا زَوۡجَهَا لِيَسۡكُنَ إِلَيۡهَاۖ فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّىٰهَا حَمَلَتۡ حَمۡلًا خَفِيفٗا فَمَرَّتۡ بِهِۦۖ فَلَمَّآ أَثۡقَلَت دَّعَوَا ٱللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنۡ ءَاتَيۡتَنَا صَٰلِحٗا لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ

189. It is He (Allāh) Who created you from a single being (Adam), and made his mate (Eve) of like nature, so that he may find comfort in her. But when he (man, a pagan) engaged in carnal relations with his wife, she bore a light burden (unnoticed pregnancy) which she had to carry. When 'the baby' grew in her womb, they (husband and wife) both prayed to Allāh, their Lord, (saying): "If You give us a good child, we shall certainly be of the thankful."
