The Holy Quran 35:11 — Surah Fatir

Arabic text

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا ۚ وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ أُنثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِهِۦ ۚ وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِن مُّعَمَّرٍ وَلَا يُنقَصُ مِنْ عُمُرِهِۦٓ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ

Translation

Allaah has created you (your father Aadam عليه الصلاة والسلام) from sand, then (the generations after him) from a seed (sperm), and then made you in pairs (male and female). He has knowledge of every female that conceives and delivers. Recorded in the Book (the "Lowhul Mahfoodh") is (each and) every aged person who ages (who reached old age) and (every person) whose age is decreased (who does not reach old age). This (keeping records of everything) is (very) simple for Allaah (do not think that He will find it difficult to record everything you do).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The creation of man: that is, He created Adam from dust and then his offspring from a drop of water. Then He made pairs of men and women, from whom the race spread. All the phases and stages passed through in the meantime, from conception to the birth of the child — knowledge of them all is with Allah alone.
