The Holy Quran 76:2 — Surah Al-Insan

Arabic text

إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَّبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ سَمِيعًۢا بَصِيرًا

Translation

Indeed We have created man from a mixed seed (fusion between the male sperm and female egg) to test him (by prescribing various duties for him) and We made him (a) hearing and seeing (being).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The creation of man from mingled water: that is, [We] created [him] from the two-coloured water of man and woman. (Note.) اَمْشَاجٍ (amshaj) means “mingled”. The foods of which semen is the essence are composed of various substances; therefore, even leaving aside the woman's water, it can be called اَمْشَاجٍ (mingled).
