Surah Al-A'raf, ayah 189

7:189

۞ 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 ١٨٩

Huwal-ladhī khalaqakum min nafsin wāhidatin waja'ala minhā zawjahā liyaskuna ilayhā falammā taghasshāhā hamalat hamlan khafīfan famarrat bihī falammā athqalad da'awallāha rabbahumā la in ātaytanā sālihal lanakūnanna minash-shākirīn

It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he430 might dwell in security with her. And when he [i.e., man] covers her,431 she carries a light burden [i.e., a pregnancy] and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allāh, their Lord, "If You should give us a good432 [child], we will surely be among the grateful."
