Ar-Rum 30:54

Word by word

۞ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن ضَعْفٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ضَعْفٍ قُوَّةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ ضَعْفًا وَشَيْبَةً ۚ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْقَدِيرُ

Allāh is the one who created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength, then made after strength weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills, and He is the Knowing, the Competent.

الله تعالى هو الذي خلقكم من ماء ضعيف مهين، وهو النطفة، ثم جعل من بعد ضعف الطفولة قوة الرجولة، ثم جعل من بعد هذه القوة ضعف الكبر والهرم، يخلق الله ما يشاء من الضعف والقوة، وهو العليم بخلقه، القادر على كل شيء.
