﴿ لِّلَّهِ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ يَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ إِنَٰثًۭا وَيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ٱلذُّكُورَ ﴾
“God’s alone is the dominion over the heavens and the earth. He creates whatever He wills: He bestows the gift of female offspring on whomever He wills, and the gift of male offspring on whomever He wills;”
(Unto Allah belongeth the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth) unto Allah belong the stores of the heaven and the earth: rain and vegetation. (He createth what He will) as He will. (He bestoweth female (offspring) upon whom He will) as was the case with the Prophet Lot who did not have any sons, (and bestoweth male (offspring) upon whom He will) such as was the case with the Prophet Abraham who did not have daughters;
