Al-Mursalat 77:20–24
From a humble fluid
أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍۢ مَّهِينٍۢ ٢٠ فَجَعَلْنَٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍۢ مَّكِينٍ ٢١ إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ٢٢ فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْقَٰدِرُونَ ٢٣ وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٢٤
The meaning, simply
Did Allah not create you from a weak fluid, which He placed in a safe, protected place inside the mother until a time He knows? He shaped and formed it, and how excellent He is in His power! Woe that Day to the deniers.

Think with me
You were very tiny, and Allah kept you safe inside your mother. How do you thank Allah for creating you?
