"It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her [in love]. When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about [unnoticed]. When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, [saying]: "If Thou givest us a goodly child, we vow we shall [ever] be grateful.""— Yusuf Ali translation
