Gushing Water
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءࣲ دَافِقࣲ ٦
He is created from a gushing fluid.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
He was created from a gushing fluid.
Insight
Elmalılı notes that the fluid is given an active adjective where a passive one would be expected, which is remarkable, and relates three explanations.
Reflect
Give thanks for coming this far from such a small beginning.
