49. To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. His creates what He wills. He bestows female (offspring) upon whom He wills, and bestows male (offspring) upon whom He wills. 50. Or He bestows both males and females, and He renders barren whom He wills. Verily, He is All-Knower and is Able to do all things. Surah 42. Ash-Shūra
