خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ
3. Created man,
خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ كَالْفَخَّارِ
14. He created man from clay like [that of] pottery.
قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۖ قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ
23. Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful."
وَاللَّهُ أَنْبَتَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا
17. And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.
هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا
1. Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
18. From what substance did He create him?
مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
19. From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
20. Then He eased the way for him;
فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
15. And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
16. But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
