Sura 67
Aya 23
23
قُل هُوَ الَّذي أَنشَأَكُم وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمعَ وَالأَبصارَ وَالأَفئِدَةَ ۖ قَليلًا ما تَشكُرونَ

Yusuf Ali

Say: “It is He Who1 has created you (and made2 you grow), and made for you the faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give.
  • The Teacher is asked to draw constant attention to God, the source of all growth and development, the Giver of the faculties by which we can judge and attain to higher and higher spiritual dignity. And yet, such is our self-will, we use our faculties for wrong purposes and thus show our ingratitude to God.
  • For ansha' see n. 923 to 6:98.
