7الَّذي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَMuhammad Asadwho has created thee, and formed thee in accordance with what thou art meant to be,1 and shaped thy nature in just proportions,2I.e., "endowed thee with all the qualities and abilities relevant to the exigencies of thy individual life and thy environment".Lit., "made thee proportionate", i.e., a being subject to physical needs and emotional urges, and at the same time endowed with intellectual and spiritual perceptions: in other words, a being in whom there is no inherent conflict between the demands of "the spirit and the flesh", since both these aspects of the human condition are - as stressed in the next verse - God-willed and, therefore, morally justified.
