And thus (O Mankind) He gives you the faculties of hearing, and sight, and feelings as well as minds.

| Asad | and then He forms him in accordance with what he is meant to be, and breathes into him of His spirit: [As in 15:29 and 38:72, God's "breathing of His spirit into man" is a metaphor for the divine gift of life and consciousness, or of a "soul" (which, as pointed out in second note on surah 4:171, is one of the meanings of the term ruh). Consequently, "the soul of every human being is of the spirit of God" (Razi). Regarding the verb sawwahu - rendered by me as "He forms him in accordance with what he is meant to be" - see notes on 87:2 and 91:7.] and [thus, O men,] He endows you with hearing, and sight, and feelings as well as minds: [Lit., "hearts" (afidah), which in classical Arabic is a metonym for both "feelings" and "minds"; hence my composite rendering of this term.] [yet] how seldom are you grateful! |
