وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓ أَنْ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ إِذَآ أَنتُم بَشَرٌ تَنتَشِرُونَ
Wamin a y a tihi an khalaqakum min tur a bin thumma i tha antum basharun tantashiroon a
And among His wonders is this: He creates you out of dust14 -and then, lo! you become human beings ranging far and wide!
  - Mohammad Asad

See second half of note [47] on 3:59 , and note [4] on 23:12 .

Of His signs, one is that He created you from dust; and then behold you men are scattered throughout the earth.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
One of His signs is that He created you from dust, then- behold!- you are human beings spreading over 'the earth'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And of His signs is this: He created you of dust, and behold you human beings, ranging widely!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Among His Signs is this that He created you from dust; and then Behold ye are men scattered (far and wide)! 3524
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xviii. 37 and n. 2379. In spite of the lowly origin of man's body, Allah has given him a mind and soul by which he can almost compass the farthest reaches of Time and Space. Is this not enough for a miracle or Sign? From a physical point of view, see how man, a creature of dust, scatters himself over the farthest corners of the earth!
