Surah 55. Ar-Rahman, Ayah 14
| خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ كَالْفَخَّارِ |
| Transliteration | : | khalaqa al- 'insaan min s.als.aal ka- al- fakhkhaar |
| Pickthall | : | He created man of clay like the potter's, |
| Asad | : | He has created man out of sounding clay, like pottery,5 |
| Malik | : | and a few from the later generations. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | He created man from sounding clay like unto pottery. 5181 |
Note - 5See 15:26 and the corresponding note [24].
|
Note - 5181See n. 1966 to xv. 26. The creation of men and Jinns is
contrasted. Man was made of sounding clay, dry and
brittle like pottery. The Jinn (see next note) was made
from a clear flame of fire. Yet each has capacities and
possibilities which only Allah's Grace bestows on them.
How can they deny Allah's favours?
