قُلْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۖ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ
Qul huwa alla th ee anshaakum wajaAAala lakumu a l ssamAAa wa a lab sa ra wa a lafidata qaleelan m a tashkuroon a
SAY: "[God is] He who has brought you [all] into being, and has endowed you with hearing, and sight, and hearts:20 [yet] how seldom are you grateful!"
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., with the faculty of feeling as well as of rational thinking.

Say: "It is He Who has brought you into being, gave you the faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: yet you are seldom thankful."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Say, 'O Prophet,' 'He is the One Who brought you into being and gave you hearing, sight, and intellect. 'Yet' you hardly give any thanks.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He it is Who gave you being, and hath assigned unto you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Say: "It is He Who has created you (and made you grow) and made for you the faculties of hearing seeing feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give." 5582 5583
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The Prophet is asked to draw constant attention to Allah, 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 Allah.

For anshaa see n. 923 to vi. 98.
