Al-A'raf · Ayah 10 · Juz 8 · Page 151
وَلَقَدۡ مَكَّنَّٰكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَجَعَلۡنَا لَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَعَٰيِشَۗ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ ١٠
Wa laqad makkannākum fil-arḍi wa jaʿalnā lakum fīhā maʿāyish, qalīlam mā tashkurūn.
And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful.
Translation: Sahih International
And surely, We gave you authority on the earth and appointed for you therein livelihoods. Little thanks do you give (10)
Allah reminds of His favor on His servants in that He made the earth a fixed place for dwelling, placed firm mountains and rivers on it and made homes and allowed them to utilize its benefits. Allah made the clouds work for them (bringing rain) so that they may produce their sustenance from them. He also created the ways and means of earnings, commercial activities and other professions. Yet, most of them give liltle thanks for this. Allah said in another Ayah,
وَإِن تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ
(And if you count the blessings of Allah,never will you be able to count them. Verily, man is indeed a wrongdoer, an ingrate.)[14:34]
