Quran 23:78 — Al-Muminoon, verse 78
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
It is God who endowed you with hearing, sight, and hearts- how seldom you are grateful!
وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ
wahuwa alladhī ansha-a lakumu l-samʿa wal-abṣāra wal-afidata qalīlan mā tashkurūna
