Quran 7:10 — Al-A'raaf, verse 10
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
We established you [people] on the earth and provided you with a means of livelihood there––small thanks you give!
وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ ۗ قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ
walaqad makkannākum fī l-arḍi wajaʿalnā lakum fīhā maʿāyisha qalīlan mā tashkurūna
