நிச்சயமாக, நாம் ஆதமுடைய சந்ததியைக் கண்ணியப்படுத்தினோம்; இன்னும், கடலிலும், கறையிலும் அவர்களைச் சுமந்து, அவர்களுக்காக நல்ல உணவு(ம் மற்றும்) பொருட்களையும் அளித்து, நாம் படைத்துள்ள (படைப்புகள்) பலவற்றையும் விட அவர்களை (தகுதியால்) மேன்மைப் படுத்தினோம்.

තවද සැබැවින් ම අපි ආදම්ගේ දරුවන් ගෞරවයට ලක් කළෙමු. තවද ගොඩබිමෙහි හා මුහුදෙහි අපි ඔවුන් ඉසිලීමු. තවද යහපත් දැයින් අපි ඔවුනට පෝෂණය කළෙමු. තවද අප මැව්වා වූ දැයින් බොහෝ දෑට වඩා අපි ඔවුන්ව මහිමයට පත් කිරීමෙන් උසස් කළෙමු.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
یقیناً ہم نے اوﻻد آدم کو بڑی عزت دی اور انہیں خشکی اور تری کی سواریاں دیں اور انہیں پاکیزه چیزوں کی روزیاں دیں اور اپنی بہت سی مخلوق پر انہیں فضیلت عطا فرمائی.

(95:4) He walks upright on his two feet and eats with his hand, whilet other living creatures walk on four feet and eat with their mouths, and He has given him hearing, sight and a heart with which to understand all of that, to benefit from it, and distinguish between things to know which are good for him and which are harmful, in both worldly and religious terms. وَحَمَلْنَهُمْ فِى الْبَرِّ (and We have carried them on land) means, on animals such as cattle, horses and mules, and also on the sea in ships and boats, great and small. وَرَزَقْنَاهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ (and have provided them with At-Tayyibat,) meaning agricultural produce, fruits, meat, and milk with all kinds of delicious and desirable flavors and colors and beautiful appearance, and fine clothes of all kinds of shapes colors and sizes, which they make for themselves or are brought to them by others from other regions and areas.…
