Quran 76:1~3 (Ayah al-Insan)
Is there not a period of time when each human is nothing yet worth mentioning? ˹For˺ indeed, We ˹alone˺ created humans from a drop of mixed fluids, ˹in order˺ to test them, so We made them hear and see. We already showed them the Way, whether they ˹choose to˺ be grateful or ungrateful. Quran 76:1~3 Surah al-Insan (Man)
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنسَانِ حِينٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْئًا مَّذْكُورًا “Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?” [76:1]. There are 31 Ayat in this Surah.

هَلۡ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنِ حِینࣱ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهۡرِ لَمۡ یَكُن شَیۡءࣰا مَّذۡكُورًا إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ أَمۡشَاجࣲ نَّبۡتَلِیهِ فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُ سَمِیعَۢا بَصِیرًا إِنَّا هَدَیۡنَـٰهُ ٱلسَّبِیلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرࣰا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا
This Surah speaks about the ways the human being can attain growth and spiritual development. The rewards of the Believers and the character of the Believers are also mentioned.
کیا انسان پر لا متناہی زمانے کا ایک وقت ایسا بھی گزرا ہے جب وہ کوئی قابل ذکر چیز نہ تھا؟ ہم نے انسان کو ایک مخلوط نطفے سے پیدا کیا تاکہ اس کا امتحان لیں اور اِس غرض کے لیے ہم نے اسے سننے اور دیکھنے والا بنایا ہم نے اسے راستہ دکھا دیا، خواہ شکر کرنے والا بنے یا کفر کرنے والا
The theme of this Surah is to inform man of his true position in the world and to tell him that if he understood his true position rightly and adopted the attitude of gratefulness, he would meet with such and such good end and if he adopted the way of disbelief, he would meet with such and such evil ends. In the longer Surahs of the Qur’an this same theme has been presented at length, but a special characteristic of the style of the earliest Surahs revealed at Makkah is that the subjects dealt with at length in the later period, “have been presented in a brief but highly effective way in this period in such concise, elegant sentences as may automatically be preserved in the memory of the hearers.
