Q 32:9
ثُمَّ سَوَّىٰهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِۦ ۖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ
Translations
Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.puis Il lui donna sa forme parfaite et lui insuffla de Son Esprit. Et Il vous a assigné l'ouïe, les yeux et le cœur. Que vous êtes peu reconnaissants!Tafsir
Then He completed the creation of the human in his complete form His soul through the angel appointed with blowing the soul, and made for you - O people - ears so that you could hear with them, eyes so that you could see, and hearts so that you could understand. Little are you grateful for these bounties of Allah which He bestows upon you.
Read Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abridged, English))
Who made everything He has created good and He began the creation of man from clay (7)Then He made his offspring from semen of despised water (8)Then He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him the soul; and He gave you hearing, sight and the sense of deduction. Little is the thanks you give (9)
The Creation of Man in Stages
Allah tells us that He has created everything well and formed everything in a goodly fashion. Malik said, narrating from Zayd bin Aslam:
الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ ۖ
(Who made everything He has created good) means, "He created everything well and in a goodly fashion." When Allah mentions the creation of the heavens and the earth, He follows that by mentioning the creation of man. Allah says:
وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ الْإِنْسَانِ مِنْ طِينٍ
(and He began the creation of man from clay.) meaning, He created the father of mankind, Adam, from clay.
ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهُ مِنْ سُلَالَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ مَهِينٍ
(Then He made his offspring from semen of despised water.) means, they reproduce in this fashion, from a Nutfah which comes from the loins of men and from between the ribs of women.
ثُمَّ سَوَّاهُ
(Then He fashioned him in due proportion,) means, when He created Adam from clay, He created him and gave him shape and made him upright.
وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِنْ رُوحِهِ ۖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۚ
(and breathed into him the soul; and He gave you hearing, sight and the sense of deduction.) means, reason.
قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ
(Little is the thanks you give!) means, for these strengths with which Allah has provided you; the one who is truly blessed is the one who uses them to worship and obey his Lord, may He be exalted and glorified.
