Word by word

وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓ أَنْ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ إِذَآ أَنتُم بَشَرٌ تَنتَشِرُونَ

And of His signs is that He created you from dust; then, suddenly you were human beings dispersing [throughout the earth].

ومن آيات الله الدالة على عظمته وكمال قدرته أن خلق أباكم آدم من تراب، ثم أنتم بشر تتناسلون منتشرين في الأرض، تبتغون من فضل الله.
