Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

like the twinkling of an eye,
or [even] swifter.
Indeed Allah has power over all things.
78 Allah has brought you forth
from the bellies of your mothers
while you did not know anything.
He made for you hearing, eyesight,
and hearts
so that you may give thanks.
79 Have they not regarded the birds
disposed in the air of the sky:
no one sustains them except Allah.
There are indeed signs in that
for a people who have faith.
80 It is Allah who has made for you
your homes as a place of rest
and He made for you
homes out of the skins of the cattle
which you find portable
on the day of your shifting
and on the day of your halt,
and out of their wool,
their fur and hair
furniture and wares [enduring] for a while.
81 It is Allah who has made for you
shade from what He created,
and made for you retreats in the mountains,
and made for you garments
that protect you from heat
and garments that protect you
