M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

and for him for whom you are not the suppliers.

21. And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it, and We do not send it down but in a known measure.

22. And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the cloud so We give it to you to drink of, nor is it you who store it up.

23. And most surely We bring to life and cause to die and We are the heirs.

24. And certainly We know those of you who have gone before and We certainly know those who shall come later.

25. And surely your Lord will gather them together; surely He is Wise, Knowing.

Section 3

26. And certainly We created man of clay that gives forth sound, of black mud fashioned in shape.

27. And the jinn We created before of intensely hot fire.

28. And when your Lord said to the angels: Surely I am going to create a mortal of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.
