The Prostration, Worship, Adoration, The Adoration — Yusuf Ali Orig 1938 Translation

Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Nay, it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayest admonish a people to whom no warner has come before thee: in order that they may receive guidance

Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something of His spirit. And He gave you (the faculties of) hearing and sight and feeling (and understanding): little thanks do ye give
