Who Created and Balanced
ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ ٧
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Who created you, proportioned you and balanced you.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the basis of every blessing is existence, then order and balance. It is He who brought man from nothing and gave him the fittest balance.
Reflect
Consider today that the balance in your body is a blessing.
