He Created Man
خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ ٣
He hath created man.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Created man.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, though some say it means Adam or the Prophet, “man” here is mankind as a whole; the perfect human, to whom the Qur’an is taught, may also be meant.
Reflect
Consider that you were created to learn the Qur’an.
