Arabic text

۞ وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَـٰلِحًا ۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥ ۖ هُوَ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا فَٱسْتَغْفِرُوهُ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى قَرِيبٌ مُّجِيبٌ

Translation

To the (nation of) Thamud We sent their brother Saalih عليه الصلاة والسلام (as a Nabi). He said, "O my people! Worship (Only) Allaah. There is no Ilaah for you besides Him. He created you from the earth and settled you on it. So seek forgiveness from Him, then turn to Him. Undoubtedly, my Rabb is Near, Responsive."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Then He produced from the earth foods from which the seed and so on are formed, which is the substance from which a human being is born. That is, having created [you], He sustained [you] and provided the means of survival.
