LessonsSupplementary Practice 26 — Comparative Rhetoric of Sūrat al-Qāriʿah and Sūrat al-TīnQuiz

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ
We have certainly created humankind in the finest constitution. (95:4)

The lām belongs to the response to the oath, and qad with the perfect verb adds assurance. Khalaqnā supplies verb and subject, al-insān its object, and the prepositional phrase describes the condition of creation. The opening oaths thus culminate in an emphatically stated proposition.

Al-insān here has generic scope. The assertion should not be reduced to the physical attractiveness of a particular individual; it concerns the excellence of human constitution more broadly.
