هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَـٰنِ حِينٌ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْـًٔا مَّذْكُورًا
Hal ataa 'alal insaani heenum minad dahri lam yakun shai'am mazkooraa
Was there not a period of time when man was nothing to speak of ?
Has there not come upon man a stretch of time when he was nothing worth mentioning?
