Surah Al-Infitar — 82:6

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ

Yaaa ayyuhal insaaanu maa gharraka bi Rabbikal kareem

O człowieku ! Cóż ciebie zwiodło względem twego Pana, Szlachetnego?

O human being, what has deceived you about your Lord, the Most Generous,

Reflection

The name chosen inside the question does the work: generosity is what lets a person grow careless, since a Lord who withholds nothing gives no daily evidence of displeasure. Early commentators read the address as a rebuke and also as an opening, since it arrives as a question rather than a sentence. Note the shift from the previous verse, which speaks of every soul, to a single person addressed directly.
