15As for the ungrateful human being: when his Lord tests him by honoring him with abundant blessings, he says: —My Lord, I deserved this honor.

Explanatory translation

Explanatory translation

15But man is so ungrateful that he never learns from the past. Whenever his Lord puts him through a trial to test him, honors him with blessings such as health, wealth, and power, and bestows blessings on him in abundance, man forgets that these are a test and at once says, “My Lord has given me what I deserve,” and, regarding it as a privilege, grows arrogant.
