76:1

هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا

Hal atea aalal inseani heenun minad dahri lam yakun shay’an mazkoorea(mazkooran).

Has there not come over man a long period of time when he was not a thing worth mentioning (until he became a being worth mentioning) (a period that passed from his first creation as a single cell until his becoming a being worth mentioning-his birth)?
