Then He eased the way

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ ١٧ مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ١٨ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ١٩ ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ٢٠

The meaning, simply

How ungrateful man is to his Lord! Does he not see what Allah created him from? From a small drop He created him, shaped him stage by stage, then made the way of good and evil clear for him.
