﴿وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ ۗ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ﴾
[ الأعراف: 10]

7:10 And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful.

And We have given you power O Children of Adam in the earth and have appointed for you therein livelihoods ma‘āyish is the plural of ma‘īsha that is the means by which you are able to subsist; little qalīlan mā mā is to emphasise the ‘littleness’ thanks you show for this.

We have firmly established you people on earth and endowed you with the means of living, and with conditions capable of being turned to use, yet how little are thankful

And surely, We gave you authority on the earth and appointed for you therein livelihoods.
Little thanks do you give ( 10 ) All Bounties in the Heavens and Earth are for the Benefit of Mankind Allah reminds of His favor on His servants in that He made the earth a fixed place for dwelling, placed firm mountains and rivers on it and made homes and allowed them to utilize its benefits.
Allah made the clouds work for them ( bringing rain ) so that they may produce their sustenance from them.
He also created the ways and means of earnings, commercial activities and other professions.
Yet, most of them give liltle thanks for this.
Allah said in another Ayah, وَإِن تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ ( And if you count the blessings of Allah,never will you be able to count them.
Verily, man is indeed a wrongdoer, an ingrate. )[ 14:34 ]
