Transliteration:( Thumma ra dad naahu asfala saafileen )
6. It means, since the human being did appreciate the above-mentioned bounties and adopted infidelity and evil deeds, We made him worse than animals, and lower than any insects and filth, by declaring his abode to be Hell. For this reason there was a place for the animals in the ark of Hazrat Nuh (On whom be peace) but not for the infidels. It could also mean that in old age man has been reduced lower than children and demented persons by snatching his beauty, intelligence and strength which were once provided to him. This tells us that these things do not belong to us but to Allah Almighty. From "but those" we learn that the true believer is spared from the nervousness and ludicrity of old age.
