هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَـٰنِ حِينٌ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْـًٔا مَّذْكُورًا

Simple Explanation
Allah begins by reminding the human being of his forgotten beginning. There was a time when every person was not even a mentioned thing, then Allah created him from a mixed drop and gave him hearing and sight.
Life is a test. Allah showed the human being the path, and now the person chooses gratitude or rejection.
The ayahs also warn that disbelief has consequences: chains, shackles, and blazing fire are prepared for those who reject Allah after guidance reaches them.
