Qur'an 80:24 Abasa

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ

Then let mankind look at his food -

Saheeh International

What it says

The instruction is to look at something already on the table. Not at the stars, not at a miracle, at lunch. The next eight verses take the plate apart backwards, from the food to the plants to the split ground to the rain.
