Livestock
أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّا خَلَقۡنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتۡ أَيۡدِينَآ أَنۡعَٰمࣰا فَهُمۡ لَهَا مَٰلِكُونَ ٧١
Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Have they not seen that We created for them, among what Our hands made, livestock that they own?
Insight
Elmalılı explains “what Our hands made” as blessings Allah created directly, with no other craft involved, and leaves the subtleties of this reminder to the reader’s taste.
Reflect
Today, be kind to an animal or look at one attentively.
