وَّالۡخَـيۡلَ وَالۡبِغَالَ وَالۡحَمِيۡرَ لِتَرۡكَبُوۡهَا وَزِيۡنَةً ؕ وَيَخۡلُقُ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٨

And horses and mules and asses (hath He created) that ye may ride them, and for ornament. And He createth that which ye know not.

وَتَحۡمِلُ اَثۡقَالَـكُمۡ اِلٰى بَلَدٍ لَّمۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡا بٰلِغِيۡهِ اِلَّا بِشِقِّ الۡاَنۡفُسِؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكُمۡ لَرَءُوۡفٌ رَّحِيۡمٌۙ ٧
16:7And they bear your loads for you unto a land ye could not reach save with great trouble to yourselves. Lo! your Lord is Full of Pity, Merciful.
وَّالۡخَـيۡلَ وَالۡبِغَالَ وَالۡحَمِيۡرَ لِتَرۡكَبُوۡهَا وَزِيۡنَةً ؕ وَيَخۡلُقُ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٨
16:8And horses and mules and asses (hath He created) that ye may ride them, and for ornament. And He createth that which ye know not.
وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ قَصۡدُ السَّبِيۡلِ وَمِنۡهَا جَآٮِٕرٌؕ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَهَدٰٮكُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ ٩
16:9And Allah's is the direction of the way, and some (roads) go not straight. And had He willed He would have led you all aright.
هُوَ الَّذِىۡۤ اَنۡزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً لَّـكُمۡ مِّنۡهُ شَرَابٌ وَّمِنۡهُ شَجَرٌ فِيۡهِ تُسِيۡمُوۡنَ ١٠
16:10He it is Who sendeth down water from the sky, whence ye have drink, and whence are trees on which ye send your beasts to pasture.
يُنۡۢبِتُ لَـكُمۡ بِهِ الزَّرۡعَ وَالزَّيۡتُوۡنَ وَالنَّخِيۡلَ وَالۡاَعۡنَابَ وَمِنۡ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِؕ اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّـقَوۡمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوۡنَ ١١
16:11Therewith He causeth crops to grow for you, and the olive and the date-palm and grapes and all kinds of fruit. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who reflect.
وَسَخَّرَ لَـكُمُ الَّيۡلَ وَالنَّهَارَۙ وَالشَّمۡسَ وَالۡقَمَرَؕ وَالنُّجُوۡمُ مُسَخَّرٰتٌۢ بِاَمۡرِهٖؕ اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّـقَوۡمٍ يَّعۡقِلُوۡنَۙ ١٢
16:12And He hath constrained the night and the day and the sun and the moon to be of service unto you, and the stars are made subservient by His command. Lo! herein indeed are portents for people who have sense.
وَمَا ذَرَاَ لَـكُمۡ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ مُخۡتَلِفًا اَلۡوَانُهٗؕ اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً لّـِقَوۡمٍ يَّذَّكَّرُوۡنَ ١٣
16:13And whatsoever He hath created for you in the earth of diverse hues, lo! therein is indeed a portent for people who take heed.
وَهُوَ الَّذِىۡ سَخَّرَ الۡبَحۡرَ لِتَاۡكُلُوۡا مِنۡهُ لَحۡمًا طَرِيًّا وَّتَسۡتَخۡرِجُوۡا مِنۡهُ حِلۡيَةً تَلۡبَسُوۡنَهَاۚ وَتَرَى الۡـفُلۡكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيۡهِ وَلِتَبۡتَغُوۡا مِنۡ فَضۡلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُوۡنَ ١٤
16:14And He it is Who hath constrained the sea to be of service that ye eat fresh meat from thence, and bring forth from thence ornaments which ye wear. And thou seest the ships ploughing it that ye (mankind) may seek of His bounty and that haply ye may give thanks.
