And they carry your loads to a land that you could not reach
except with great trouble to yourselves. Truly, your Lord is full of Kindness,
Most Merciful. (7) And (He has created) horses, mules and donkeys, for you to ride
and as an adornment. And He creates (other) things of which you have no
knowledge. (8) And upon Allâh is the responsibility to explain the Straight
Path , But there are ways that turn aside (such as Paganism, Judaism,
Christianity,). And had He willed, He would have guided you all (mankind). (9) He it is Who sends
down water (rain) from the sky; from it you drink and from it (grows) the
vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture; (10) With it He causes to
grow for you the crops, the olives, the date-palms, the grapes, and every kind
of fruit. Verily! In this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for
people who give thought. (11) And He has subjected to you the night and the
day, the sun and the moon; and the stars are subjected by His Command. Surely,
in this are proofs for people who understand. (12) And whatsoever He has
created for you on the earth of varying colours [and qualities from vegetation
and fruits (botanical life) and from animals (zoological life)]. Verily! In
this is a sign for people who remember. (13) And He it is Who has subjected the sea
(to you), that you eat thereof fresh tender meat (i.e. fish), and that you
bring forth out of it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships ploughing
through it, that you may seek (thus) of His Bounty (by transporting the goods
from place to place) and that you may be grateful. (14)
