[16:65]
Allah sendeth down water from the sky and
therewith reviveth the earth after her death. Lo! herein
is indeed a portent for a folk who hear.
[16:66]
And lo! in the cattle
there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their
bellies, from betwixt the refuse and the blood, pure milk palatable to the
drinkers.
[16:67]
And of the fruits of the
date-palm, and grapes, whence ye derive strong drink and (also) good
nourishment. Lo! therein is indeed a portent for people who have sense.
[16:68]
And thy Lord inspired the bee, saying: Choose
thou habitations in the hills and in the trees and in that which they thatch;
[16:69]
Then eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of
thy Lord, made smooth (for thee). There cometh forth from their bellies a drink
divers of hues, wherein is healing for mankind. Lo! herein
is indeed a portent for people who reflect.
[16:70]
And Allah createth you, then causeth you to die,
and among you is he who is brought back to the most abject stage of life, so
that he knoweth nothing after (having had) knowledge. Lo! Allah is Knower,
Powerful.
[16:71]
And Allah hath favoured some of you above others
in provision. Now those who are more favoured will by no means hand over their
provision to those (slaves) whom their right hands possess, so that they may be
equal with them in respect thereof. Is it then the grace of Allah that they deny ?
[16:72]
And Allah hath given you wives of your own kind,
and hath given you, from your wives, sons and grandsons, and hath made
provision of good things for you. Is it then in vanity that they believe and in
the grace of Allah that they disbelieve ?
